Milwaukee Under (178') for 2 Units
This series has gone "under" in 4 of the last 5 meetings and we still see value with the "under" here. Two defensive minded coaches in Skiles and Thibodeau have been consistent in playing solid defense. As for Skiles, he lost a key offensive weapon in Brandon Jennings and points have been at a premium for Milwaukee virtually all year. Thibodeau has made an impact in instilling his defensive philosophy brought over from Boston, as the Bulls are one of the top defenses in the NBA allowing just 89.6 ppg. Moreover, they're allowing just 83.8 ppg at home this season. And the numbers add up to what should be a lower scoring game tonight: Chicago is 5-15 O/U at home against a team with a losing road record; they're 7-20 O/U off a SU win, and 8-20 O/U on 1 day of rest. The Bucks are 1-4 O/U off a 10+ point loss and 5-13 O/U vs the NBA Central. "Under" it is.
