San Antonio Spurs vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Wednesday, 01/08/25

The Spurs and Bucks meet in Milwaukee for a matchup between two teams trying to solidify their footing as the season progresses. San Antonio has exceeded expectations this season, thanks largely to the young Frenchman Victor Wembanyama. The 7’4″ phenom has been dominant, averaging 25.6 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game. The young Spurs are meshing well under veteran Chris Paul’s leadership, showing flashes of brilliance with recent wins over the Nuggets and Clippers. Their defense has stepped up, holding opponents to an average of 114.8 points total over their last four games, even against fast-paced teams.

The Bucks, meanwhile, are still searching for consistency. Despite Giannis Antetokounmpo’s MVP-caliber campaign (31.6 PPG), Milwaukee’s season has been a rollercoaster, marked by a lackluster start and ongoing issues on the boards, where they rank 19th. Facing Wembanyama, this weakness could be a critical factor. While Milwaukee ranks 13th in points per game and 6th in three-pointers, their defense (10th in efficiency) will likely need to grind out a result. With both teams playing strong defense and average offenses, this game could slow down, especially in the second half. Given recent trends and Milwaukee’s tendency toward low-scoring home games (under in 11 of 18), expect a tight contest that stays under the total.
