Dallas Mavericks vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction
The Mavericks are on the end of a back to back but they still have guys who play hard and compete each night. The Bucks have been awful even at full strength but now half their rotation is out. The Bucks are in full-on tank mode and they’re 32-42 ATS on the season. This is a game you should probably avoid but I’d lean Mavs if forced to pick. The young guys keep playing hard. The Bucks are a veteran team that’s given up on the season. I like the Mavs to beat the Bucks for the first time since April 2022.
