The Milwaukee Bucks (7-0) visit the Minnesota Timberwolves (4-4) at Target Center, beginning at 10:00 PM ET on Friday, November 4, 2022. The Bucks are 3-point favorites in the game. The over/under is set at 227 points for the matchup.
Starting the season 7-0 is very impressive, but what may be more shocking is that the Bucks have done so without All-Star forward Khris Middleton. Last season, Middleton was their second-leading scorer with 20.1 points per game.
No, Middleton, no problem.
The Bucks have a winning margin of 11.3 points per game through their first seven games. The headline is Giannis Antetokounmpo, averaging a career-high 33.6 points per game and a 36.9% usage rate, which both rank second in the league behind Luka Doncic.
They said that trading most of your first-round picks for Rudy Gobert would be fun. Well, the Timberwolves haven’t had much fun to start the season. Despite having an easy schedule, they are 4-4 and are three-point home underdogs against Milwaukee.
The biggest concern for the Timberwolves is playing Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns together. When both are on the floor simultaneously, the Timberwolves have a 103.9 Offensive Rating, which would be third worst in the league behind the Lakers and Clippers. Minnesota needs to stagger the Gobert-Towns minutes so D’Angelo Russell and Anthony Edwards can have more room to operate.
Betting on a talented home underdog is always intriguing, but the Timberwolves are tough to get behind, especially in this matchup. So, let’s go back to the road favorite.
Rather than taking an angle with the total, I’m much more comfortable putting my money behind the best player in the league. Take the Bucks now and if Gobert and/or Edwards get ruled out, take them up to -5.
Milwaukee Bucks win -3 (-110)
