Cavaliers at Bucks picks and predictions

Prediction

Cavaliers 125, Bucks 115

Moneyline

PASS.

The Cavs (-375) are the much better team and have won 4 straight against Milwaukee, so they will have no problem picking up the win. However, Cleveland is not worth the risk of betting on as such a heavy favorite, so PASS, and bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN CAVALIERS -9.5 (-105).

Cleveland has covered the spread in 5 of its last 6 road games and 3 of the last 4 meetings.

Cleveland has been the much better team ATS this season, sitting at 40-22-1 ATS, while Milwaukee is just 30-32-1 ATS on the year.

This is a very slight lean, as Milwaukee is always dangerous with Antetokounmpo and Lillard, and it is 7-2-1 ATS in its last 10 games.

Over/Under

BET OVER 238.5 (-105).

The Over has hit in Milwaukee’s last 4 games overall and is 3-1 in its last 4 at home. For Cleveland, the Over is 5-3 in its last 8 games and 41-22 on the season. The Over has also hit in the last 2 meetings.

Mavericks at Bucks picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 118, Mavericks 103

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the Bucks (-475) to win their fourth straight at home vs. the short-handed Mavericks.

Against the spread

BET BUCKS -10.5 (-105).

The Bucks are 7-2-1 ATS over their last 10 games. They have covered 3 straight overall and 3 in a row at home. They face a Mavericks team that has failed to cover 4 of its last 5 games and just lost Irving to a season-ending knee injury. The Mavs have lost back-to-back games by 15 or more points, including a 15-point home loss against the Bucks Saturday.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 222.5 (-110).

The Mavs have hit the Under in 7 of their last 10 games, including 5 of their last 6. They have scored 103 or fewer points in 4 of their last 5 games. Without Irving’s 24.7 points per game, the Mavs will be unable to compete offensively.

The Bucks have allowed 113 or fewer points in 6 of their last 8 games, going 3-5 O/U.

76ers at Bucks picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 117, Bucks 113

Moneyline

The Bucks beat the 76ers 124-109 in Philadelphia on Oct. 24 and 123-109 in Milwaukee on Jan. 19. Antetokounmpo played in both matchups, while Embiid did not.

The Bucks are 4-5 when Anttekounmpo does not play. Of the 76ers’ 31 losses, 24 came when Embiid has not played.

The Bucks have a 6-game winning streak against the Sixers.

Today the streak ends.

BET 76ERS (-120).

Against the spread

With only a 1.5-point spread and very similar odds to the moneyline, you could protect yourself against a 1-point loss where they still cover the spread, but the Sixers have not had a 1-point loss this season.

Six of their last 9 covers have been outright wins while 12 of the Bucks’ last 14 ATS losses have been outright losses.

PASS on the spread.

Over/Under

The totals in their 2 previous meetings were 233 and 234. Four of the Sixers’ last 5 games have surpassed 227 total points while the Bucks’ last 3 games have not reached 228, but 6 of 7 games before that did.

BET OVER 228.5 (-110).

Milwaukee Bucks at Atlanta Hawks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Milwaukee Bucks at Atlanta Hawks odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Milwaukee Bucks (27-22) pay a visit to the Atlanta Hawks (23-28) Friday. Tip-off from State Farm Arena is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA odds around the Bucks vs. Hawks odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 1-1

Milwaukee beat the Charlotte Hornets 112-102 Wednesday as a 10.5-point underdog. G Damian Lillard led the Bucks with 29 points in the absence of F Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf). The win ended a 4-game losing streak for Milwaukee.

As of 9:35 a.m. ET, there has been no announcement as to when newly acquired F Kyle Kuzma could make his Bucks debut.

Atlanta suffered a 126-125 loss vs. the San Antonio Spurs Wednesday while covering as a 4-point underdog. G Trae Young put up 32 points and 12 assists, but he also had 9 turnovers. Newly acquired Hawks G Caris LeVert, G Terance Mann and F Georges Niang are all questionable for Friday, while G Bones Hyland is listed as “out.”

Bucks at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 117, Hawks 112

Moneyline

PASS.

The Bucks are more talented than the shorthanded Hawks, even if Antetokounmpo and Kuzma both sit. So, Milwaukee (-275) will cash, but it’s not worth the risk of betting on as such a heavy favorite. PASS, and bet the spread and/or O/U instead.

Against the spread

LEAN HAWKS +6.5 (-105).

Atlanta has covered 3 consecutive games and is 5-1 ATS in its last 6, while the Bucks have dropped 5 straight ATS.

This bet depends heavily on the health of Milwaukee and whether or not Kuzma is available to play.

With both teams being terrible ATS this year — 22-27-1 for Milwaukee and 23-28 for Atlanta — neither of these bets is necessarily safe.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 242.5 (-110).

The Under has hit in back-to-back games overall for Milwaukee and is 2-1 in Atlanta’s last 3 at home. The Under has also hit in 2 straight head-to-head meetings and is 4-2 in the last 6.

