The San Antonio Spurs (18-18) take on the Milwaukee Bucks (18-16) Wednesday. Tip-off from Fiserv Forum is set for 9:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA odds around the Spurs vs. Bucksodds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.
Season series: First meeting; Bucks swept 2-0 in 2023-24
The Spurs have dropped 2 straight, recently falling 114-110 as 3-point road favorites at the Chicago Bulls Monday — the Under (236) hit. C Victor Wembanyama had 23 points, 14 boards and 8 blocks. He was 1 of 8 Spurs to score in double figures. If he gets a running mate, this Spurs team will be a problem.
The Bucks recovered from a bad home loss to the Portland Trail Blazers Saturday with a 128-104 win at the Toronto Raptors Monday. Milwaukee covered as a 6-point favorite against Toronto with the Over (231) coming in. F Giannis Antetokounmpo barely broke a sweat on the offensive end and wound up with a triple-double. He had 11 points (5-for-8 shooting), 12 boards and 13 assists. G Damian Lillard had 25 points and went 5-for-8 from distance.

Spurs at Bucks picks and predictions
Prediction
Bucks 119, Spurs 118
Moneyline
The Spurs (+170) could take this one, but I see a prop bet that is calling my name. So I’ll head there and take the Spurs ATS.
Wemby had 5 blocks in his only meeting with Milwaukee (last season). He has 4+ blocks in 8 of his past 11 games. The bright lights of ESPN, and the threat of Giannis opposite him will bring out the best in the Spurs sta. BET VICTOR WEMBANYAMA OVER 3.5 BLOCKS (+110).

Against the spread
The Spurs covered in both meetings last season, and they’re a much better team now. I think catching 5.5 points is a golden egg here, and as mentioned, I think they could win outright.
TAKE SPURS +5.5 (-110).
Over/Under
Both meetings last season sailed well over this total. Both teams are 4-6 O/U in their last 10. The Spurs have hit the Under in 4 straight — the last 3 totals were all in the mid-to-upper 230’s.
This total feels light to me. BET OVER 227.5 (-110).
