In what will probably be their biggest challenge of the season so far, the Milwaukee Bucks look to stay undefeated as they take on the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight at Target Center. Tip-off is at 10 pm ET on ESPN, as soon as the Chicago Bulls vs Boston Celtics games finishes.
I've prepared a same game parlay for the Bucks vs Timberwolves game which is available below. Make sure you also check our NBA Predictions page for selections on all 12 Friday games.
Let's dive in.
Milwaukee Bucks -3.5 Point Spread (-110)
Pickwise handicapper Matt Wadleigh has the Bucks covering the spread here as a three-star pick and I have to say I agree with him. Milwaukee is playing fundamentally sound basketball and they are 1st in rebounds, 2nd in blocked shots, 11th in turnovers and 17th in points scored. It's hard to imagine them falling to Minnesota, even on the road. They've consistently covered the spread this season, doing so 6 times in the 7 games they've played so far. Giannis has 6 straight games of 30-plus points, and a Milwaukee win would earn the franchise its first ever 8-0 start. They are doing all this without Khris Middleton, we can only imagine how good they will be once he's back into the line-up. Against the Timberwolves they've got 12 wins in the last 16 meetings and with the home team potentially being without both Rudy Gobert and Anthony Edwards, the Bucks should win this game fairly easily at Target Center.
