Spurs at Bucks picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 129, Spurs 123

Moneyline

PASS.

Milwaukee should pick up the win here, but is far too heavy of a favorite (-2000) to risk betting on. Bet on the spread and/or O/U instead.

Against the spread

LEAN SPURS +16.5 (-110).

San Antonio is 8-2 ATS in its last 10 meetings with Milwaukee and is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 meetings when visiting Milwaukee. The Bucks still have yet to find a defensive identity, and that weakness will help the Spurs keep this game close enough to cover the spread.

This is a risky bet as neither team has been very good ATS this season and the recent ATS numbers are very similar for both squads.

Over/Under

BET OVER 249.5 (-110).

The Over has been dominant for both teams this year -- 17-8 for the Spurs and 18-8 for the Bucks. The Over is also 7-3 in the last 10 San Antonio-Milwaukee matchups overall. The Over has hit in each of San Antonio's last 3 games overall and has hit in 4 consecutive games for the Bucks.
