Bucks at Wizards picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 129, Wizards 114

Moneyline

PASS.

Taking a road favorite at -450 makes no sense, but neither does backing one of the worst teams in the Eastern Conference against a title contender like Milwaukee.

Against the spread

BET BUCKS -9.5 (-110).

The Bucks have been mowing over teams as of late, covering 2 straight games, winning them by 16 in Toronto and 31 in Charlotte.

The opposite can be said of Washington. It is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games and was an underdog in 3 of those. The Wizards are 1-4 ATS over their last 5 games and are just 5-7 ATS on the season.

Considering both teams, take BUCKS -9.5 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 245.5 (-110).

The Wizards are 2-3 O/U over their last 5 games. Their offense has often stalled and have scored 107 or fewer in 3 of their last 4. Washington doesn't have many elite and efficient scoring options.

The Bucks are 2-3 O/U over their last 5 games as well and have scored over 130 just once. They may need to dominate offensively to hit this total. Milwaukee has allowed under 115 points in 4 of their last 5 games.

Both teams rank high in pace, but this total is just too high to consider backing the Over. Take UNDER 245.5 (-110).
