TOM STRYKER’S FREE BASKETBALL SELECTION MONDAY, MARCH 4TH
#504 MILWAUKEE (-5′) over LA Clippers at 8 PM EST
On a roll off five straight wins and covers, Milwaukee will have no trouble running past this overachieving Los Angeles squad under the Monday night lights. The Clippers enter this non-conference matchup without rest and off a pair of SU and ATS wins over the Wizards and Timberwolves, and this is going to be a tough spot for head coach Tyronn Lue and his crew.
A quick peek at the History Book shows that the Bucks have played well in this series lately inking a respectable 7-2 SU (4-4-1 ATS) record in the last nine meetings. Equally impressive, at home facing a foe in the second of a back-to-back, the Deer have posted a stunning 17-0 SU and 10-7 ATS tally including a spotless 6-0 SU and ATS provided they are priced as a short favorite of -7 or less. Finally, when hosting a team that arrives off a straight up road dog upset win, Milwaukee holds a reliable 31-7 SU and 26-12 ATS mark including a phenomenal 29-3 SU and 26-6 ATS provided it is rolling with three days of rest or less.
This isn’t the best wagering spot for LA either. As a non-division guest checking in with momentum off two or more straight up wins, the Clippers hold a soft 74-107-6 ATS mark provided they enter with a team won/loss percentage of .501 or better. In this situation priced as an underdog or a short favorite of -1.5 or less, Los Angeles holds a feeble 33-66-3 ATS tally including a disturbing 28-62-3 ATS provided its opponent is not off a blowout loss of 15 points or more. Finally, when matched up against a foe that holds a team won/loss percentage of .625 or better, Coach Lue and his troops carry a soft 4-20 SU and 6-17-1 ATS record provided their opponent enters off a blowout victory of 10 points or more.
Head coach Doc Rivers has the Bucks firing on all cylinders right now and they’ll do a number against a team he used to work for from 2013-2020. Take Milwaukee. Thanks and best of luck, Tom.
