Milwaukee Bucks vs San Antonio Spurs: Current situation
Two steps forward, one step back – that’s how we can describe the Milwaukee Bucks season so far. At 18-16 they currently occupy 5th place in the Eastern Conference, well below expectations but still a lot better than where they were about a month go. With the surging Pacers and Pistons behind them on 3 and 4 game win streaks, pressure is now on the Bucks to go on a run of their own to preserve their spot in the Eastern Conference playoff race.
At .500 through 36 games is a relatively okay result for this young San Antonio Spurs team. Adding veterans like Chris Paul and Harrison Barnes has done wonders for the confidence of the young stars. In particular Victor Wembanyama has blossomed into a Defensive Player of the Year candidate, it won’t be too long until he is also in the MVP conversation. The only thing missing right now is a 2nd superstar to pair up with him and the Spurs will be well on their way.
Milwaukee Bucks Stats & Form
Milwaukee comes off a much needed 128-104 win at Toronto on Monday night. Surprisingly, Giannis Antetokounmpo had just 11 points in the win, but he was able to notch a triple-double with 12 rebounds and 13 assists. Damian Lillard was the high point man with 25, but the Bucks got a massive help from their bench as 63 points were scored by the reserves. The win could have been even bigger as Milwaukee led by as many as 33 points in that game.
San Antonio Spurs Stats & Form
San Antonio suffered another disappointing defeat on Monday as they fell 114-110 on the road to the Chicago Bulls. It was their 2nd consecutive defeat, combined with Minnesota’s win they fell down to the 10th position in the Western Conference. After Wednesday’s game the Spurs will face the Lakers in back-to-back games in LA, followed by a double-header against Memphis at home.
Milwaukee Bucks vs San Antonio Spurs: Head-to-Head
Milwaukee has enjoyed 6 wins over the last 10 meetings head-to-head, however from a bettors perspective it made more sense to back San Antonio to cover as they went 8-2 ATS during that stretch. This will be the 100th regular season meeting between the Bucks and Spurs, San Antonio holds a slight edge with 53 wins to 46 by the Bucks. Last year we saw Giannis and co. win both regular season meetings, increasing their streak to 3 wins in a row in head-to-head games.

Betting tip and prediction: Milwaukee Bucks vs San Antonio Spurs (08.01.2025)
Three-point shooting will make all the difference in Wednesday’s game. The Spurs have really cooled off from distance, converting on just 31.5% of their attempts over the last 3 games. Meanwhile, the Bucks are one of the most prolific shooting teams in the league, they’re shooting the three-ball at 38.8% this season. Only the league leading Cleveland Cavaliers are better than them in this area, we just saw the Bucks convert on 22-of-44 attempts in Monday’s win over Toronto. Stopping Victor Wembanyama will be a difficult task, the Spurs alien is averaging 29.5 points per game over his last 10. Wemby is also doing it on the defensive end averaging 5 blocks per game during this stretch, he just had 8 of them in the loss to Chicago on Monday night. If the paint is closed off, expect Milwaukee to rely more on their three-point shooting, so players like Damian Lillard could be in for a huge scoring night here. Milwaukee has been a reliable bet vs San Antonio in home games, winning 6 of the last 7. They are also 4-1 SU in their last 5 games played on a Wednesday, so let’s back the trends here and go with Milwaukee to cover the spread.
