Spurs vs. Bucks Preview
The San Antonio Spurs have been the best team in the league over the past two weeks with a spotless 7-0 record. They are third defensively with a 123.7 rating and fourth on defense with a 107.0 rating. Victor Wembanyama’s MVP-caliber display on both ends of the floor seems unmatched for any of his rivals at the moment, and the Milwaukee Bucks, without Giannis Antetokounmpo, won’t have neutralisers for the 7-foot-4 star.
Milwaukee doesn’t have much going its way at the moment, only making matters worse. It’s on a two-game skid and has won only two of its last 10 games. Five of their prominent rotation players are either out or questionable to face the Spurs. It would be surprising if the Bucks can hang on for more than 2.5 quarters.
Spurs vs. Bucks Betting Tips
Victor Wembanyama is favored to score under 25.5 points.

Devin Vassell is favored to make under 2.5 3-pointers.
