Tonight’s Milwaukee Bucks vs. Dallas Mavericks matchup has interesting aspects to consider. At full health, these could be two of the stronger sides in the NBA. Unfortunately for the respective fanbases, injuries are too often a part of the discourse surrounding both teams.
For the visitors, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard are listed as probable. But a late scratch is always possible. The hosts have Anthony Davis, Daniel Gafford, and Dereck Lively II listed as unavailable. Still, they are winners of three of their last five games. And there’s a chance to add another to the win column at the American Airlines Center.
Over/Under for Milwaukee Bucks vs. Dallas Mavericks
Tonight’s road team is inconsistent. They have only scored over 120 points in one of the past five games. While incorporating Kyle Kuzma into the mix, there are likely to be more rough offensive nights than not. Furthermore, the injury concerns are too much to ignore.
While the home team is dealing with players being out, this has been the case for them for a while. This current corps is used to playing together and how they have been stepping foot on the court. They should be able to play together enough to ensure the under while keeping this one close.
Final Pick: Under 227.5 (-105)
Moneyline/Spread for Milwaukee Bucks vs. Dallas Mavericks
The road team is favored tonight. Considering the hosts are further ahead of their opponents at this specific point in the season, picking them to cover is something of a safe proposition. However, it’s too risky to pick an outright winner in a game that is likely to be a close one either way.
Expect Kyrie Irving to have a good game. He knows how important it is to keep the team afloat until the others get back. And when the former Duke point guard is playing at a high level, he’s very difficult to stop. Therefore, the underdogs keeping it within the spread for this Milwaukee Bucks vs. Dallas Mavericks matchup is most likely.
