Prediction
Bucks 126, Spurs 111
Moneyline (ML)
The Bucks (-334) will cost you over three times your investment, which is twice as much as I am comfortable laying. My limit is always -160 to -170 at the most. AVOID.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The BUCKS (-6.5, -121) are a tremendous bet on Monday night, assuming the visitors do not elect to rest Antetokounmpo, which is always possible. If he plays, this is a slam-dunk play, literally.
The Bucks are 5-1 ATS in the past six road games, and 13-5 ATS in the previous 18 games overall. They’re also 13-5 ATS in the past 18 games as a favorite, too, while going 5-1 ATS in the past six as a road favorite. The Spurs, on the other hand, are a dismal 7-20 ATS in the past 27 games at home, and 1-5 ATS in the past six tries at home against teams with a winning road mark.
Over/Under (O/U)
A few years ago an OVER 227.5 (-129) total would have been unheard of, but defense is dead in the NBA. It’s all offense, all the time. The Bucks are better at offense than anyone, too, averaging 119.6 points per game while also leading the NBA with a 48.3 field-goal percentage. Conversely, the Spurs are seventh in the NBA in points scored (113.2), and 25th in points allowed (115.1).
