1u – Giannis Antetokounmpo (MIL) o9.5 1Q Points (-125 @ ESPN)

 

Giannis is questionable for this one but if he gives it a go he should absolutely feast. He finds himself against Charlotte who shouldn’t have a single person who can stop him. Charlotte allows the 10th most points to PF’s and Giannis is the best the position has to offer. Last time against Charlotte he scored 11 points in the opening quarter. Giannis has hit this in 7 of his last 8 games with his only miss being his most recent. I don’t expect him to go 7 straight and then miss two in a row. Charlotte is an undersized unit who can’t keep up with the physicality that Giannis offers. This game has blowout concern so I absolutely love the 1Q look here. Lets do this!
