Prediction
Bucks 115, Warriors 98
Moneyline (ML)
As you would expect, the Bucks (-1000) are monster moneyline favorites. They have won 17 of their last 20 games as they have proven to be one of the most consistent teams in the NBA from night-to-night. Golden State, on the other hand, has lost five straight games and is on pace to be one of the worst teams in the NBA. Expect the Warriors to add another loss tonight, but PASS on the moneyline odds for the Bucks with a $10 bet returning a profit of just $1.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The BUCKS (-13.5, -106) are double-digit favorites over the Warriors and that still doesn’t feel like enough points. Golden State currently has one of the worst offenses in the NBA, along with a bottom-ranked defense. While anything can happen on a given night, it doesn’t look like the Warriors have the personnel to stop anyone in the Bucks offense. I like Milwaukee to cover the spread rather easily, despite being on the road.
Over/Under (O/U)
The total for this matchup is set at 218.5 points, but that feels too high considering how inconsistent the Warriors offense has been this season. The Bucks should have no problem reaching 110 or more points, but the Warriors could struggle to cross the century mark. I like the UNDER 218.5 (-106) to hit at Chase Center.
