Two Game 5’s tonight in what could and should be series ending wins for heavy favorites. For the Bucks the bigger issue going forward may be the health of Khris Middleton with a possible two week time table and the Boston Celtics waiting for a second round matchup. At -900 money line and -12.5 points the guys in the desert are hardly giving anything for free. Milwaukee won both games in Chicago by 20 + and the first two games were a 7 point win and a Bulls win. I look for the Bucks to close things out most likely tonight and it’ll pretty much be up to them how much they win by unless they just have an off night.
The Warriors have to made things look like they plan on competing for the Western Conference. They too a heavy -400 and -8.5 favorite. Two of the three wins have come by double digits and with the season on the line you can expect a maximum effort by the Nuggets to extend their season. I think the Warriors win but by how much who really knows.
You can try your luck with the spread or you can try a money line parlay of the Bucks and Warriors which will get you to -270 to win a hundred. Of course you may have a shot to get a better line on live betting but pregame wagering that -270 seems like the “safest play” that’s both favorites to win outright with no points.