A total set this high, especially when both teams have so many questionable players, is ridiculous and will more than likely go Under.

Milwaukee Bucks at Charlotte Hornets odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Milwaukee Bucks at Charlotte Hornets odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Milwaukee Bucks (26-22) face the Charlotte Hornets (12-35) Wednesday. Tip-off from Spectrum Center is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA odds around the Bucks vs. Hornets odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 1-1; Hornets won 115-114 at home Nov. 16; Bucks won 125-119 at home Nov. 23

The Bucks punted Monday on a back end of a back-to-back with a 125-96 loss at the Oklahoma City Thunder. F Giannis Antetokounmpo, G Damian Lillard and most of their starters sat out. G Ryan Rollins led the team with 16 points. The Bucks have lost 4 straight and 5 of 6. The NBA Trade Deadline is approaching, and there could be some shakeups.

The Hornets have lost 5 straight at home after a 124-114 loss to the Washington Wizards Monday. The Hornets were 4.5-point favorites despite G LaMelo Ball sitting out. C Mark Williams had 23 points and 14 boards, and F Miles Bridges had a triple-double with 24 points, 10 boards and 10 dimes.

Bucks at Hornets and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 121, Hornets 104

Moneyline

The Bucks have played uninspiring ball of late, but they have enough to get this done. There’s no chance we’re risking -475 on it, though.

Instead, I’m going with MILES BRIDGES OVER 12.5 ASSISTS+REBOUNDS (-130). He has 20, 14, 15 and 14 of those over the last 4 games and is playing like a superstar right now.

Against the spread

I’m looking for a silver lining for Charlotte, but after they were just stung by the Wizards for double digits, I can’t suggest taking them on the spread here with Milwaukee expected to suit up its regulars.

Take the BUCKS -9.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The Hornets are 4-6 O/U in their last 10 games and the Bucks are 7-3. The Hornets slipped past the Bucks 115-114 at home Nov. 16, but Charlotte had its guys in, and Lillard was out. I look for Milwaukee to drop at least 120 points, and this OVER 222.5 (-115) to hit.

Season series: Grizzlies lead 1-0

The Grizzlies have won 7 of their last 8 games and are coming off a 120-119 home win over the Houston Rockets, failing to cover the 4-point spread as favorites.

Grizzlies at Bucks picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 123, Grizzlies 117

Moneyline

The Bucks are 16-7 at home this season and have a 6-game home winning streak.

The Grizzlies are 12-11 on the road and lost 143-106 to the New York Knicks in their last road game on Monday.

With Milwaukee mostly at full strength and Memphis likely missing Morant, Milwaukee adding to its home streak seems likely. But you get better value with the spread instead of the -155 ML odds here.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Bucks’ last 6 wins have been by at least 9 points. Of the Grizzlies’ 16 losses, 14 have been by more than 2 points.

BET BUCKS -3.5 (-105).

Over/Under

The Grizzlies have the league’s top-scoring offense, averaging 123.2 points pper game.

The Bucks have averaged 122.4 points in their last 9 games and 125.8 in their last 6 wins.

But the first meeting between the teams had only 221 points and only 2 of the Bucks’ wins this season have surpassed 246 total points.

BET UNDER 246.5 (-110).

Season series: Bucks lead 1-0

The Bucks are coming off a 125-112 loss at the Portland Trail Blazers Tuesday, failing to cover as 5.5-point favorites with the Over (232) hitting. G Damian Lillard had 20 points in his second trip to Portland since being traded from the Trail Blazers to the Bucks in September 2023. F Giannis Antetokounmpo led Milwaukee with 39 points and 12 rebounds.

The Spurs lost 128-116 to the visiting LA Clippers Wednesday. San Antonio failed to cover as a 3.5-point underdog, while the Over (222.5) cashed for a seventh straight Spurs game. C Victor Wembanyama scored 23 points and grabbed 12 rebounds for San Antonio, which has gone 1-5 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) in its last 6 games.

In a Jan. 8 meeting, Milwaukee covered as a 4.5-point home favorite with a 121-105 win over San Antonio as the Under (226.5) hit. Lillard had a game-high 26 points for the Bucks, while F Keldon Johnson led the Spurs with 24 points off the bench.

Bucks at Spurs picks and predictions

Prediction

Spurs 120, Bucks 119

Moneyline

Milwaukee is just 1-3 SU in its last 4 road games.

While SAN ANTONIO (+115) has lost 4 straight at home, it’s unlikely that trend continues, as the Spurs are still a respectable 12-11 SU at Frost Bank Center this season.

The Bucks have won the last 4 meetings, but this is a much improved Spurs team from seasons past. Look for San Antonio to get its revenge after losing in Milwaukee Jan. 8.

BET SPURS (+115).

Against the spread

There’s nothing wrong with taking the points in this spot, but the plus odds on Spurs ML are preferred.

