Milwaukee Bucks vs. San Antonio Spurs Betting Analysis
Milwaukee Bucks
The Bucks’ greatest strength in 2022 has been their consistency. They take care of business at both ends of the court and don’t take any plays off.
They feature a number of motivated role players willing to hustle around their primary players. Their defense often gets underrated but will be a talking point against San Antonio.
The Bucks enter this contest ranked second in blocks per game. Additionally, Milwaukee leads the NBA in rebounds per game.
Mediocre Shooting Efficiency
This helps make up for the mediocre shooting efficiency, as they are just 22nd in field goal percentage and 18th in three-point percentage.
The Bucks tend to wear opponents down. They aren’t like the Warriors, who can earn a win by hitting consistent shots. Milwaukee grinds for everything. Let Giannis do his thing and scores timely baskets.
Milwaukee won’t have an easy time covering the odds on Friday night. With that being said, they still fully expect to emerge victorious.
San Antonio Spurs
The Spurs are really struggling at the moment. It should be noted that their five-game losing streak has seen them deal with difficult NBA matchups.
They have lost to Toronto, the Clippers, Denver, and the Grizzlies during their recent stretch. And things will not get easier against the Bucks.
Spurs NBA Team Stats
Overall, San Antonio’s NBA team stats are not miserable by any means. The Spurs rank ninth in points per game, first in assists per game, 16th in field goal percentage, and seventh in three-point percentage.
San Antonio’s defense has question marks, and the offense isn’t dominant, but they have played better than advertised for the most part. But it will be interesting if they can snap out of their current skid sooner rather than later.
With Keldon Johnson and Jakob Poeltl leading the charge, the Spurs will aim to upset the odds in front of their home faithful.
NBA Injury Report
For Milwaukee, Giannis Antetokounmpo has been ruled out for Friday’s game due to a knee injury. He has posted some of the best NBA player stats in the league so far, and Milwaukee will certainly miss his presence.
Jrue Holiday will miss his second straight game on Friday as well due to an ankle injury. Holiday and Giannis’ absence will force bettors to strongly consider their Bucks betting prediction.
For the Spurs, it was recently revealed that Zach Collins would miss 2-4 weeks due to a leg injury.
