Milwaukee @ San Antonio
Current Records: Milwaukee 43-24; San Antonio 32-35
The Milwaukee Bucks have enjoyed the comforts of home their last four games, but now they must head out on the road. They will take on the San Antonio Spurs at 8:30 p.m. ET Monday at AT&T Center after having had a few days off. The Bucks know how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with flashy point totals in its past three matchups -- so hopefully San Antonio likes a good challenge.
Milwaukee beat the Houston Rockets 141-133 this past Friday. Center Brook Lopez was the offensive standout of the game for Milwaukee, picking up 24 points in addition to seven boards.
Meanwhile, San Antonio has to be aching after a bruising 124-102 defeat to the Portland Trail Blazers this past Saturday. The top scorers for San Antonio were small forward DeMar DeRozan (20 points) and shooting guard Lonnie Walker IV (18 points).
The Bucks are expected to win this handily, but they should have beaten Houston April 29 easily too and instead slipped up with a 143-136. In other words, don't count the Spurs out just yet.
The Bucks are a solid 7-point favorite against the Spurs, according to the latest NBA odds.
The oddsmakers had a good feel for the line for this one, as the game opened with the Bucks as a 7.5-point favorite.
