Can Giannis Antetokounmpo make a run at the NBA MVP award on Tuesday night and, more importantly, will he score more than 30.5 points? Jon Metler shares his NBA best bets for Tuesday's schedule using the best NBA odds.
Thanks to the National Championship, we had no NBA games to bet on on Monday, but we're finally back with some NBA bets on Tuesday. The only reason I'm forgiving the NBA schedule makers is because they packed the slate on Tuesday so there will be plenty of bets to place.
After gaining 19.76 units over the last three weeks in our NBA best bets article, I'm looking forward to wrapping up the regular season on a high note.

Tuesday's NBA best bets
- Player Prop: Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 30.5 points vs. Wizards (-113 via FanDuel) ????
Tuesday's NBA player prop picks
This player prop for Antetokounmpo is clearly headed to 31.5 or 32.5 points, but we're able to buy it at 30.5 points (-113), thanks to FanDuel. I'm confident that this prop will not be available at this price right before tip-off, so I wouldn't hesitate to secure it at this price as soon as possible.
There's always the possibility that Antetokounmpo could wind up sitting out the fourth quarter if the game results in a blowout against the Washington Wizards, which may discourage many bettors from placing a bet on this prop.
Instead of worrying about that narrative, I'm going to roll with the math and projections that have Antetokounmpo scoring 33.4 points on Tuesday. This projection allows me to price Antetokou nmpo at -150 to score over 30.5 points.
Perhaps a little price shopping coupled with a rogue line via FanDuel would be more convincing than the projection alone. DraftKings opened Antetokounmpo at Over 30.5 points (-120) and has already adjusted the juice on the Over to -135. The -113 we're buying at FanDuel is both better than DraftKings' original line and an indication of where the price of this prop will be as the day progresses.
