Milwaukee Bucks -6.5 Point Spread (-110)
Bucks have been fairly dominant in recent meetings between the two teams winning four of the last five. The average margin of victory in those games was 20 points and in the last two meetings at Chase Center the Bucks won by an average of 16 points which puts us a in a very solid position here. Giannis took the night off against the Kings last time out and the team delivered a win. In the game before that he scored 47 points on 18/21 shooting against the Portland Trail Blazers. This man is on a mission, focused more than ever to bring the Bucks a championship, I think we will see him shifting in another gear towards the end of the season as he gets ready for the Playoffs. Look for Giannis to carry the Bucks to a win here.
Check out our full game preview for Milwaukee Bucks vs Golden State Warriors.
Over 232.5 Points (-110)
Milwaukee is now the highest scoring team in the NBA after overtaking the Brooklyn Nets. They average 119.2 points per game ranking fourth both in field goal and three-point percentage. They are also first in total rebounding at 48.1 rebounds per game, they have the size advantage against the Warriors which should also help them in scoring on the inside. Warriors also score a lot, but they also allow a ton. Stephen Curry is averaging the second highest points per game mark of his career at 29.4 per game. In his last three he has had 37, 36 and 32 points. Andrew Wiggins is also contributing with 18.2 points and Kelly Oubre is averaging 15 points per game. When Curry has it going on the offensive end, so do the rest of the Warriors. Pace of play is also a factor here, Warriors are the second fastest, Bucks are the third fastest team in the NBA. Don’t be surprised if we see 240 points here.
Khris Middleton to score Over 18.5 Points (-116)
Outside of Giannis, Khris Middleton is Milwaukee’s biggest weapon on the offensive end. He is averaging 20.2 points per game for the season, he has scored 20+ points in 25 of 48 games this season. He has four 30+ point games to his name as well. In his last eight games he has scored at least one three-pointer and has shot 52.9 percent from deep, draining four three-pointers against the Pacers and Celtics. In the game he played earlier this season against the Warriors he had 31 points on 10/15 shooting, including six threes.
Jrue Holiday to record Over 5.5 assists (-150)
Holiday has been ballin’ in his last four games, earning himself a massive contract extension worth $160M over the next four seasons. His playmaking has been very consistent ever since they acquired him. He’s coming off a 33-point effort against the Sacramento Kings, averaging 26.7 points per game in his last four outings. For the season he is averaging 5.4 assists, but that number has gone up to 8.5 over his last four games, over his last two games he has had 11 and 10 assists against the Blazers and Kings. Look for Holiday to continue playing well and being an integral part of this Milwaukee Bucks team.
