Milwaukee Bucks vs Dallas Mavericks Betting Picks & Predictions

Game outlook

Milwaukee is on the road playing Dallas at the American Airlines Center stadium on Friday, 12/9/2022 @ 10:00pm EST. Milwaukee -1 was the opening favorite and line hasn't moved.

Get your popcorn ready - Giannis vs Luka These two clashed in Milwaukee at the end of November, with the Bucks coming out on top 124-115. This is to be expected since the Mavs struggle on the road, so the Bucks must be at their best tonight if they are to sweep the series. They are currently on a 3-game win streak and have won 6 of their last 7 games. Their road record in this season is also 6-3 SU. In the last 19 regular season games played at Dallas, the team has recorded just four wins. What is also interesting is that these teams have split the regular season series in the last two seasons.

They've won 10 games in 13 games when playing at home. Recently, they defeated the Phoenix Suns 130-111, so they didn't leave much room for error. A tight win over Denver on the road has put them on a 3-game win streak here. In the first meeting of the season, Doncic scored 27 points and 12 assists, somewhat modestly compared to his usual nightly numbers. He’s averaging close to 35 points at home, so I’m expecting him to increase his scoring output here. Dallas has 9 wins in 11 home games, they’ve covered only once in 9 vs East teams, but with the spread being set at just 1 point I wouldn’t put too much weight into that number.

Milwaukee Betting

With a power ranking of 4, Milwaukee is ranked #15 in offense (scoring an average of 112.57 per game), #3 in defense (allowing an average of 107.78 points to be scored against them per game) and are 18-6 (14-9-1 ATS) this season.
