The Bucks won the first meeting against the Spurs this season, 121-105, thanks to impressive performances from Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard, and Brook Lopez.
Bucks vs Spurs Prediction
It makes sense why the BetUS sportsbook will back the Bucks in this game. Even though they are coming off a rough 125-112 loss, some factors contributed to that. Overall, the Bucks have played well, with nine wins in their last 12 games. They should win this matchup, but the Spurs can keep it close on their home court. Bucks win 121-119.

Bucks vs Spurs Best 3 NBA Player Props Today
1. Giannis Antetokounmpo Rebounds Over 13.5 (-106)
In the last meeting, Antetokounmpo feasted on the glass. He finished with 16 rebounds, and is averaging 12.2 per game this season.
There is a good chance something like that will happen again. The loss to the Trail Blazers was fueled by playing three games in four days. Now the Bucks have had two days off, which can rejuvenate some tired legs. While that did not affect Antetokounmpo much – he still grabbed 12 rebounds, he should be in for another strong game.
2. Stephon Castle Over 13.5 Points (-121)
Stephon Castle is starting to separate himself in NBA news as the possible Rookie of the Year in a class lacking top-level talent. Although his season has been inconsistent, he is starting to hit a rhythm.

Castle was moved into the starting lineup the last time the Spurs faced the Bucks. While he struggled in that game, scoring only five points, he started in each of the next seven games and averaged 18.
3. Damian Lillard Threes Over 3.5 -108
Like with Antetokounmpo, the rest the Bucks will have over the last two days will help Lillard. He has played great in the last 10 games, averaging 26.9 points, since scoring 26 against the Spurs. A big part of that has been his 3-point shooting, attempting 8.9 3s per game, with a 38.2% percentage on them. In the last win over the Spurs, Lillard took seven 3s and made four.
Bucks vs Spurs Moneyline Pick: Bucks -145
Based on how these teams have performed lately, it makes sense to back the Bucks. The Spurs have two wins in their last 10 games, while Milwaukee has won nine of 12.That is a big factor in deciding the winner.
In the last meeting, the Bucks had a clear plan to slow down the Spurs’ star player, Victor Wembanyama, who struggled. It might not be to the same extent in this game after Wembanyama went 4 for 10 from the field and scored 10 points, but the Bucks’ defense will do enough to win. Plus, they are rested.
Bucks vs Spurs Spread Pick: Spurs +3
Despite that, the Spurs have a chance to cover the NBA spread. Even though the Spurs have only covered twice in the last 10 games, the Bucks just lost to an opponent they should not have beaten. That was also Castle’s first game back in the starting lineup in a while. The Spurs may not have all the stats to back it up, but they are playing well, making them an interesting option to cover the spread.
Bucks vs Spurs Over/Under Pick: Over 233
On the other hand, the stats support the NBA pick to go with the over in this game. Over the last 10 games, the Bucks have hit the over eight times, while the Spurs have done so seven times. Outside of Wembanyama, who could win Defensive Player of the Year, the Spurs’ defense lacks polish. Then there are the Bucks, who have allowed 125 points or more in two of the last three games.
