Anthony Davis Player Prop Pick: OVER 21.5 Points (-105) vs Milwaukee Bucks

Anthony Davis was heavily involved in his three preseason games with the Washington Wizards where he set usage rates of 24.9%, 30.1% and 33.2%.

Now AJ Dybantsa has been ruled out due to an ankle injury and he owned the 2nd highest usage rate throughout the preseason among Wizards starters.

The Milwaukee Bucks were one of the NBAs worst defenses in 2025 and now they will be even weaker without Giannis Antetokounmpo. Washington head coach Taylor Jenkins also plans on playing at faster pace in his first year as head coach of the Bucks.

The Wizards will also play at a quicker pace than Davis is accustomed to and with Trae Young acting as a facilitator AD should see plenty of easy buckets. In games with 30-36 minutes played and a 23%+ usage rate, AD has averaged 26.1 points per game while clearing this line in 86% of his games.

Day’Ron Sharpe Player Prop Pick: OVER 13.5 Points + Assists (-120) vs Charlotte Hornets

The Brooklyn Nets have parter ways with Nic Claxton so now Day’Ron Sharpe gets a chance at being the consistent starting center.

Julius Randle was added to the mix, but Sharpe should still see more opportunities and when he played 25+ minutes he covered this line in 5/7 games while averaging 17.1 PA per game.

In Sharpe’s final preseason game, he recorded 15 PA despite playing only 17 minutes while dealing with foul trouble. The matchup is solid as the Charlotte Hornets were a middle of the pack interior defense during the 2025-26 campaign.

Sharpe finished with 14 and 9 PA in two head-to-head games against the Hornets despite playing only 14 and 15 minutes.
