Pistons at Bucks: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Bucks 124, Pistons 102
Money line (ML)
The Bucks (-1600) are as big of money line favorites as you will ever see in the NBA. Despite Milwaukee being just 3-3 on the season, they are obviously the more talented team in this game. They’ve also won 10 straight games against Detroit and this should turn into a blowout sooner rather than later.
With the Bucks being such big favorites, there isn’t enough value on the money line to place a bet. Instead, PASS in favor of the point spread.
Against the spread (ATS)
The BUCKS -15.5 (-115) are double-digit favorites over the Pistons on Monday night and yet, it still doesn’t feel like enough points. Milwaukee is averaging 124.5 points per game on offense this season, while Detroit has one of the NBA’s worst defenses. This should be a really ugly game from the start and one that could easily turn into a 20 or 30 point win for the Bucks.
The Pistons have failed to cover the spread in their last nine games against the Bucks. These two teams couldn’t be further apart from one another. Take the Bucks giving the points in this one.
Over/Under (O/U)
Milwaukee will have to do most of the heavy lifting in this game in order for the OVER 224.5 (-115) to hit, but don’t be surprised if that’s the case. Look for the Bucks to score into the 120s.

The Sacramento Kings (3-3) visit the Golden State Warriors (3-3) Monday at 10 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Kings-Warriors NBA betting odds and lines, with picks and predictions.
Sacramento is coming off back-to-back losses at the Houston Rockets, falling 102-94 Saturday and 122-119 New Year’s Eve. PG De’Aaron Fox leads the Kings with 21.0 points, 6.2 assists and 1.7 steals per game, while PF Richaun Holmes is the top rebounder at 9.3 per game. Rookie PG Tyrese Haliburton (10.6 PPG, 4.4 APG), who sat out Saturday, isn’t expected to play Monday due to a wrist injury sustained in the first game against the Rockets.
Thanks to PG Stephen Curry’s career-high 62-points, Golden State had no problem with knocking off the Portland Trail Blazers 137-122 as a 4.5-point home underdog Sunday. Curry went 8-for-16 behind the 3-point line, 8-for-31 overall and 18-for-19 from the line. He finished just 2 points shy of Rick Barry’s franchise-record 64 points, which was set in 1974. The victory was a nice bounce-back game for the Warriors, who lost to the Trail Blazers 123-98 Friday in the opener of the two-game home set.
Sacramento swept last season’s series vs. Golden State 3-0, winning by margins of 21, 13 and 18. The Warriors had won the previous five vs. the Kings before that.

Kings at Warriors: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Kings 116, Warriors 109
Money line (ML)
AVOID. The Kings (-140) have the advantage of having Sunday off while the Warriors played the Trail Blazers. However, I’m PASSING on a wager here and focusing on the spread.
Against the spread (ATS)
SACRAMENTO -2.5 (-110) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1½ times your usual wager. Before the two-game losing trip to Houston, the Kings had defeated the Denver Nuggets twice during their 3-1 start to open the season. So, it’s no secret they’re a better team than the one that finished 31-41 last season.
Nba Spread Betting
If the Warriors hadn’t played Sunday, they’d actually be the lean here, but look for Golden State to run out of steam in the fourth quarter. We only need Sacramento to win by 3 or more points to cash a winning ticket in this one.
ATS records: Kings 4-2 | Warriors 2-4
Over/Under (O/U)
Back the UNDER 232.5 (-110). Sacramento averages 111.3 PPG; Golden State averages 113.0 PPG. A key matchup will be how Curry fares against the Kings’ 3-point defense, which ranks fifth in the league in allowing 32.9%.
Again, playing back-to-back nights will affect the Warriors in the second half this early in the season.
O/U records: Kings 3-3 | Warriors 3-3
