Milwaukee Bucks get set to take on the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday night in Dallas. A one-day trip to Dallas feels absolutely fucking unnecessary, but that’s the league for you sometimes. Milwaukee is coming off a win against the Houston Rockets while the Dallas Mavericks have won three of their last five games. The Milwaukee Bucks are favored by 3.5 points, and the over/under is 209.5. In the last few years, the Bucks struggled against Dallas losing three of their last four, but this Mavericks team is a little different than what was seen in the past few years.

THINGS TO NOTE BEFORE WAGERING
-This will also be the first matchup between Dallas’ and former Bucks’ coach Jason Kidd and his old team. The revenge angle will not be there as much since Giannis Antetokounmpo will not be playing in this one but Khris Middleton does have that angle.
– In the last five games, the Milwaukee Bucks’ NET rating is 17th, and for Dallas, it’s 4th. NET rating combines the offensive and defensive rating and it’s a good way to tell who is good and who isn’t at this current moment.
– Luka Doncic and Giannis Antetokounmpo are both in health and safety protocols along with a few other players such as Bobby Portis, Trey Burke, Maxi Kleiber. Grayson Allen has been sick but could potentially play tonight.

SHOULD YOU BET THE BUCKS?
Yes, I would. Three points are pretty short for a Bucks team that has Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday. They looked really good last night against a weak Houston team, so, it would not surprise me if they come out with a fury again tonight. Dallas has one starter locked in for this year and may have Kristaps Porzingis. While the Zinger could go off, Bucks should have the depth to cover the three.

SHOULD YOU GO OVER OR UNDER
Take the under here. Dallas has been an under team all season (10-18-2). Milwaukee is also an under team this season too (13-20). Mavericks have seen their game goes under in eight of their last 10 games, and the Bucks have gone under in four of their last six games. 209.5 is a short number and that’s probably why. Do not bet this if it goes to 208.5 or something like that.

OFFICAL BETS
Bucks -3 & Under 210 (Buying the point).
