Giannis Antetokounmpo Odds: Which Team Will He Play For Next?

When Giannis Antetokounmpo’s star rose a few years ago, there was immediate speculation as to how soon he’d leave the Milwaukee Bucks, a small-market team, for a team in one of the larger NBA markets. He said all the right things at the time, but it has not become apparent that he wants out.

But just because he wants out does not mean he’ll get traded (something to keep in mind as you decide how you want to bet). Let’s take a look at the latest odds:

• Milwaukee Bucks +110
• Chicago Bulls +275
• Golden State Warriors +350
• Miami Heat +700
• New York Knicks +900
• Atlanta Hawks +1700
• Minnesota Timberwolves +2000
• Toronto Raptors +2200
• Philadelphia 76ers +2500
• Portland Trail Blazers +3000

It is important to keep in mind just how DraftKings has worded the market: Next Regular Season Minute Played After Trade Deadline (2/5/2026) to be for Which NBA Team? [2025-26 only].

Antetokounmpo is not due back from his current injury until Feb. 20, long after the trade deadline has passed. It is not necessarily just who he’ll be traded to, or whether he gets traded at all. It’s about who he plays for next. However, with how it's worded, it looks like he has to play for someone this season for a bet to cash.

But a player of his caliber can turn any team with a decent talent base from a pretender into an immediate contender. For teams already considered contenders, he could make them elite, the difference maker that gets them to the NBA Finals and not just the conference finals.

But, if the Bucks don’t get an offer they like, he will not go anywhere. Knowing all too well the impact he’ll have, the price tag will undoubtedly not be cheap.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Next Team Odds: Our Prediction

The problem with this is knowing who or what to trust. Speculation has always run rampant regarding Antetokounmpo, even when he said he had no interest in leaving Milwaukee and exploring other options. But now that he has expressed that interest.

Despite the rumors, what he may or may not have said, and all the speculation that has taken over the internet, taking the Milwaukee Bucks is a solid wager. His actual displeasure may not be as bad as reports have made it seem and even if it is, if no one makes an offer the Bucks are willing to accept …

Since the Bucks' odds are +110, you’ll double your money if he ends up staying in Milwaukee.

The Warriors make the most sense as the pick for Antetokounmpo

However, when a player of his caliber becomes available, any and every team on the fringe or even in the thick of the hunt is interested. Whether they have the assets needed to make an enticing offer is another thing. As for who may pull the trigger and make a deal happen, the following is our top pick:

• Golden State Warriors +350

A lot of reports seem to be focused on the Warriors, who have made an offer that the Bucks have not declined. It sounds like Milwaukee will take its time making a decision, probably to see if anything better comes in. But from everything that is readily available, this looks like a good bet.

And if it happens, I’m putting money on the Warriors to win the NBA Championship next season ASAP. Steph Curry, a healthy Jimmy Butler, and Giannis Antetokounmpo? Heck, they’ll be a solid value play this season.

What About The Bulls?

If you’re thinking about the Bulls since their odds have gone from long to second shortest next to the Bucks, forget about it. The dip in the odds has nothing to do with any known interest from the Bulls or even a juicy rumor or two. DraftKings took a series of bets on Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Bulls that prompted the sportsbook to shift his odds to where they now stand.

If you believe this bettor knows something the rest of us do not, go for it. But if you are looking for evidence, I couldn’t find any.
