Wizards at Bucks picks and predictions
Prediction
Bucks 121, Wizards 108
PASS.
There’s no reasonable moneyline wager. The Bucks (-550) should win with ease but are too pricey to consider.
BET BUCKS -10.5 (-110).
Antetokounmpo returned from a 3 1/2-week injury absence Saturday. The Bucks won that game by 9 over the Bulls in Chicago and in the two games Antetokounmpo has played, he’s averaging 26.5 points. Milwaukee is a different team with him on the court, easily covering ATS in both games.
The Wizards have struggled, especially on the offensive end. They have scored 113 points or fewer in 4 of their last 7 games while allowing at least 115 points in 6 of those contests. Expect them to struggle against the Bucks’ length with the Greek Freak active.
Take BUCKS -10.5 (-110).
BET UNDER 232.5 (-110).
The Bucks are 1-6-1 O/U in their last 8 performances, scoring more than 116 points just once. Their defense has stepped up recently as well, allowing 103 or fewer in 3 of their last 5 games.
While the Wizards’ defense is porous, they have given up 117 or fewer points in 3 straight games the Under has hit in back-to-back games. Given those trends, take UNDER 232.5 (-110).
