The Milwaukee Bucks travel to Frost Bank Center to take on the San Antonio Spurs for the second half of a back-to-back. The last time these two teams met was on December 19th, where the Bucks were able to defeat the Spurs at home with a score of 132-119.
Milwaukee Bucks vs. San Antonio Spurs Spread Set at 10.5, Over/Under 248.5 Total Points
The line for tonight’s matchup is set at 10.5 points, which favored Milwaukee in the last matchup winning by 13 points. The Bucks are also 16-2 as favorites of -225 or higher. However, Milwaukee is less dominant on the road with a 6-7 record this season and are coming off a loss on the road to the Indiana Pacers last night.
In the last matchup versus these two opponents, there were a total of 251 points scored and both teams shot over 47 percent from the field. Milwaukee is the second highest scoring team in the league averaging just under 125 points per game and coming off a game last night should help their offense stay in rhythm.
While San Antonio is bottom five in the league in that category, they are more consistent offensively at home, averaging over 114 points per game. There is value in the total points going over for tonight’s contest.
Damian Lillard Over 25.5 Points (-120 on FanDuel Sportsbook)
Damian Lillard, who has struggled to find his rhythm the past two games has a favorable matchup tonight versus San Antonio. Lillard put up a season high 40 points in the last matchup versus the Spurs while shooting 7-12 from behind the arc. San Antonio gives up the most points per game to the point guard position in the entire league, which makes Lillard to go over 25.5 points my best bet of the contest.
Victor Wembanyama Over 19.5 Points (-102 on FanDuel Sportsbook)
Victor Wembanyama, who was the number one overall pick in this year’s draft is one of the current front runners for rookie of the year. Wembanyama has gone over the 19.5 mark in his last 3 games and will need to step up in the scoring department against the number 2 scoring offense in the NBA. Especially with Zach Collins ruled out for the contest with an ankle injury.
The Bucks give up over 22 points per game to opposing centers. While Wembanyama didn’t suit up for the last matchup versus Milwaukee, over 19.5 points holds value in tonight’s matchup.
Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 17.5 Rebounds + Assists (-130 on FanDuel Sportsbook)

Giannis Antetokounmpo has been a dominant force early this season, winning player of the month for December averaging 32.5 points, 11.5 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game and leading the Bucks to a 24-10 record so far this season.
Antetokounmpo had a career high 16 assists along with 14 rebounds in the last matchup versus San Antonio and has hit the 17.5 line in the last 5 games. Antetokounmpo to go over 17.5 combined rebounds and assists hold value in tonight’s contest.
