A national television audience will be able to tune into ESPN Wednesday night and watch Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks battle Devin Booker and the Suns.
The Bucks are coming in hot, having won and covered their first five games of February. Meanwhile, the Suns are on a run themselves – winning their last three games – although they could be without Chris Paul for this one.
Phoenix has dominated this series recently, winning three of the last four matchups between the teams including a 140-131 win last March. The Bucks are favored by 4.5 points in this matchup and there are plenty of player props to consider.
Since Chris Paul’s status is still unknown, we will focus on the Bucks’ side of the action in terms of prop bets.

Khris Middleton Can Fill It Up
Middleton is literally on fire this season. When many think of the Bucks, they think Antetokounmpo, but maybe it’s time to start thinking Middleton. To say he is having a career-year is the understatement of all understatements.
Tonight, Jrue Holiday will be sitting out, which means there will be a few more shots to go around. Holiday sat out of the Bucks’ last game and Middleton ended up taking 16 shots – a couple more than his season average. It was Holiday’s first time sitting out all season so the sample size isn’t useable but it’s all we have. It’s worth noting that Middleton scored 29 points in the game.
What was interesting about last game was that Middleton scored 29 points but missed all five of his three-point attempts. That has only happened two other times this season, and in the next game Middleton hit at least two of his long range attempts. He did take 11 free throws which was by far a season-high, but losing those attempts could be mitigated by three-pointers. He is a safe bet to score in the mid-20s or higher tonight.
The Pick: Khris Middleton Over 21.5 Points (-116)

Brook Lopez Eats on the Glass
It’s been a long time since Brook Lopez has been regarded as a decent rebounder but he is far from bad. He’s actually having his best season in years in terms of rebounds per 36 minutes. In fact, in his last four games, he hasn’t had less than five in any of them.
The Phoenix Suns are not a great rebounding team by any stretch. Only seven teams in the NBA have a worse opponent rebounding percentage. Given the presence of Deandre Ayton, Lopez should be on the floor for his normal allotment of minutes which could lead to more boards.
Lopez’s rebound number is incredibly low tonight for a center. In their time on the floor, opposing centers are getting at least five rebounds almost automatically. The Suns have played 18 games in 2021 and the opposing starting center has pulled down at least five boards in all of them except one. The lone exception was Kevin Looney when he only grabbed four in 15 minutes of action. Lopez is in a great spot to grab at least five rebounds tonight.
The Pick: Brook Lopez Over 4.5 Rebounds (-140)
