Best Bucks-Trail Blazers NBA Player Prop | Drew Eubanks
Drew Eubanks Prop O/U 0.5 3-Pointers
This play is probably my weirdest of the NBA season so far, but at odds of +540, we’ve got to take a swing at it. Eubanks, a journeyman center, is in his second season with the Portland Trail Blazers. He backed up Jakob Poeltl in San Antonio before arriving in Oregon. Eubanks has made a total of 11 3-pointers in his NBA career. However, he just might get his 12th tonight.
The Bucks should leave Eubanks open at the top of the key at least once or twice. That’s what they have done with opposing big men all year — Milwaukee has allowed the fourth-most 3-pointers per game to both centers (1.1) and power forwards (2.6). They have also allowed the seventh-most above-the-break 3’s per game (9.4). One of Eubanks’ earlier 11 3-pointers even came against the frontcourt combination of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Brook Lopez.

Eubanks enters Monday’s action with a probable designation due to a back injury. That ailment may lead him to drive less often and to play away from the rim a bit more, potentially leaving him open on the perimeter. He picked up the injury designation after Portland’s last game in which he also attempted a 3-pointer.
While Eubanks’ low volume should concern you, the implied odds of this line at DraftKings Sportsbook (15.6%) are low enough for this play to offer a positive return on investment if Eubanks sinks a triple just 16% of the time. Caesars has posted a line with much higher implied odds (18.3%). However, Eubanks has made a 3-pointer in 20% of his matchups against Giannis Antetokounmpo. Bettors should head to DraftKings for the best price on the market — but only wager a quarter unit on this one.
