The Milwaukee Bucks are set to begin a stretch of the schedule that will pit them against most of the top contenders in the Eastern Conference playoff race. The young Bucks kick things off on Tuesday against the Washington Wizards in Wisconsin. The UNDER is trending in this series, as four of the last five meetings between the clubs have gone below the closing total.
Sportsbook opened the Bucks as 3-point home favorites with a total of 211.
- The Bucks are 9-2 SU in their last 11 games after a loss.
- The Wizards are 5-2 SU in their last seven games on the road after consecutive home games.
- The total has gone OVER in the Wizards’ last five games with a closing total of 211.5 or less.
The Bucks’ next five games are all against teams in the top nine in the East standings. Milwaukee is coming off a heartbreaking 123-121 home overtime loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday, as the club let a big lead slip away in the second half. The Bucks have fared well against the Wizards this season, topping Washington twice in the month of January.
The Wizards are beginning their own tough stretch, with 13 straight games against teams with winning records. The John Wall-less Wiz knocked off Philadelphia 109-94 on Sunday and are 10-3 SU since the all-star point guard went down with a knee injury. Small forward Tomas Satoransky took Wall’s place in the starting lineup on Sunday and handed out 10 assists in the process.
