Bucks 122, Wizards 108
Money line (ML
PASS on the money line here as the Bucks are -650 favorites. While they certainly should win this game, the Wizards are frisky enough to pull off some upsets.
Washington is 11-16 as an underdog this season as they have defeated some good teams, such as the Clippers, Lakers and Nuggets over the last month. Instead, look to the point spread as it presents far better value on the Bucks.

Against the spread (ATS)
BUCKS -10.5 (-110) is the play here despite the big line for Milwaukee and playing on the road. Washington did play on Friday night, losing to the 76ers by 26 points.
The Bucks present a lot of the same problems and their No. 2 ranked scoring offense should have no problem scoring into the 120s in this contest. Milwaukee has won five straight games against the Wizards, covering in four of those five contests.
TAKE THE BUCKS -10.5 (-110) here and expect a blowout in Washington on Saturday night.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 239.5 (-110) is the lean here as Washington’s offense has been up and down over the last few weeks. They’ve scored under 113 points in four of their last five games and scored just 101 points against the 76ers on Friday night.
Expect them to be better than that on Saturday, but to score no more than 110 points. Take the Under here as the Bucks’ defense should have no problem slowing down the Wizards in this Eastern Conference matchup.
