Since the trade deadline the Bucks have really struggled and they\u2019ve now lost three games in a row.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63742&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>That doesn\u2019t sound too bad, but the losses have come against the Lakers, Jazz and Nuggets \u2013 three of the worst teams in the NBA. The closest game during that stretch has been a 7-point loss to Utah.<\/p>\n<p>Knight made this team run smoothly. He was having his best season in the NBA by far and he was going to lead the Bucks into the playoffs in the East, but now the Bucks might not even make the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63727&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>Carter-Williams is terrible in my opinion, especially when compared to Knight. MCW doesn\u2019t play with the same intensity as other star PG\u2019s and his numbers have been pretty bad since moving to the Bucks.<\/p>\n<p>Both teams are healthy, as the only player expected to miss the game right now is Mayo on Milwaukee. He hurts the team\u2019s depth a bit, but he isn\u2019t a huge loss, as he isn\u2019t in the starting line-up this year.<\/p>\n<p>These two teams aren\u2019t similar at all. The Warriors love to pile up points (110.1 PPG \u2013 1st), but they allow teams to score 100.0 PPG (18th). Golden State also averages 45.0 RPG (5th) and 27.1 APG (1st).<\/p>\n<p>This is a unit that plays great together. Most of the starters (Curry, Thompson and Green) can all shoot the basketball from anywhere on the court. The Warriors problem is they can\u2019t stop teams defensively.<\/p>\n<p>Milwaukee ranks 3rd in points allowed (96.5 PPG), but they only score 97.8 PPG (21st). They dish out 23.4 APG (7th), but only grab 41.4 RPG (26th).<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63741&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>Milwaukee will only cover if they exceed 100+ points.<\/p>\n<h3>Free NBA Picks: Milwaukee Bucks vs. Golden State Warriors<\/h3>\n<p>Despite the recent poor play of the Bucks, I\u2019m betting on them to cover.<\/p>\n<p><b>Milwaukee Bucks +13.5 (-110)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Golden State is unlikely to play their best basketball against the lowly Bucks. They could go through the motions and still win by 5-10.<\/p>\n<p>The Bucks seem to have the Warriors number in recent years as well. Milwaukee is 5-1 ATS in the last six H2H meetings although this will be the first match-up between these two teams this season.<\/p>\n<h3>Check out our\u00a0<a title=\"NBA Betting Odds\" href=\"https:\/\/capperspicks.sportsdirectinc.com\/odds\/nba.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\">Updated NBA Betting Odds<\/a>.<\/h3>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=64991&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NBA Gambling: Milwaukee vs Golden State The Golden State Warriors\u00a0(46-12) host the Milwaukee Bucks (32-38) in one of the late games tonight.
