Milwaukee Bucks vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction
I have a hard time getting behind the Spurs, a team that's 2-8 SU and ATS in their last 10 games. However, the Bucks are playing their fourth straight road game, and they're coming off bad losses to the Trail Blazers and Clippers. The Bucks have been inconsistent all season, and they've lost 12 games on the road. The Spurs have had a lot of close games this season, and it feels like they're due for some of these games to go their way. Portis is still out for the Bucks, which is a blow. The Spurs have seen 12 of their 20 wins come at home. I'll take a stab with the Spurs and the points.
