Over/Under Pick: Over 232½ (-110)
Two of the top four scoring teams in the NBA squaring off should lead to a high-scoring contest it stands to reason. Oklahoma City (120.7 points per game) and Milwaukee (120.6) rank third and fourth, respectively, in the league in scoring, and neither is particularly good defensively, with the Thunder the better of the two, allowing 112.9 points per outing.
What makes this a best bet NBA wager is the presence of two of the better individual scorers as well in Oklahoma City guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (30.8 points per game) and Milwaukee forward Giannias Antetokounmpo (30.7), who are second and third in the NBA in scoring. Both will be looking to have big games in this high-profile showdown, making this an easy pick for the over.

ATS Pick: Bucks -2½ (-110)
This is going to be a battle throughout, but we like the Bucks to pull out the victory at home. Milwaukee is 28-7 at home this season and should be at full strength, with forward Khris Middleton listed as probable.
The Thunder are 21-13 away from home. We like Oklahoma City to keep this one close throughout, but when you make your NBA picks on this game, take the home team to come out on top and cover the spread.
Here’s a look at some NBA Lines and NBA Game Odds to consider!
Prop Pick: Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 48 Pts+Rbs+Ast (-110)
Antetokounmpo, the two-time NBA MVP, knows about the talk of Gilgeous-Alexander being an MVP contender this season. While it’s not his main motivation, Antetokounmpo is known for coming up with big performances against fellow award contenders, so we expect him to try to make a statement. This is one of the best NBA bets tonight among props, and it’s one you should make, as Antetokounmpo has a great all-around game in a Milwaukee win.
