Bucks vs Wizards NBA Preview, Spread Pick
Wizards -4.5 (-105)
I just think the Bucks are truly awful. There’s some talent, and I like coach Taylor Jenkins. But their roster doesn’t fit together and there will be too many rookies.
The Wizards aren’t great, but this is a night for new beginnings with AJ Dybantsa (although he will miss tonight's opener due to an ankle injury) and the veterans they traded for.
If I could bet Kyshawn George over +2.5 plus-minus, I would.
Pick: Wizards -4.5 (-105)
Bucks vs Wizards Player Prop Bet
Trae Young Double-Double (-118)
Trae Young is a walking 11 dimes. He’s just too good as a passer and he has two lob threats and multiiple spacers.
I’m more worried about the points but with his usage, he’ll get there.
Pick: Trae Young Double-Double (-118)
