Free NBA Picks — Bucks vs Timberwolves
For this game, I think the best bet is going to be the OVER. When factoring in that both of these teams have the fifth and sixth-best offensive rating in the NBA, and middle-of-the-pack defensive ratings, I can’t imagine that this game doesn’t go OVER.
I would suggest putting money on the Bucks to win outright and for this game to go OVER.
Giannis Antetokounmpo to have over 25-plus points is also never a bad idea. Considering that Karl Anthony-Towns isn’t the best rim protector, it could be a good idea to put some money on Giannis to have those points.
