Wizards at Bucks picks and predictions
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.
