NBA : San Antonio Spurs vs Milwaukee Bucks Odds & Prediction

Game Info: January 8, 2025 9:30PM EST @ Fiserv Forum

While the San Antonio Spurs have cruised into this contest against the Milwaukee Bucks, both are teams that have been cloudy at best in recent games. Failing in many previous games, the Spurs witnessed defeat at the hands of Chicago and Denver to come better again recently with a solid win against Denver earlier in the same week. As far as the Bucks are concerned, they, at one time, have dominated by Toronto but went under the storm brought by Portland and Brooklyn. This table hardly promises to be an easy match because of all this inconsistent play on both sides; however, it conveys a good-pounded promise, as the Spurs have to be trying to shake off the dust while the Bucks try to power through their home form in their favor.
