If Giannis was in the middle of a tear, this line would surely be above his season average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-479767b6-5872-497b-ac44-239c07c7e3d5\"><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: Antetokoumpo scored 32-plus in five of his past seven games against Sacramento, dating back to 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best NBA picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Daniels over 4.5 assists (-130)<\/strong>: The third-year guard has stepped up his game as a playmaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During nine games in March, Daniels averaged 5.9 assists and is 7-2 against this line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Atlanta Hawks play at the second-fastest pace in the NBA (102.1) and their opponent, the Golden State Warriors, rank near the middle of the pack, so there should be lots of shot chucking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Daniels is averaging 11.0 potential assists per game this month. I think there&#8217;s great value on this prop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Towns over 40.5 points\/rebounds assists (-120)<\/strong>: Towns played a back-to-back against the Washington Wizards earlier this season and put up monstrous numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dec. 28 @ Washington: 30 points, 14 rebounds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dec. 30 @ Washington: 32 points, 13 rebounds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s an average of 44.5 points\/rebounds. The Wizards provide a great matchup so I expect Towns to stuff the statsheet again on Saturday. Washington allows the most PR to centres per game (42.92).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jalen Brunson remains out for the New York Knicks, meaning the big man will need to carry an even greater offensive burden than usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this game stays close for at least three quarters, I feel good about KAT&#8217;s chances of reaching this total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-84329f2b-7888-4034-9979-03e8608897e5\"><em>NBA prop picks made at 12:57 p.m. ET on 03\/22\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Giannis Antetokounmpo headlines Saturday&#8217;s NBA prop bets.
