Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the NBA is a proud day in the sport as they celebrate his legacy and offer a full slate of games starting at 1pm ET. Today's slate is 9 games, with 4 being nationally televised. There are quite a few quality matchups today, including Toronto Raptors vs New York Knicks, Indiana Pacers and Milwaukee Bucks in their first meeting on the season, and Miami Heat vs Atlanta Hawks. Let's look at my favorite player props of the day.
Giannis Antetokounmpo (MIL) over 31.5 points (-115)
.
Giannis has missed two straight games after his season low 7-point performance on January 11th. He comes into this game well rested and takes on the Indiana Pacers at home. The Greek Freak benefits greatly from the time off, as he averages 37PPG when getting more than 3 days rest. At home, he's hit this line in 11/17 and averages 33.9 PPG on the season.
