Milwaukee Bucks

The Greek Freak put on a show during Friday’s Game 3 against the Celtics, scoring 32 points, pulling down 13 rebounds and dishing out eight assists in the 123-116 Bucks win.Milwaukee’s depth was on full display, Eric Bledsoe and Brook Lopez combining to score just 16 points. The Bucks received a huge boost from George Hill (21 points) and Pat Connaughton (14 points) off the bench.

Betting Knowledge:

ATS- Against The Spread

Betting against the spread is a good betting strategy when the point spread is low, or the bettor believes the team they are betting on can beat their opponent by at least the point spread advertised. If the bettor believes the team will win big, betting against the spread will result in a huge payout. An example of betting against the spread would be if a wager that the Boston Celtics (-7) would beat the Indiana Pacers (+7). That means the Celtics would have to win by more than 7 points for the individual to win his bet.
