Betting Trends for vs

Houston G Eric Gordon is dealing with right knee soreness and will not be re-evaluated until the end of the week. These two squads are tied for third in the league in offensive efficiency, so the over is a solid play. Houston’s run has been impressive, but a more balanced Milwaukee team will take care of business on Wednesday. Final Score Prediction, Milwaukee Bucks win and cover ATS 117-111.
