The Wizards are coming into this game as an 11.5 point underdog with the current betting odds according to the bookmakers. The Wizards have not been playing well recently and they have been losing a lot of games as they have been slipping down the standings. They even blew a 35 point lead against the Clippers at home and they went on to lose that game by 1 point. They have to respond better to some of these losses and they should play a much better game here to try and stop some of the bleeding. The Bucks have not been playing well recently either and they have lost 2 of their last 3 games. Both of these teams have been struggling but enough is enough with the Wizards and they are bound to play a better game here and at least keep it close against a struggling Bucks team. The best bet to place in this game is on the Wizards to cover the spread here.
