Wizards vs Bucks Prediction
In theory, the Milwaukee Bucks should win this game easily, but they’re in a letdown spot after being the Clippers last night, and they’re now on the end of a back-to-back. Right when it looks like the Bucks have things figured out, they let you down. The Bucks are 11-15 SU on the road this season. The Wizards are awful and don’t win games, but they have covered six of their last seven games. The underdog has covered four of the last six games between the Bucks and Wizards. It’s also going to be worth checking the injury report later in the day to see if Antetokounmpo or Lillard pop up after playing last night. Not my favorite game on Friday’s NBA card, but I’d lean Wizards and the points if forced to pick.
