Milwaukee Bucks vs Washington Wizards Prediction 12/1/2025 Today’s NBA Picks

The Milwaukee Bucks and the Washington Wizards do Battle at the Capital One Arena on Monday night.

Milwaukee Bucks Betting Preview 

The Milwaukee Bucks have been struggling lately as they were on a seven-game losing streak before they snapped out of it with a 116-99 win over the lowly Nets on Saturday. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the team with 29 points on 12 of 15 shooting, Bobby Portis and Kevin Porter Jr each scored 13 points while AJ Green chipped in with 15 points and five assists. As a team, the Bucks shot 52 percent from the field and 16 of 39 from the 3-point line as they took control of the contest with a 39-point burst in the second quarter to take a 18-point lead into halftime and they kept their foot on the gas until the margin ballooned to 32 points at one stage. 

Washington Wizards Betting Preview 

Meanwhile, the Washington Wizards have really been ice-cold so far this season as they’ve lost 16 of their first 18 games and they will be hoping to bounce back after getting trounced by the struggling Pacers in a 119-86 road defeat on Friday. Alex Sarr led the team in scoring with 24 points, nine rebounds and two blocks, Khris Middleton added 12 points with six rebounds and four assists while CJ McCollum and Bilal Coulibaly each scored 11 points but no other player scored more than eight points. As a team, the Wizards shot just 39 percent from the field and seven of 32 from the 3-point line as they didn’t match the level or urgency the Pacers played with and quickly found themselves in deep trouble. In fact, the Wizards committed 17 turnovers and they scored just 13 points in the fourth quarter to lose big and fall to 1-10 on the road this season. 

Milwaukee v Washington Free Prediction

The Bucks are still missing Taurean Prince, while the Wizards have ruled out Tre Johnson and Corey Kispert with Alex Sarr listed as questionable due to right adductor soreness. The Bucks haven’t been playing anywhere near their best over the past couple weeks, but they were able to knock off some cobwebs with a much needed blowout win over the Nets in their last outing, while the Wizards have continued their downward spiral with a massive defeat to the struggling Pacers and they could be missing Sarr who has been a bright spot for them this season. The line is hefty, but the Bucks have been out of sorts so far this season, but they were good enough to trample the lowly Nets in their last outing and I think we’re about to see a similar outcome here. The Bucks beat the Wizards by 133-120 back in the season opener on Oct 22 and I am expecting a similar scoreline with the Bucks getting the win and cover on the road.
