Mavericks vs Bucks Prediction

The current betting odds have the Bucks listed as a 6 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Bucks have looked really good to start the season this year as they have the 2nd best record in the NBA right now and have been crushing teams all year. They are 13-5 this season and they have been even better in their home games with a 10-2 record this season and a lot of blowout wins there already. They are going toe-to-toe with the Celtics in the Eastern Conference right now and this is going to be a battle between them all season for the number 1 seed in the East. The Mavericks haven't been that great in their games this year, they are above .500 this season but only at 9-8 as they have been very up and down in their games. They will have to bring their best effort if they want to win this game on the road in Milwaukee where the Bucks have been so good this year and even then it might not be enough to make this a close game with how good the Bucks have been. There is too much inconsistency on a nightly basis with this Mavericks team while the Bucks have been very consistent and reliable all season, especially when playing on their home court. The best way to place a bet here is on the Bucks to cover the spread in this game.
 
Mavericks Bucks Prediction:  Our NBA Pick for Sunday, November 27, 2022 (8:00 pm ET start time) is Bucks 124 Mavericks 115.

Notable Quotes

 
“We still have the lead. We just came out flat in the third. They took advantage of that, took control of the game.” - Jason Kidd after his team’s loss against the Nuggets in their game on Sunday.
 
 
“We had a little bit of luck on our side and were able to knock down some shots and get downhill and were able to get that momentum and keep it going. I think it started from our guards defending the pick-and-roll and Brook (Lopez) just contesting every shot on the defensive end.” - Giannis Antetokounmpo after their win against the Cavaliers in their game on Friday.
