**Betting on anything, including sports, should be in moderation, with discretionary income and only if you're 21+. This blog only offers recommendations and is not liable for any loses incurred.

Milwaukee Bucks (29-11) @ Washington Wizards (17-25)
Money Line: MIL -130 / WSH +110
Point Spread: MIL -1
Points O/U: 226
First Half: MIL -0.5

Oppo: Giannis is DOUBTFUL (Hip) for tonight's game. He was the biggest guy against the Rockets posting a double-double with 27 points and 21 rebounds. Yes, TWENTY-ONE REBOUNDS. They're still the best team of the two, but road weariness and losing the team's centerpiece has me giving the Wizards the edge.
*(10-7 Away, 23-15-2 Against the Spread, 8-8-1 ATS Away)

Wiz Trend: Impressive win against the Sixers last game. Thomas Bryant's coming out season has been quite a show, hoping he can stay hot through this game. The Wizards have been better at home this season, and I think they can keep their advantage.
*(12-7 Home, 17-25-0 Against the Spread, 11-8 ATS Home)

Match-Up: The Wizards got ahead of the Sixers quickly, and I think they can keep up that pace. Although the Bucks are 2-0 this season without Giannis, the announcement happened only hours before game time, so adjustments should take a bit to implement.

Game Pick: Washington Wizards First Half

Yesterday's Pick

Bruins Money Line @ -140
-Holtby proved me wrong, shutting down the Bruins and sealing up the Caps' 14th straight win against Boston. The crazy streak continues and Holtby must have an edge against the Bruins, going 15-2-0 against the team in his career.
