Let’s check the latest NBA odds, stats, injury reports, and NBA lines for Bucks vs Spurs. We’ve plenty of NBA betting odds for you to consider.
Role Players Show up for Bucks
The injuries to Antetokounmpo and Holiday could not have come at a worse time, as the Bucks had just suffered their first loss against the Atlanta Hawks. They had begun the season on a nine-game win streak and were in jeopardy of losing two straight.
However, Jevon Carter had something to say about that. Before the game against the Thunder, he averaged 5.3 points and 1.9 assists per game. Carter ended the Thunder game with 36 points and 12 assists, playing 45 minutes. He wasn’t the only role player to step up, with Brook Lopez turning back the clock to his days with the Brooklyn Nets, scoring 24 points with 13 rebounds.
We know the Bucks are an outstanding team, but a win like this is impressive. It was a game without two of their top scorers, and they are still missing Khris Middleton, who has yet to play this season. To rebound after the first loss, without any All-Stars, and win a close tough game shows the ceiling of this team.
Spurs Step Back to Reality
The San Antonio Spurs 5-2 start was a shock to many people, but they seem to have reverted to reality as they are on a five-game losing streak. As the third-youngest team and with head coach Gregg Popovich saying they won’t be a team to bet on to win the NBA Finals, this is more of what people expected.
The loss to the Grizzlies was the closest game over the losing streak, as the Spurs pushed Memphis to the edge. Devin Vassell had a good look from three to win the game but missed. This five-game stretch has included a 42-point loss to the Toronto Raptors and a loss to the Denver Nuggets by 25.

However, the ball movement of the Spurs seems to be on its way back. They are again leading the league in assists per game (29.9) while the ball appears to swing from one side of the court to the other easily. It isn’t a sign of winning, but it shows that the Spurs have a chance to be competitive at times.

Bucks vs Spurs Picks & Prediction
With Antetokounmpo and Holiday’s health still uncertain, it would cause any bettor to pause, but based on their last game, it seems like the role players are more than ready to step up. However, as the teams are coming off games that went into overtime, this is a game that could easily go under the points total.
If the Bucks have at least one of their stars back, they should win. Without them, it will be much closer because of the Spurs’ ability to play a team with ball movement.
