This is a 10* EASTERN-CONFERENCE GAME OF THE YEAR on the Milwaukee Bucks.

I jumped on this line the second it came out and got +3.5 and while it's since gone the other way (is +5 as of writing this analysis), I still love this selection and while I obviously feel that the outright win isn't out of the question, I will in the end recommend grabbing as many points as you can as I expect the Bucks to at the very least, sneak in through the back door with the handful of points they've been afforded tonight. This is a triple revenge spot for Milwaukee as well as Chicago has taken the first three. I also think this sets up as a bit of a mental letdown spot for the visitors who come into this game having won three straight. While the Bulls are rolling, the Bucks are stumbling, dropping eight of their last ten and holding onto sixth spot in the East. In my opinion, desperation breeds motivation and I think the home side is set to keep this one competitive; one player to keep your eyes on is Milwaukee's Michael Carter-Williams who has averaged 12.8 points in 17 games since coming over to the Bucks. And from a trend based stand point, this play is about as strong as you could possibly ask for as note that the Bucks are 9-5 ATS this year after a loss by ten points or more, 8-5 ATS vs. division opponents and 26-19 ATS in revenging a loss vs. an opponent, while Chicago is just 1-2 ATS this season when playing with three or more days of rest, just 2-5 ATS after allowing 85 points or less, only 10-16 ATS after scoring 105 points or more and just 3-8 ATS after three or more consecutive SU victories. In my opinion, the situation, the numbers and the trends do all indeed point to MILWAUKEE as the sharp move in this contest.
