With Giannis Antetokounmpo potentially playing his final game with the Bucks, Griffin Wong breaks down his top player prop bets for Thursday's game between Milwaukee and the Washington Wizards. The Bucks are 2.5-point favorites, and the game will be nationally televised on Amazon Prime.

Why it matters

This game carries extra significance with the ongoing Giannis Antetokounmpo trade saga, as the Bucks superstar may have played his last game with the franchise. The Wizards, meanwhile, have made a big move to acquire the injured Trae Young, so this matchup features two teams in transition.

The details

Without Antetokounmpo, the Bucks' defense has struggled mightily, allowing 119.0 points per 100 possessions in his 15-game absence. This should benefit Wizards big man Alex Sarr, who is coming off a 29-point, 12-rebound performance. Bucks guard Jevon Rollins has also stepped up in Antetokounmpo's absence, averaging 16.3 points, 5.4 assists, and 1.5 steals per game. Rookie Tre Johnson has been a bright spot for the Wizards, knocking down 3+ threes in 6 of his last 8 games.

  • The game will tip off at 7 p.m. ET on Thursday, January 29, 2026.

The players

Alex Sarr

The Wizards' second overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, Sarr has blossomed into a star this season, averaging 17.7 points and 7.5 rebounds per game.
