NBA Same Game Multi Tips
Here are my NBA same game multi tips for the Bucks against the Thunder.
- 1st Leg – Thunder -5.5: The Bucks are struggling to cover at home, going just 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games. In their last 9 games, they’ve only covered in 3 of 9 as well. Meanwhile, the Thunder have thrashed the Bucks in the last 2 meetings by over 15 pts.
- 2nd Leg – Under 224.5: The Under has a perfect 6-0 record when these two sides meet in Milwaukee. The Thunder’s defence should be tough to score against, highlighted by them allowing just 104 pts against the Cavs last time out. They also allowed just 98 pts in their last road game.
