These two teams met last week with Milwaukee smashing Washington 131-115 in Washington. The Bucks covered as 6-point favorites on the road and are now favored by 11.5 at home. And I'm taking the Wizards. Milwaukee's blowout of the Wizards has been more of an exception than the rule in this series, as the road dog has covered 6 of the last 7 meetings.

The Wizards are coming off a homestand in which they were embarrassed by the Milwaukee Bucks and Atlanta Hawks. Against the Bucks they found themselves in instances down by over 30 points. Defense has been the main issue as the Wizards yielded 131 points to the Bucks and 137 to the Hawks. Venturing on the road look for a better effort against a Bucks team that’s at a climax ATS. Grab the Wizards.

The Bucks have averaged a 120-105 score at home this season while compiling a 22-4 home record. The Wizards hate the road, going just 6-20 and a lousy 7-19 ATS. The Wizards come in losing four of their past five games. The Bucks are the play Wednesday.

The Bucks are rolling right now with 10 wins across their last 11 games. Amazingly, they won those games by an average of 15.4 points. That included defeating the Wizards by 16 points in Washington on Saturday. Washington is 7-19 ATS on the road while the Bucks are 16-9-1 ATS at home, so I’ll take them to cover despite this lofty number.
