Welcome back gang! It has been awhile since my last article for you guys, but we are back and I am backing the MVP, Giannis to crush his over 16.5 R + A prop.

Giannis just continues to put up MVP like numbers, year in and year out. So far this season, Giannis has a 38.2% usage rate and averaging 30/12/5.5. The biggest issue has been blowouts. The 76ers are actually 1 points favorites in Philly tonight and Giannis has crushed when he has gotten full run. He has hit this number in his last 5 games that he has played 33 minutes in, averaging 14.4 rebounds and 7.4 assists. 

Matchup: Giannis's numbers against the 76ers are what you would expect for a superstar against a rival. Last year in 3 games, averaged 13.7 and 6.3 assists. In 2021, 15 rebounds and 6 assists averaged in 3 games. Lastly, without Holiday Giannis has been a great facilitator. 34.5 percent assist percentage in the two games without Holiday, and even if he does play, it should be in a limited capacity. Close spread, injuries and a rivalry game, all adds up to some big time numbers for the 2 time MVP of the league!
