This is a 10* on OVER

Milwaukee is on a real roll right now and seems poised to take control of the Eastern Conference for a third straight regular season. Wednesday’s 110-101 win in Detroit was the team’s third straight and sixth victory in the last seven games. Tonight presents a challenge though as they host a Dallas team that’s won and covered four straight. Expect lots of points from this matchup. While recent games - for both teams - have been a little lower-scoring than usual, look at who they’ve faced. The Bucks have played Detroit three times in the last six games while also facing Orlando and Cleveland. Dallas just faced Orlando and Charlotte. The Bucks are averaging 122.8 points/game at home and that average, if hit here, should ensure an Over by itself. You have to figure the Mavs are going to exceed 100 points as well as they’ve done so in all but two games, both of which were at home. The two times these teams played last year, there were 236 and 268 combined points scored (Dallas actually won both!). We don’t need that many, but the Mavs and Bucks are certainly capable of producing a game like that yet again. The Over is 22-4 the Bucks’ last 26 games vs. an opponent that has a winning record (Mavs are currently 6-4). Play on OVER
