Randy’s Pick
I'm not excited to lay this many points with the Milwaukee Bucks, especially on the road. The Bucks continue to be shaky defensively, and they're 4-8-1 ATS on the season. However, the Washington Wizards aren't a serious team as they also don't play a lick of defense, and it feels like Jordan Poole is just around to have fun now that he's got a ring and money. I wouldn't touch this game personally, but I'm on the Bucks if forced.
