Bucks vs. Thunder: Prediction, point spread, odds, best bet

The Oklahoma City Thunder play the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, money line odds and over/under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet at BetMGM.

The game starts at 7 p.m. CT and can be seen on Bally Sports.

This is a quick rematch between the teams after playing on Saturday. The Bucks (9-1) won that game against the Thunder (4-6) relatively easily despite playing without Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton.

This time Antetokounmpo is expected to play.

  • Point spread: Bucks -6.5
  • Money line: Bucks -300 / Thunder +240
  • Over-under: 219.5

Bucks at Thunder notable injuries

Thunder: Chet Holmgren is out due to foot surgery. Aleksej Pokusevski is questionable due to shoulder bursitis.

Bucks: Giannis Antetokounmpo is probable due to knee soreness. Jrue Holiday is doubtful due to an ankle sprain. Khris Middleton is out due to wrist ligament surgery. Joe Ingles is out due to ACL surgery. Pat Connaughton is out due to a calf strain.

Advice and prediction

Over the past several seasons, the Bucks have had the Thunder’s number — winning four consecutive games including three by double digits. I expect that trend to continue on Wednesday.

It’s not a coincidence Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had his worst game of the season against the Bucks. In eight career games against the Bucks, Gilgeous-Alexander averaged 19.3 points on 42.9% shooting.

The Bucks’ length and defensive talent is specially designed to stop a player with Gilgeous-Alexander’s scoring profile of attacking the paint and being a drive-heavy scorer.

The Bucks easily cover the spread and should go over the over-under.

Prediction: Bucks 117, Thunder 99
