The Milwaukee Bucks will open the 2025-26 NBA season against the lowly Washington Wizards at Fiserv Forum on Wednesday.
The Bucks are massive favorites in this matchup at -350 on DraftKings, but you could win a decent amount of cash if you bet on Giannis Antetokounmpo to put up a monster statistical line on opening night.
Right now, the Bucks superstar is valued at a generous +152 on a 55+ player combo prop (points + rebounds + assists). That’s a payout of $252 on a $100 bet if Giannis accumulates more than 55 statistical points from combined points, rebounds, and assists.
Current Form:
The Bucks begin another title hunt this week, featuring a more loaded frontline than they had in the previous season. Milwaukee is about to unleash its new Big 3 of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kyle Kuzma, and new center Myles Turner, parading a long but versatile starting bigs for this Eastern Conference contender. The Bucks wrapped up their preseason with a 3-1 record. They picked up wins over Miami 103-93, Detroit 117-111 and Chicago 127-121 before losing to the defending NBA champion, the OKC Thunder 112-116, in the finale.
The Wizards finished with a 1-2 record in their preseason schedule, with their lone win of the exhibitions coming against the New York Knicks. Not much is expected from Washington this year. The 2025-26 season will continue to be a rebuilding year for the Wizards, who will be bannered by veterans Khris Middleton, CJ McCollum, and former No.2 overall pick Alex Sarr.

Our Milwaukee Bucks vs Washington Wizards Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Giannis Antetokounmpo will pump up a monster stats line in the Bucks’ opening night win over the Wizards. Antetokounmpo was on a tear during the 2025 FIBA EuroBasket, where he single-handedly powered Greece to the semifinals. Giannis averaged 26.8 points and 9.5 rebounds in that tournament, proving that the Greek Freak is still an unstoppable force entering his 13th NBA season. As for Washington, this team doesn’t have the personnel to match up with Giannis' size, speed, and strength. Sarr is still too raw and thin to go toe-to-toe with Antetokounmpo at this stage of his career. Moreover, Giannis is also looking to make a statement right away, trying to silence the critics who believe the Bucks are top-tier contenders this season.
Our betting prediction for the Milwaukee Bucks vs. the Washington Wizards: Giannis Antetokounmpo 55+ (points + rebounds + assists).
