PASS.
There is minimal value on the Spurs (-300) to handle the Bucks at home on Thursday.
LEAN SPURS -7.5 (-115).
The Spurs have covered the spread in 3 of their last 4 games and in 2 of their last 3 at home. With a nearly healthy team, they are trying to return to their early-season status before Wembanyama became injured.
The Bucks have failed to cover in 5 of their last 7 and seem to be struggling with their team chemistry, being booed by their home crowd in Tuesday’s loss.
BET UNDER 225.5 (-115).
The Bucks have hit the Under in 3 of their last 5 games and in 3 of their last 4 on the road, and have 105, 104 and 106 over their last 3 games overall. They have allowed 108 or fewer points in 3 of their last 5.
The Spurs have scored 110 or fewer points in each of their last 6, hitting the under each time. The Under has also cashed in 9 of their last 10 overall.
