Milwaukee Bucks vs Washington Wizards Free Pick
NBA betting trends predict Milwaukee to cover on Tuesday, as Antetokounmpo, Holiday, and Lopez will lead the way for a focused and hungry Bucks squad. Washington has given up and won’t be able to keep up with Milwaukee over four quarters with their limited roster; while they did cover Sunday against the Knicks, their shooting efficiency in the first half won’t be nearly as strong against the Bucks on Tuesday. As such, Washington may find itself in an impossible hole against these determined adversaries.
Free Pick: Milwaukee Bucks -13.5 (-110)
