Timberwolves at Bucks: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Bucks 125, Timberwolves 110
Money line (ML)
The Timberwolves are not doing well. They have lost four in a row and eight of their last 10. They fired Ryan Saunders as head coach after their loss Sunday and replaced him with Chris Finch. This will be their first game under his leadership. The Bucks are on a two-game winning streak after dropping five in a row. However, This game is matching up a championship contender with the worst team in the league. Betting the money line isn’t going to be worth your time in this game, but it is a sure win. Take the BUCKS -600.

Against the spread (ATS)
Despite having won only seven games all season, Minnesota isn’t a bad ATS bet. They are 14-16-1 against the spread this season, while the Bucks are 15-16 ATS. The Wolves are 7-8 ATS on the road. Milwaukee is 9-6 ATS at home. The Wolves have failed to cover in each of their last four games. They have a new coach, but that won’t be enough against a Bucks team getting back on track. Take the BUCKS -10.5 (-110).
Over/Under (O/U)
Despite having two of their last three games go Under, the Bucks have the sixth-highest Over percentage in the league at 60%. Minnesota is 14-17 O/U. Four of their last five have gone Under. The Bucks have the second-highest scoring offense in the league, and I don’t anticipate the Wolves being able to slow them much. Take OVER 231.5 POINTS (-110).
