I’m on the over of 225.5 in this Bucks vs Spurs game for these reasons:

- Neither team coming off a back to back, both teams played on the road in Monday and had a day off in between that game and today, so we should expect the starters to play the allotment of minutes.

- Last 3 meetings between the two have gone over this number. And with both teams having closely similar records, it’s going to be a fast paced game from both sides.

- Two top 20 scoring units, it’s likely they are going to reach their average in scoring here, and San Antonio attempt the 7th most three pointers in the league, which could spark this game into a fire fight with a very capable Bucks team where Dame Lillard, and Gary Trent Jr are going to have ample opportunities to light it up from deep.

- There’s a counterbalance to having Giannis and Victor Wembanyama on the floor together. They can negate offense in the post area, forcing each others team to take more shots from long range instead of going to the basket.

Official Play: Over 222.50

Side Bet: Dame Lillard over 22.5 points

Hail Mary: Spurs +5.5
