NBA Betting Trends

Milwaukee

The Bucks have covered the spread in six straight games on no rest and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite.

Miami

The Heat are 20-9-1 against the spread in their last 30 home games, but 7-19-1 ATS in their last 27 games following a win.

Prediction:

Miami won the first meeting with the Bucks in Milwaukee back on Oct. 26, but I think the Bucks continue their winning ways tonight. Even on no rest, Milwaukee has been able to play at a high level. Miami has had a strong season, but the Heat have been playing some of their worst basketball in recent weeks. I think their offense is going to struggle with the Milwaukee defense and the Heat won’t be able to get enough stops to keep pace. The Bucks are just too strong for them.

NBA Prediction: Milwaukee Bucks -3.5
