Nuggets at Bucks picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 117, Nuggets 107

Moneyline

PASS.

Taking Milwaukee (-310) to win straight up isn’t worth doing at the current odds.

Against the spread

With the Nuggets playing the 2nd leg of a back-to-back, BUCKS -7.5 (-115) is an enticing bet. This is a spread that makes it seem as if Denver will be without either or both of C Nikola Jokic and G Jamal Murray.

Even though the trends point toward the Nuggets covering, the Bucks have F Giannis Antetokounmpo back and they are at home.

Over/Under

UNDER 233.5 (-108) is how I’d wager on the total in this matchup. Assuming that Denver rests a couple of starters on a back-to-back, there could be less scoring than expected.

The Nuggets have gone 6-1 to the Under in their last 7 games following an ATS loss.

Bucks at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 122, Hawks 117

Moneyline

Even though both of these teams have struggled recently, give me F Giannis Antetokounmpo and the BUCKS (-135) to win on Wednesday. The come-from-behind victory over the Knicks on Monday could help the Bucks get back on track.

Against the spread

BUCKS -2.5 (-108) is an enticing bet at the current odds. You would have to go back to the 2013 season to find the last regular-season meeting between the Bucks and the Hawks that was decided by fewer than 3 points.

The Bucks have gone 4-2 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Meanwhile, the Hawks are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games playing on 2 days of rest.

Over/Under

While some trends point toward the Under in this contest, I’ll be siding with OVER 234.5 (-105). Milwaukee and Atlanta are both top 14 teams in pace and the Hawks have allowed 125-plus points in 5 of their last 10 games.

The Bucks have hit the Over in 4 of their last 5 games playing on 1 day of rest. The Hawks are 5-0 to the Over in their last 5 games following an ATS win.

The Raptors suffered a 122-114 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Monday as they failed to cover as 2-point favorites on the road. Toronto has lost 3 of its last 4 games and 7 of its last 10 entering Wednesday’s matchup.

Bucks at Raptors picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 118, Raptors 114

Moneyline

Assuming that Antetokounmpo suits up for Milwaukee, BUCKS (+155) is an enticing wager at the current odds. The Raptors have struggled to win games recently while there’s a chance that the Bucks have Antetokounmpo and G Jrue Holiday available.

Against the spread

Being that I have Milwaukee winning outright, BUCKS +4.5 (-110) is where I’m leaning in this game. The Raptors have had success against the Bucks recently, but I expect Milwaukee to show up in a nationally televised game.

The Bucks are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games playing on 0 days of rest. The Raptors are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games.

Over/Under

OVER 226.5 (-110) is the to bet the total. Antetokounmpo is scoring at will right now and the Raptors have G Fred VanVleet and F Pascal Siakam on the court together again.

The Bucks have gone Over in 5 of their last 6 road games and 4 of their last 5 games overall. Meanwhile, the Raptors have gone Over in 4 of their last 5 games playing on 1 day of rest.

Prediction

Bucks 119, Wizards 114

Moneyline

AVOID.

The Bucks (-320) are such heavy favorites that taking them straight up isn’t worth the risk for the minimal profit if they secure the victory.

Against the spread

Even though Holiday and Antetokounmpo are expected back for the Bucks, WIZARDS +7.5 (-105) is where I’m leaning in this matchup. Washington is on a 5-game win streak and should be able to keep it within 7 points, especially if Beal is active.

The Wizards are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games, and the Bucks are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games.

Over/Under

OVER 228.5 (-112) is an enticing bet despite the trends leaning toward the Under in this game. If Holiday and Antetokounmpo are officially active, then the Bucks should put up a decent number of points while the Wizards have averaged 116.8 points per game in their last 10 games.

Bucks at Nets picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 119, Nets 115

Moneyline

Even though Middleton isn’t expected to suit up on Friday night, BUCKS (+125) is a solid wager in this game. The Nets have certainly looked great in recent weeks, but it’s tough betting against Antetokounmpo following a loss.

Against the spread

Being that I took them to win, BUCKS +2.5 (-110) is where I’m going in this game. It should be a close contest on Friday night.

The Bucks are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a loss. Also, the Bucks are 19-6-1 ATS in the last 26 road meetings against the Nets and 36-16-1 ATS in the last 53 meetings overall.

Over/Under

OVER 228.5 (-115) is an intriguing bet in this game as both teams are capable of scoring points in bunches. There have been 229-plus points scored in 4 of the last 5 matchups between the Bucks and the Nets.

The Bucks have hit the Over in 4 of their last 5 games overall. Meanwhile, the Nets have hit the Over in 6 of their last 7 games overall.

Warriors at Bucks picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 121, Warriors 113

Moneyline

The Bucks (-170) are favored to win at home, but I’ll PASS on the moneyline in this game given the current odds. While I won’t take the Bucks straight up, the Warriors are 2-11 on the road this season, so I’m fine taking the Bucks in parlays.

Against the spread

Considering that Wiggins is out for the Warriors, BUCKS -4.5 (-105) is an enticing wager in this contest. Golden State doesn’t have anyone to slow down F Giannis Antetokounmpo and Milwaukee is expected to have Holiday and Middleton available.

