Bucks at Thunder: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Bucks 123, Thunder 115
Money line (ML)
The Bucks (-650) should be able to easily push past the Thunder, but there is no value betting Milwaukee straight up. You have to risk six and a half times your potential return.
In other words, you could win this wager 87 percent of the time and still be behind in overall bankroll. AVOID.

Against the spread (ATS)
The THUNDER +11.5 (-110) have covered the spread in each of their past three outings, each as a 9.5-point underdog or greater. They have also covered in five straight as dogs of eight or more points.
The Bucks will get it done straight up, but take OKC on its home hardwood to keep it at least within single digits for another cover.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 227.5 (-110) is the play whenever the Bucks are involved. The Over has connected in three straight for Milwaukee, and it’s 7-1-1 in the Bucks’ past nine games.
OKC hasn’t been nearly as prolific offensively, and combined for a total of just 192 points in its most recent outing against the Denver Nuggets. The Over is still 3-1 in the past four for the Thunder and 5-3 in their past eight overall.
