The Memphis Grizzlies and Milwaukee Bucks headline Sunday’s five-game NBA slate.
The pregame narrative: I’m having a hard time picking a side between these two so I’ll take three player props in this SGP instead. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Desmond Bane and Luke Kennard are featured in this +375 ticket.
Check out my Grizzlies vs. Bucks same-game parlay predictions for Feb. 2.

Go to full NBA betting markets
Parlay: Antetokounmpo over 31.5 points + Bane over 21.5 points + Kennard over 12.5 points (+375)
Antetokounmpo over 31.5 points (-159): Giannis is listed as probable on the NBA injury report so I’m expecting him to play.
The ‘Greek Freak’ is firing on all cylinders right now, finishing seven of the last nine games with 32-plus points.
He’s averaging 33.1 points and shooting an other-worldly 63.8% from the field during that time.
The total for this game is the highest of the day, being set at 247 points. Memphis plays at the fastest pace in the league (103.7 possessions/game) which leads to inflated scores.
If this game finishes anywhere close to that lofty total, Giannis should see more than enough volume to clear this hefty total.
Other SGP legs
Bane over 21.5 points (-141): In my NBA props bets today, I took Bane to go over 28.5 points/assists but I’ll resort to this line for an SGP.
The Milwaukee Bucks allow the second-most points to opposing point guards (26.4), and with Morant trending towards missing his second straight game, PG would be the position Bane takes on.
And the guard has been on a tear since Dec. 21:
- 21.4 PPG
- 53.4 FG%
- 43.8 3PT%
In his last game without Morant, Bane scored 24 points on 11-of-24 shooting. It was a below-average shooting night and he still managed to cash this wager.
Kennard over 12.5 points (-141): Kennard has seen success starting in Morant’s absence.
In his three starts since Jan. 17, Kennard is averaging:
- 22.0 PPG
- 65.7 FG%
- 63.2 3PT%
He may not be able to match that production against the Bucks, but he doesn’t have to.
This line is well within Kennard’s reach even with an average shooting night with more minutes and an uptick in volume.