PASS. Bet the ML and/or total instead.

Over/Under

The Spurs are on a 7-0 run to the Over, while the Over has hit in 8 of the Bucks’ last 10 games.

For the Over to hit Friday, the Spurs will likely need to score 116 or more points. San Antonio has scored 116-plus points in 2 of its last 3 games, while Milwaukee has allowed 125 or more points in 2 of its last 3.

BET OVER 234.5 (-115).

The Milwaukee Bucks (26-18) and Portland Trail Blazers (17-29) meet Tuesday. Tip-off from Moda Center is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (TNT / truTV / Max). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA odds around the Bucks vs. Trail Blazers odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Trail Blazers lead 1-0

The Bucks have gone 6-1 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) in their last 7 games. Milwaukee is on the second half of a back-to-back, coming off a 125-110 win at the Utah Jazz Monday. It covered as an 8.5-point favorite, and the Under (239.5) hit. F Giannis Antetokounmpo and G Damian Lillard each had 35 points for the Bucks, who led by as many as 24 in the third quarter.

The Trail Blazers have covered 5 straight games while going 4-1 SU. The one loss was a 118-108 setback vs. the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder Sunday. However, Portland covered as a 13.5-point underdog, while the total (226) ended in a push. F Deni Avdija led the Trail Blazers with 28 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists.

These teams met in Milwaukee Jan. 4, with the Trail Blazers upsetting the Bucks 105-102 as 11.5-point underdogs and the Under (228) cashing for the fourth straight head-to-head meeting. Trail Blazers G Anfernee Simons had a team-high 28 points, while Antetokounmpo led all scorers with 31.

Bucks at Trail Blazers picks and predictions

Prediction

Trail Blazers 111, Bucks 110

Moneyline

The Trail Blazers have won the last 2 meetings and are 4-1 SU in their last 5 overall. Taking a shot on Portland ML with Milwaukee on the second half of a back-to-back seems like a profitable bet at this price.

Bet a half-unit on TRAIL BLAZERS (+195).

Against the spread

The Trail Blazers have covered all 3 meetings since Lillard was traded from Portland to Milwaukee in September 2023.

Both teams have been exceeding expectations recently — Milwaukee being 6-1 ATS in its last 7 and Portland 5-0 ATS in its last 5 — but the Trail Blazers have had the edge in the head-to-head series since Lillard switched teams.

BET 1½ units on TRAIL BLAZERS +6.5 (-118).

Over/Under

The Trail Blazers are 3-1-1 to the Under in their last 5 contests, allowing an average of just 100.6 points per game.

The Bucks have scored 118 or more points in 6 of their last 7 games and gone 7-2 O/U in their last 9. But with the Under hitting in all 3 head-to-head meetings since Lillard was traded to Milwaukee, another low-scoring game should be expected in this series.

BET UNDER 229.5 (-110).

Bucks at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 127, Jazz 116

Moneyline

The Bucks are 8-11 on the road and have lost their last 2 road games, but the Jazz are only 7-18 at home and have only 1 win in their last 9 games overall.

Utah has allowed 123 or more points in 4 straight games. Don’t bet them to win, but -400 odds aren’t worth the action on the Bucks to win when you get better value from the spread.

PASS.

Against the spread

While the Jazz are 23-20 ATS, their last 2 losses and 3 of the last 4 losses have been by at least 9 points.

The Bucks have covered the spread in their last 5 wins, winning each game by at least 14 points.

BET BUCKS -8.5 (-105).

Over/Under

While the Jazz have allowed 126.8 points in their last 4 games and no fewer than 123 points, they have also scored 112 or more points in 5 of their last 6 games.

The Over is 8-2 in the Bucks’ last 10 games.

BET OVER 236.5 (-110).

Bucks at Clippers picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 121, Clippers 116

Moneyline

The Bucks are streaking, having won 5 straight and 7 of their last 8. They have beaten the Clippers in 4 straight meetings and are 8-2 against them in the last 10. During their current 5-game winning streak, they have scored 122 or more points in each outing. They are 10-8 against teams with a winning record.

The Clippers are 13-16 against teams with winning records, and despite being 16-8 at home this season, they have lost 2 of their last 3 in Inglewood.

Milwaukee’s scoring will prevail.

BET BUCKS (+125).

Against the spread

The Clippers are a league-best 14-5 ATS when favored, and the Bucks are 5-5 ATS as underdogs, but 12 of the Bucks’ last 13 covers have been outright wins.

Since the spread is only 2.5 points and less than 10 percent of NBA games land on 1 or 2, take the plus odds on Bucks ML.

PASS.

Over/Under

With the Bucks averaging 126.0 points per game during their 5-game win streak and Milwaukee scoring 120 or more in 8 of its last 9 wins, it is going to be hard not to hit the Over.

The Clippers have scored 110 or more in 5 of their last 6 games.

BET OVER 226.5 (-115).
