NBA Betting Trends

Washington

The Wizards are just 18-38 against the spread in their last 56 road games and 6-20 ATS in their last 26 road games against a team with a winning home record.

Milwaukee

The Bucks are 9-2-1 against the spread in their last 12 games against a losing team and 16-5-2 ATS in their last 23 conference games.

Prediction:

Milwaukee returns home after an impressive finish to a long road trip. The Bucks get to face a beat-up Washington team that has really looked poor on the road. The Wizards are 7-19 ATS on the road this season while Milwaukee is 16-9-1 ATS at home. Milwaukee has far too much offense for Washington, which gives up 118 points per game on the road. I can’t see Washington finding enough offense to cover this spread.

NBA Prediction: Milwaukee Bucks -11.5
