Bucks at Spurs picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 127, Spurs 114

Moneyline

PASS.

The Bucks are far better and should have the size to neutralize Wembanyama. However, at -420, there's no value in backing them to win outright.

Against the spread

BET BUCKS -9 (-110).

Milwaukee has covered in 3 of its last 5 road games. It is one of the only teams in the NBA that can match the size of No. 1 overall pick Wembanyama. Milwaukee has lost 3 of its last 5, but has won 9 of its last 12, so this slow streak isn't too concerning.

The Spurs have failed to cover 5 of their last 7 and have failed to cover 3 straight on the road. Against one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference, expect them to struggle.

Take BUCKS -9 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 249.5 (-110).

This total is just too high for an offense like San Antonio. The Spurs play at a fast pace but rank 29th in offensive rating. They have gone Under in 3 of their last 4 games, scoring 101 or fewer in 2 straight.

The Bucks have gone Under in 2 of their last 3 and in 4 of their last 7. Being on the 2nd night of a road back-to-back, Milwaukee may come out slower too.

Back UNDER 249.5 (-110).
