Milwaukee Bucks
Last year, the Bucks put up their first winning season at 42-40 since going 46-36 in 2009-10 thanks in large part to a career season from Giannis Antetokounmpo. Antetokounmpo is playing even better this year, reaching new career highs in points per game with 27.6 and rebounds per game with 10.3.
As the “Greek Freak” continues to develop into one of the game’s top stars, Milwaukee continues to improve as well, well on its way into a playoff spot with a 33-26 SU and a 26-30-3 ATS record.
The Bucks haven’t enjoyed much home success against the Wizards in recent years with a 3-7 SU and 4-6 ATS record in their last 10 home games against Washington per the OddsShark NBA Database.
Washington Wizards
With a 109-94 blowout win at home over the Philadelphia 76ers, the Wizards improved to 4-1 SU and ATS over their last five games and 9-3 SU and ATS over their last 12. Washington has been outstanding on the road over that stretch with a 6-1 SU and ATS record including a current run of three straight road wins over Chicago, New York, and Cleveland.
Tomas Satoransky has been a pleasant surprise filling in for the injured John Wall averaging 29.9 minutes, 12.3 points and six assists per game.
Tuesday night’s total is set at 211 points at sports betting sites. The OVER is 3-0 in Milwaukee’s last three games since going just 3-15 in the team’s previous 18 games.
This could be the year that LeBron James loses his stanglehold over the Eastern Conference. The stage is set for a potentially wide open battle in the East, and both of these teams are in position to potentially go on deep runs if things shake out the right way. Games like this one will test the meddle of these two dark horse contenders.
