The Bucks and Spurs will meet for the second time of the season tonight and this game will be on TNT for your viewing pleasure with tip off set for just after 7:30 EST. The Bucks won the first head to head meeting 132-110 and Damien Lillard had 40 points in that game. The Bucks lost to the Pacers last night and allowed 142 points. Will they tighten up the defense and win tonight? Let's get into our Bucks vs Spurs Prediction - NBA Picks 1/4/24.
Milwaukee Bucks:
The Bucks, with a record of 24-10, are one of the top teams in the league. They are known for their strong offensive play, ranking second in the NBA for field goal percentage and sixth in three-point shooting.
Key players include Giannis Antetokounmpo, who averages 30.6 points and 11.3 rebounds per game, and Damian Lillard, contributing 25.4 points per game.
Milwaukee's pace of play and ability to avoid turnovers have been significant factors in their success this season.
San Antonio Spurs:
The Spurs have been struggling this season with a record of 5-28. They rank 25th in scoring offense, averaging 110.9 points per game, and 27th in scoring defense, allowing 122.8 points per game.
Rookie Victor Wembanyama has been a standout for the Spurs, leading the team with 18.9 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 3.1 blocks per game. Other key contributors include Keldon Johnson and Devin Vassell.
San Antonio has had issues in slowing down opponents, particularly in three-point defense, which could be a significant disadvantage against the Bucks.
Prediction:
The Bucks are heavily favored to win this matchup. Despite playing their third game in four nights and the second game of a back-to-back, the Bucks' offensive firepower and the Spurs' defensive struggles point towards a Milwaukee victory.
The game is expected to be high-scoring, given both teams' pace of play and the Spurs' defensive issues.
I'm not sure if I will be taking a side or total in this one but I might look to play some player props.

Bucks 132 Spurs 122
