NBA Regular Season 2023/24, Wednesday, 03.04.2024
With my hand bent at the chin, I scrolled through the various offers of the best sports betting apps over Easter to place promising basketball bets.
I would like to share a very special Wizards Bucks tip with you at this point.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is well on his way to claiming another MVP title and should therefore not miss the opportunity to break through the 30-point barrier once again against the Bullets!
Two green-and-white franchises currently lead the Eastern Conference, but ten wins already separate the Boston Celtics from the Bucks, who are in the thick of things.
Nonetheless, Milwaukee are currently playing great basketball and the fact that they have largely escaped nasty injuries this season is just as pleasing.
In any case, new head coach Doc Rivers had all but Damien Lillard at his disposal in last night’s 122-113 win over the Hawks and they should put in another strong performance tonight against the Wizards.
Heading into tonight, the Washington Wizards have had one less day than the Bucks to recover from the rigors of a 107-119 loss to the Heat.
Not the first defeat they’ve suffered at Capital One Arena. In fact, nobody else in the entire NBA knows less about home court advantage than the Bullets.
Only 6 of the 31 regular-season games in this small but fine basketball arena have gone to the hosts.
Added to this are the numerous personnel absences, which are responsible for the fact that Washington is only ahead of the long-term basement dweller Pistons (13-61) within its conference with a record of 14-61.
The list of Wizards’ absences for tonight is long, really long! About as long as the good reasons to get hold of a NEObet new customer bonus.
Coulibaly, Jones, Livers, Omoruyi and Shamet are definitely out tonight, while Holmes and Kuzma could also miss the tip-off due to somewhat minor ailments.
But despite the significant difference in quality that has separated the two franchises for years, the Wizards have managed to consistently make their presence felt on the opposing board since the start of the 2023 calendar year.
Keep in mind: In the seven head-to-head duels played during this period, Washington only won the first one on January 2, 2023, but scored at least 111 points per match against the Bucks without exception.
However, due to the many absences, I don’t think the Wizards will be able to hold on until the end this time, as was the case on November 25, when Milwaukee only narrowly prevailed 131-128.
Meanwhile, I expect another strong performance from one of the three players in the green and white who cracked the 30-point mark back then: Giannis Antetokounmpo (31).
The other two: Brook Lopez only managed 13 points against the Hawks the day before yesterday, while Damian Lillard is currently not in the Bucks’ lineup compared to then due to personal reasons.
All this should only make the Greek even more of a focus for his teammates tonight
Antetokounmpo should also break the 30-point barrier because he managed to do so against the Pelicans (35) and Hawks (36) in impressive back-to-back fashion anyway.
And the 29 points he scored immediately beforehand against the Lakers also deserve respect and recognition in view of the fact that the purple-and-golds had an Anthony Davis in top form at the five.
However, the Wizards don’t even come close to having a center in the backcourt comparable to what Los Angeles has with AD.
Meanwhile, there are no surprises in store for tonight in the betting bazaars of this world!
Because the bookmakers have called out Wizards Bucks odds in their sports betting apps, which, with average values of 7.50 to 1.07 in favor of the guests, should make it unmistakably clear to everyone that Milwaukee will win its seventh game in a row against the Bullets.
Conclusion: The Wizards are really banged up heading into tonight.
However, against all odds, they still usually find a way to be semi-dangerous offensively.
On the other hand, the spotlight should clearly be on Giannis Antetokounmpo this time.
Because with Lilliard out and Lopez no longer quite so dangerous offensively, the Greek should be able to put by far the most balls in the home side’s basket.
Main Wizards Bucks tip: Antetokounmpo scores over 34.5 points
