Warriors vs. Bucks Odds & Betting Predictions - February 11, 2025

Buckets Best Bet

Don’t think books are capturing playmaking upside I saw vs. CHI. Kerr aligned his minutes in his debut to check out early in Q1 so this way he can play and lead the offense in the non-Curry minutes. He had 4 assists on 14 potentials that game, and when he plays tonight vs. MIL, the paint should be a lot softer in minutes when he’s without Brook Lopez for paint protection. #PlayerProps

Projecting this closer to 12 assuming Damian Lillard plays (he’s questionable at the moment). Kuzma has averaged 17 combined assist and rebound chances in his first two games with the Bucks. Assuming he sees a similar amount tonight vs GS he’d need to convert 80% to clear this number.

B. Portis ⬆️ 26.5 PR's (-115 @ BetRivers) THE BOUNCE 📽️: 27 PR's The projections don't see much value here, but the projections don't account for GRIT! Portis is a gamer man and when he gets the opportunity to start he tends to make a large impact on the game. No Giannis again tonight. Here's how he's done without Giannis on the court over his last 7: 31, 41, 40, 23, 26, 32 and 44 PR's. So he's been over in 5 of 7 and one of the unders was just under this mark. The matchup is solid too. GSW allows the 9th most rebounds per game this season. Portis will play a hybrid role tonight (center/PF) depending on when Lopez is on the floor. To centers, GSW has allowed the 7th most rebounds per game and 4th most points to opposing PF's. Portis is a go getter as a rebounder. If you look at his last 3 games, he's averaging 22 rebound chances per game about 35% are contested. He's going to pick up most contested rebs bc he's aggressive. Bobby is one of my favorite players in the NBA and I'm happy to back him tonight.
