Giannis Antetokounmpo continues to lead Milwaukee, while Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo headline the Timberwolves’ attack. Both teams trend toward high-scoring contests, combining to average 232.8 points per game, slightly above the posted total.

Best Bet for Bucks vs Timberwolves

Best Bet: Timberwolves +3.5 (-110) Book: Best price at DraftKings

Our best bet for Bucks vs Timberwolves is Timberwolves +3.5 (-110) against the spread.

Minnesota has been strong offensively, averaging nearly 120 points per game, and has covered in three of four games as underdogs of 3.5 points or more. Milwaukee has struggled ATS at home (8–10) and has hit the over in just 37.5% of games this season.

With Anthony Edwards sidelined, Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo will shoulder the scoring load, but Minnesota’s depth and pace give them value to cover. Given recent form and scoring trends, we’re backing the Timberwolves to stay within the number.

Same-Game Parlay Picks for Bucks vs Timberwolves

Leg 3: Giannis Antetokounmpo 10+ rebounds
