I've watched and cashed on both of these teams quite a bit recently, so I feel I have a pretty strong grasp on how this game is going to play out. Evidence:
Milwaukee had a team meeting yesterday in which they discussed the character of their team and they quality of their play. They are coming off back to back losses and are playing at home today. These are both indications that this team is going to bring a high level of energy to the game tonight (credit to bigjah for discovering the A1 system).
However, I feel that the Bucks "A game" isn't even good enough to cover -9.5 against the clippers "C game". With Reddick back, the clips have been playing at an incredibly high level, winning their last two road games. They had a poor defensive showing their last game against the raptors and still covered the +1 spread. Any tier 1 team that let's Terrance Ross 51 drop on them is going to come out with a strong defensive mindset next game. Clippers rank 9th in the league in DefRt at 104.5 but have allowed an average of 106.5 points in the last two games.
Clippers are shooting lights out their past two games shooting an eFG% of 61.9% against the raptors, and 62.5% against the bulls. They rank 3rd in the league in Off Rating at 110.4 PPG. The bucks are dead last in OffRt at 98.2ppg and are 25th overall in DefRt at 108.3. I have also read that many bucks players have had the flu as of late, which is not something you shake off easily when playing back to backs.
Reddick has been extremely hot as of late and I don't see anyone on Milwaukee besides maybe the Greek Freak slowing him down. Look for Blake and DeAndre to have another strong game against an ailing John Henson and a Larry Sanders who has been mediocre and foul prone all season.
I've already placed a sizable wager on this game,but I just wanted to get some feedback before I max bet it. I was expecting the line to move a lot more overnight and it really hasn't budged so I'm curious to hear some thoughts from the people.
