Analysis for Bucks vs Thunder Player Prop Bets

As part of my analysis for the Bucks vs Thunder player prop bet predictions, I used the Rithmm app to analyze the last 5 total games, the last 5 away games, and the analysis of the teams to get a sense of the trends and how the player has been performing. This approach allows me to dissect the line and makes a more confident decision on placing a bet.

Research and Last 5 Games Hit Rate for Bucks vs Thunder Player Props

The NBA Cup has been a success since it was introduced last year. We have been able to watch competitive, intense NBA basketball in December and that will always be seen as a positive. The championship kicks off tonight between the Bucks and the Thunder on a neutral site in Las Vegas. The Thunder have been one of the best teams all year long with their young superstar, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, leading the way. On the other side, the Bucks started the season off slow but with Giannis Antetokounmpo finding his stride, the Bucks have righted the ship. The Thunder come into this matchup at 20-5 and the Bucks are 14-11. 

I will be focusing on the over/under for total threes made for Antetokounmpo. Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the preeminent players in the league. He is a powerful force who can handle the ball and facilitate. With that said, one of his few weaknesses is his three-point shooting. For his career, he is a 28.5 percent shooter on 2.3 attempts per game. Through 25 games this year, he is shooting 17.6 percent from three but on just 0.7 attempts per game. The 0.7 attempts is the lowest in his career with the exception of 0.5 attempts in 2014-2015. Even more notably, he hasn’t made a three in his last seven games and just one made three in his last 12 games. He has clearly strayed away from shooting them and instead, attacking the paint. 

On the other side, the Thunder are one of the best defensive teams in the league. Through the first 25 games of the season, they are the number one defensive rating team in the league with a 103.7 defensive rating. They allow their opponent to shoot just 42.4 percent from the field which is the lowest in the league and 33.1 percent from three which is also the lowest in the league. They force the most turnovers with 19.1 per game, creating less opportunities to score for their opponent. 

With Antetokounmpo staying away from threes and the great defense from the Thunder, it’s an interesting prop to look at. In the first screenshot, I reviewed the hit rate for both "Over" and "Under" for Antetokounmpo’s last 5 games. This data gives us a good sense on how consistently a player meets or exceeds their prop lines in this Bucks vs Thunder player prop prediction. In the screenshot, it is clear that Giannis has hit that under five out of the last five games. In those last five games, he did not hit a single three pointer. 

Last 5 Away Games Hit Rate for Bucks vs Thunder Player Props

Next, I focused on how Giannis Antetokounmpo has performed in away games. Although this is a neutral site, this can be seen as an away game for these purposes because it’s away from his Milwaukee home. In the last five away games, it has been much of the same. He has hit the under all five times and did not hit even a single three pointer. 

Bucks vs Thunder AI Player Prop Predictions

Based on all the gathered data and trends, my AI model has generated specific predictions for the Milwaukee Bucks vs Oklahoma City Thunder player props. The final screenshot shows what the model predicts and recommends for the Giannis Antetokounmpo total made three pointers player prop. The Rithmm app predicts that he will be at 0.1 made three pointers for this game. 

With my own analysis and the Rithmm model predicting that Antetokounmpo getting just 0.1 made threes, I am taking Giannis Antetokounmpo UNDER on the total three pointers made of 0.5.