The Bucks are 11-2 ATS in their last 13 Tuesday games, while the Warriors are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 Tuesday games.

Over/Under

OVER 232.5 (-115) is where I’m leaning in this game as these teams are capable of scoring plenty of points. While the Bucks have been allowing fewer 3-pointers this season, the Warriors are tied for the 4th-best true-shooting percentage in the NBA.

The Warriors have gone 5-1-1 to the Over in their last 7 road games. Meanwhile, the Bucks have gone Over in each of their last 6 home games.

Prediction

Bucks 114, Bulls 106

Moneyline

Go ahead and PASS on the moneyline in this game. The Bucks (-290) are favored at home and have won 8 of the last 10 meetings against the Bulls, but taking them straight up at their current odds isn’t worth the risk.

Against the spread

BUCKS -6.5 (-115) is an intriguing wager with F Giannis Antetokounmpo expected to be active despite dealing with a knee issue. Even with the Bulls securing an impressive win over the Celtics Monday, I expect the Bucks to perform well at home Wednesday.

Milwaukee is 6-1 ATS in the team’s last 7 home games against a team with a losing road record and Chicago is 2-6 ATS in its last 8 games against Milwaukee.

Over/Under

Even though I always root for high-scoring games, UNDER 220.5 (-110) seems like the ideal choice in this contest. Both of these teams have a combined 12-21 record to the Under so far this season.

The Under is 7-0 in the last 7 meetings between the Bulls and the Bucks in Milwaukee and the Under is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings overall. Plus, the Bulls are 6-1 to the Under in their last 7 games while the Bucks are 7-0 to the Under in their last 7 games following a win.

Hawks at Bucks picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 116, Hawks 109

Moneyline

The odds for the Bucks (-175) to win are at a spot where I’ll just AVOID taking the moneyline in this game. While I wouldn’t recommend wagering on Milwaukee’s moneyline straight up, it’s fine taking the Bucks to win in a parlay.

Against the spread

With Antetokounmpo expected to return to Milwaukee’s lineup, BUCKS -4.5 (-105) appears to be an ideal wager at home. Milwaukee is also expected to have Allen available, however, Holiday has been ruled out.

The Bucks are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games. As for the Hawks, they’ve gone 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road matchups with the Bucks.

Over/Under

OVER 224.5 (-115) is where I’m leaning in this game with Antetokounmpo projected to be back. Both of these teams are in the top half of the league in pace (Hawks are 6th, Bucks are 15th), so both teams are expected to be pushing the ball up the court consistently.

The Over is 5-1 in Atlanta’s last 6 road games. Meanwhile, the Over has hit in 4 of the last 7 meetings between the Hawks and the Bucks.

The Bucks are the lone unbeaten team in the NBA after taking down the Pistons 110-108 at home Monday, although they failed to cover as 13.5-point favorites.

Just PASS on the moneyline in this game despite that the Bucks (-700) should cruise to a win at home, because there is no value in such a heavy favorite.

Antetokounmpo scored 31 points with 7 rebounds in Monday’s win on 12-of-23 shooting and I expect him to perform even better Wednesday.

Against the spread

It was a close game Monday, but give me BUCKS -11.5 (-110) in the rematch as I expect Antetokounmpo to have a quick start after starting slow in the first half of Monday’s contest. That narrow victory was Milwaukee’s 1st ATS loss of the season.

The Pistons are 4-14-1 ATS in their last 19 meetings with the Bucks and are 3-7-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings in Milwaukee.

Over/Under

UNDER 223.0 (-108) is the ideal choice in this game with the Bucks having the best defensive rating in the NBA. The Pistons also have the 4th-worst effective field-goal percentage in the league, so points could be hard to come by.

The Under is 5-1 in Milwaukee’s last 6 games against teams with a losing record and is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings between the Pistons and the Bucks.

Nets at Bucks picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 112, Nets 105

Moneyline

Just PASS on the moneyline in this game despite the expectation of the Bucks winning at home. Milwaukee’s odds aren’t currently at a spot where I feel comfortable taking them straight up, though, I’m fine inserting the Bucks into a parlay.

Against the spread

Even with Milwaukee being without Middleton, I’ll take BUCKS -3.5 (-117) with how Brooklyn has looked to begin the season. The Nets need to figure out how to incorporate G Ben Simmons into the lineup and I don’t believe they figure it out Wednesday.

Brooklyn is 1-5 ATS in its last 6 games overall and 2-5 ATS in the last 7 road meetings against Milwaukee. Meanwhile, the Bucks are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games against a team with a losing record.

Over/Under

UNDER 232.5 (-105) is where I’m leaning in this game with it being a lofty total despite Middleton being sidelined for the Bucks. These 2 teams have capable scorers on the floor still, but they are both bottom 10 teams in pace to begin the season.

The Under is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings between the Nets and the Bucks when the game is in Milwaukee. The Under is also 10-2-1 in the last 13 meetings overall.
