NBA betting: Trae Young and Giannis Antetokounmpo set to feast

Trae Young, pictured here in action for the Atlanta Hawks in the NBA.

Disappointing to finish yesterday going 2-3, missing the Eubanks line by one rebound and somehow the Heat choking away a game to the 76ers.

But, we look at Wednesday’s action now to see what is there.

Atlanta Hawks @ New York Knicks

Without Julius Randle, things are going to be tougher for New York.

But you could mount an argument that without his offensive style, things may move a little freer.

But, I still think Trae Young will have the measure of the Knicks in New York and be able to cover the 3.0 point spread.

With Randle out, RJ Barrett may be able to grab some more boards and the total line for his rebounds is modestly set at 6.5. On Sportsbet, going over that is paying $1.80.

Best bet: Handicap betting - Hawks -3

Best bet: Player rebounds - Barrett over 6.5

Chicago Bulls @ Milwaukee Bucks

The Bucks are without Khris Middleton, but they regain Giannis Antetokounmpo.

I am also highly sceptical that Zach LaVine suits up for Chicago, tipping the scales heavily in Milwaukee’s favour.

The Bucks are 7.5 point favourites and they should cover.

Best bet: Handicap betting - Bucks -7.5

Golden State Warriors @ Orlando Magic

Cole Anthony hasn’t had his shot working, but he has still been getting assists, totalling seven in each of the last three games.

So when his line is at 5.5 and the over is priced up at $2.18, I am interested.

Best bet: Player assists - Anthony over 5.5
