Milwaukee Bucks Betting Preview
The Milwaukee Bucks postseason did not go as planned last season. They were eliminated in the first round of the NBA Playoffs by the Miami Heat, which has prompted some significant changes for the organization ahead of the 2023-24 season. Under new head coach Adrian Griffin, and with new point guard Damian Lillard, the Bucks will look to get back to the top of the mountain when this season is done.

Milwaukee Bucks Picks, Predictions & Betting News
Offseason Transactions
Key Additions: Damian Lillard, Malik Beasley, Robin Lopez, Cameron Payne
Key Departures: Jrue Holiday, Grayson Allen, Jevon Carter, Joe Ingles, Wes Matthews, Jordan Nwora
This offseason was an active one for the Milwaukee Bucks, as they turned their roster upside down to pair Damian Lillard with Giannis Antetokounmpo. One has to wonder how replacing Jrue Holiday with Lillard will impact the Bucks defensively. But one thing is for sure, and that is the fact that the Bucks will be difficult to defend with Giannis and Lillard on the floor at the same time.
Positives & Negatives
The biggest positive for the Bucks coming into this season is the fact that they have so many scoring options in crunch time situations. The trio of Giannis, Lillard, and Khris Middleton will create matchup nightmares for a team that struggled late in games down the stretch last season.
With that said, there are some serious concerns about the ability of the Bucks to get stops on defense late in games this coming season. While Antetokounmpo is an elite defender and athlete, he is joined on this roster by a bad defender in Lillard and a player in Middleton whose presence on the court is not always a given. It will be interesting to see how this team overcomes that concern as this season wears on.
2023-24 Milwaukee Bucks Win Total Prediction: Over 54.5 Wins
It is one of the more square season win total bets that we will make this season, but we will take the over for the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2023-24 season. Milwaukee’s offense will be hard for most opponents to match, and the Bucks should take advantage of declines for teams like the 76ers and Bulls in the Eastern Conference. It is entirely possible that this team hits the 60-win mark in the regular season, though we are less convinced about their ability to win a title.
