Spurs vs Bucks Wednesday Prediction | NBA Picks Today, Best Bets

The San Antonio Spurs travel to Wisconsin on Wednesday night to battle the Milwaukee Bucks. San Antonio enters this matchup with an 18-18 record, looking to get over the .500 mark as the team continues to navigate without head coach Gregg Popovich. Meanwhile, the 18-16 Bucks continue to battle issues of their own as inconsistencies that hindered them last year continue to pop up. Nonetheless, between two generational athletes, Victor Wembanyama and Giannis Antetokounmpo, set to clash, this matchup is a dogfight.

Spurs vs. Bucks Best Bet: Spurs +5

The Spurs have battled inconsistencies throughout the season, but one issue they haven’t had is playing hard. San Antonio’s young roster enters every game believing they have the talent to pull out a win, and the majority of the time, it puts them in a position where they have the chance to take it down the stretch. On paper, Milwaukee should easily win this game, but the struggles of Doc Rivers’ squad have made it hard to trust them. While the Spurs may not be able to come away victorious, it wouldn’t be a shock to see San Antonio keep the game tight. Furthermore, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Wemby lead them to a win on the road.

Spurs vs. Bucks Best Total Bet: Over 226.5

Entering this matchup, neither team is in the conversation as one of the top offenses, let alone the top teams in the league. Despite that, both squads have the talent to score points at a high rate. Assuming this game turns into a high-scoring bout between two hungry squads, a final score of 118-113 seems realistic.

Spurs Best Player Bet: Victor Wembanyama 4+ Blocks +125

Victor Wembanyama impacts the game in nearly every way imaginable. The seven-foot-three big man can handle the ball on offense and shoot from anywhere on the court, yet his biggest impact on the game could come from the defensive end. The Frenchman uses his wing span to deter shots from the basket and averages four blocks per game this season. With four or more in six of the last eight games, the big man has a solid chance to end with the same result tonight.

Bucks Best Player Bet: Damian Lillard 25+ Points +105

Damian Lillard joined the Bucks last offseason and has since become the reliable scoring option Milwaukee was searching for. The star guard still proves he’s one of the top-scoring options in the league despite being Milwaukee’s second option. Averaging 24.7 points per game, Lillard can score 30+ on any given night. Against a Spurs team that deters offenses from attacking the paint, the Bucks could rely on the former lottery pick to keep them in this one, especially from the outside.
