Thanasis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks has been living in the shadow of his brother Giannis Antetokounmpo on the roster. It is very possible that Milwaukee will trade Thanasis by the Thursday, February 8 NBA trade deadline.
They are going to make some moves before the deadline possibly even though they are 31-13 this season and have the second-best record in the Eastern Conference. Bovada Official listed the betting odds recently for teams that can very well land Antetokounmpo.
Antetokounmpo this season has appeared in 18 games this season for Milwaukee. He is averaging 0.8 PPG, 0.4 RPG, 0.5 APG, 0.2 BPG, and 0.1 SPG this season. It appears as if the Bucks don’t want to use a roster spot on him much longer and they can pivot elsewhere to make upgrades, especially on the defensive end of the floor.
The New York Knicks are the Betting Favorites To Trade For Thanasis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks
According to Bovoda Official, Thanasis Antetokounmpo is favored to be traded to the New York Knicks by the NBA trade deadline and New York has +150 odds to land him. Remember when there were all of these talks this offseason for the Knicks to land Giannis Antetokounmpo via trade? Well, Pepperidge Farms remembers that!
That would be so disappointing for Knicks fans that they are getting the brother who sits on the back end of the bench rather than the superstar NBA player. New York has made moves already this season. They acquired OG Anounby from the Toronto Raptors and traded away R.J. Barrett and Immanuel Quickley.
The Knicks are also looking to trade away Quinten Grimes and it is very possible that the Milwaukee Bucks and Knicks could swap Grimes for Antetokounmpo. New York is also a primary contender in the Eastern Conference, as they have a 27-17 record and are seeded fifth in the East.
Other than the New York Knicks, the Brooklyn Nets have +250 odds to land him via trade, and the Washington Wizards, the Los Angeles Clippers, the Portland Trail Blazers, and the Utah Jazz have +550 odds to land Antetokounmpo via trade. It will be interesting to see what the Bucks decide to do with him before the NBA trade deadline.

Just a little tweak of a slyest little sly of a trick to get Giannis in a knicks uniform with his brother.
