Dallas Mavericks vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction: The Bucks are tough away from home

NBA is on and what a fantastic season we are witnessing. Anyway, soon we may see a host of trades soon as teams look to shore up the scene. In this NBA Regular Season game, the Dallas Mavericks are going to take on the Milwaukee Bucks in this cross-Conference battle.

Dallas Mavericks

The Mavericks come into this game after nabbing a close 116:115 win against the Denver Nuggets as Dorian Finney-Smith hit a late three. Tim Hardaway Jr. had 29 points to lead the effort and this was the most significant aspect of the win as someone not named Luka Doncic led the scoring effort. Tim has had a tough scoring season too so the last game was a welcome change.

Mostly the amazing Doncic has been aided by Spencer Dinwiddie and Christian Wood but lately, Tim has scored 20+ in multiple games in one of his most productive scoring windows of his career. After a brief fall, the Mavericks have recovered with a three-game winning streak which has improved the record to 13 wins and 11 losses. Let us see how they proceed from here.

Milwaukee Bucks

The Bucks come into this game after defeating the Kings 126:113 as Giannis Antetokounmpo drilled 35 points. They have won three in a row away from home and have an impressive 18 wins and six losses record. They began the season with a nine-game winning streak and after recovering from injuries, their major players have once again propelled the team to high rankings.

Giannis Antetokounmpo remains the high-yielding all-around performer and has been getting it going on both ends, being an MVP candidate for sure. Jrue Holiday remains the prolific two-way Guard player whereas Brook Lopez has rather upped his production in the twilight of his career. Khris Middleton remains a crucial presence as stretch-Forward whereas Bobby Portis is having a solid season.

Expert Betting Tips

Despite being on a three-game winning streak, the Mavs’ confidence can take a hit going up against the Bucks. However, lately, the team’s offense has been more than about Luka Doncic and Tim Hardaway’s improved production has been a big influence. With the way Bucks are playing, considering Giannis Antetokounmpo’s relentless drive and the Mavs may lose the Forward match-up by a distance. I believe the Mavs will close the deal here though and win a close one 110:106
