Wizards vs. Bucks Betting Prediction

The Bucks are prime favorites on paper. The Bucks turned up to the last game without their star core of Giannis, Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton, who were all out with injuries. For tonight’s game Holiday and Giannis are most likely back and should clearly impact the game’s outcome.

The Wizards are not a match on paper for the Bucks. The Milwaukee side have been brilliant at home this season, winning 15 of their 19 home games this season. That run should continue tonight.
