Washington Wizards vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction
The Wizards have moments where they get up and compete, but it’s not consistent. The Wizards continue to lose at a record pace, and they’re 12-19 ATS on the season. The Bucks have a motivated Antetokounmpo back, and they’ve won 3 of their last 4 games. The Bucks have also covered 4 of their last 5 games. This is a revenge spot after the Bucks lost to the Wizards earlier this month. Also, the Bucks are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games as a double-digit favorite. Thick line, but I’m going to lay the points with the home team.
