Milwaukee is still outside the play-in spots, but the supporting cast has rallied impressively lately. The Bucks are 7-3 SU in their last 10 games – and they’ve covered the spread in each of those victories.
But this pick is equally about Chicago’s miserable form. With a growing injury report and an eye on the draft, the Bulls are 1-9 ATS in their past 10 outings. Milwaukee leads the season series 3-0, with all of those wins coming by a margin of 9+ points, and I’m laying the points with the visitors, who’ve picked up three straight Ws on their travels.

Oklahoma City has covered four of its last five and continues to play with energy on both ends. The Thunder force turnovers, push tempo, and keep scoring even when the bench is in. With Dallas thin and struggling to defend consistently, OKC is in a good spot to win comfortably and cover the number.
