The Washington Wizards will visit the Milwaukee Bucks at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee on Wednesday night.
More Bad News
The Washington Wizards already lost John Wall to a season ending surgery earlier this season but they got more bad news when it was announced that Wall ruptured his left Achilles tendon after slipping in his home. With that, Wall is expected to be out for at least 12 months and the Wizards he left behind have lost four out of their last five games played.
The Wizards rank 10th in team scoring at 113.1 points per game. They are also 7th in the league in assists with 26.0 dimes per contest. Washington’s defensive stats are terrible though as they are 28th in rebounds at 40.8 per game and 29th in scoring defense at 116.0 points per game allowed.

Successful Road Trip
The Milwaukee Bucks have the league’s best record at 39-13 and they are hosting the Wizards at the Fiserv Forum where they are 22-4 on the season. The Bucks return home after a successful five-game road trip which saw them win four in a row after losing in Oklahoma City.
Milwaukee is the 2nd highest scoring team in the league at 117.2 points per game. They are also ranked 5th in passing at 26.3 assists per game. The Bucks are the top rebounding team in the NBA this season at 49.0 boards per contest and are ranked 7th in scoring defense at 107.2 points per game allowed.
Who Wins?
Washington is 4-6 SU in their last 10 games played. The Wizards are 1-2 SU in their last three road games played. Milwaukee is 9-1 SU in their last 10 games. The Bucks are 3-0 SU in their last three home games. Head to head, the Wizards are 6-4 SU in their last 10 games played.
The Bucks dropped the first of five consecutive road games at Oklahoma City. Since then, Milwaukee has bulldozed the Pistons, Raptors, Wizards and Nets by an average winning margin of 14.5 points. Having beaten the Wizards just a couple of games back and rolling with nine wins in their last 10 games, it’s hard not to back the NBA-leading Bucks. And not with the way Giannis has been dominating.
The Wizards won their two trips to Milwaukee last season but between last season and today, the Bucks have improved leaps and bounds not just with their offense but with their defense as well. The Bucks are the best team in the NBA and are 22-4 SU at home so far. The Wizards are just 6-20 SU on the road this season, I just can’t give this to them.
I’m picking the Milwaukee Bucks to beat the Washington Wizards on 2/6/19.
Other Bets To Make

Spread Odds: Wizards +11.5 (-109), Bucks -11.5 (-109)
Odds from gtbets.eu as of 2/6/19
Washington is 18-38 ATS in their last 56 road games played, 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games against Central Division teams and 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall. Milwaukee is 16-5-2 ATS in their last 23 games against Eastern Conference teams, 4-0 ATS in their last four games when playing on one day rest and 4-0 ATS in their last four games overall. Milwaukee is 16-9-1 ATS in 26 home games this season and have won at home by an average margin of 14.3 points per game. 13 out of the Bucks’ last 15 wins have also come via double digits so despite the high chalk here, I’m going with the favorites.
Prediction: Bucks -11.5
The over is 6-4 in the Wizards last 10 games including 2-1 in their last three games played on the road. The total has gone under in seven out of the last 10 games played by the Bucks. Milwaukee has seen the total go under in each of their last three games at home.
Washington Wizards vs Milwaukee Bucks 2/6/19
Over/Under Odds: Over 230 -109, Under 230 -109
Odds from gtbets.eu as of 2/6/19
The total is quite high but given that the Wizards have given up an average of 129 points per game in their last four losses and are second to the last in the league in scoring defense. The Bucks meanwhile are one of the more explosive offensive teams in the NBA right now and are the second highest scoring team in the league this season. Add those up and the over should be your pick too.
