Milwaukee is 5-5 straight up the last 10 games, winning twice as a dog. They won at Oklahoma City, 97-95, as a +6.5 dog and won here in Washington, 110-103, as a +3.5 dog. They are solid from the charity stripe at 77.2% (#13) and face a Wizards squad that has had an up-and-down homestand. They are 2-2 on the homestand, losing to Utah (107-104) as an eight-point favorite, as well as losing to this Milwaukee squad as chalk. Washington is just #23 in the NBA from the free throw line. Washington has won the last two against a pair of the Eastern Conference's lesser squads, and they needed overtime to get past Brooklyn on Saturday as -9.5 chalk. In the most recent meeting, the Bucks won 110-103 in which Giannis Antetokounmpo had 34 points and 12 rebounds. Milwaukee shot 48.8% and won the battle of the boards 45-34, including 10-4 on the offensive glass. Play Milwaukee on the moneyline.
