NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the Bucks to cover:
"These teams just met on Tuesday and the Pacers won on a miracle four-point play. This is an easy handicap. It's Bucks or pass for me. The loser of the previous meeting during the same week often covers or wins the second matchup and the Bucks have plenty of motivation."
