NBA Player Prop #1: Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 31.5 Points (-115)
Giannis Antetokounmpo has once again been among the most dominant players in the NBA. The Milwaukee Bucks star is currently second in the league in scoring, averaging 31.1 points per game while shooting 53.0% from the field. Antetokounmpo has scored at least 32 points in 11 of his 23 games played this season, including seven of his past 11 games.
With Jrue Holiday, who is second for the Bucks in both points per game and field goal attempts, set to miss Thursday's game, Giannis should have even more touches. Look for the two-time MVP to take advantage as he finishes with at least 32 points for the 12th time this season.

NBA Player Prop #2: Zion Wiliamson Over 27.5 Points (-111)
Zion Williamson is having a great season after missing the entire 2021-2022 season. The New Orleans Pelicans star is currently averaging 25.0 points per game while shooting 61.0% from the field. While Zion has scored at least 28 points in just eight of his 22 games played this season, six of those games have come within his last ten games played.
Over that stretch, Williamson has averaged 28.2 points per game while shooting 66.5% from the field. Facing a poor Utah Jazz defense without Brandon Ingram, who is also the Pelicans' second-leading scorer, Williamson should have plenty of opportunities to continue his strong play. Look for Zion to finish with at least 28 points.

NBA Player Prop #3: Ja Morant Over 35.5 Points + Assists (-115)
Ja Morant is currently ranked ninth in the NBA in scoring and fifth in assists, averaging 27.7 points per game and 7.8 assists per game while shooting 45.8% from the field, 35.5% from three-point range, and 74.2% from the free-throw line.
The Memphis Grizzlies star has finished 12 of his 22 games played with at least 36 combined points and assists.
After sitting out the Grizzlies' most recent game, Morant should be well rested. Look for him to have a big night as he finishes with at least 36 combined points and assists.
