Washington at Milwaukee

Even with Giannis Antetokounmpo and newcomer Myles Turner, the Bucks are coming into the season as a middle-of-the-road team. There is no Damian Lillard and Khris Middleton anymore. Instead, the Bucks have to rely on a thin backcourt and the hope that Kyle Kuzma plays better. Don't hold your breath on that. Antetokounmpo is a top-five player, but he is surrounded by inconsistency, and the Bucks are going to be careful with his minutes, especially with road games against the Raptors and Cavaliers on deck. A slow start looms for the Bucks, so taking this many points with the Wizards makes sense. Yes, the Wizards are in year three of yet another rebuilding phase. However, they currently have a combination of veterans, including CJ McCollum and Khris Middleton, alongside a high number of young players with upside. Take the Wizards to cover.
