Wemby won't play tonight so we'll have to wait on the next matchup vs. Giannis. The Spurs finally got a win last week when downing the Lake Show in San Antonio, but it ahs mostly been a miserable month for San Antonio, which had lost 18 straight prior to the Lakers setback. San Antonio followed that up by getting destroyed 146-110 by the Pels, underlining the defensive issues Coach Pop must overcome. Milwaukee still a primo "over" team, not that way four straight and eight of nine in the latest "totals" streak. Play Spurs-Bucks "Over"

Giannis could have this by the third quarter, yes, but this sure feels like a massive blowout with the Spurs sans Victor Wembanyama -- not that having him would have likely stopped the blowout. The Freak has topped 33 points once in his past four. If he only plays 30 minutes, I'll definitely take my chances as the Bucks surely would like to rest him if possible with the schedule about to get much tougher. If the Spurs hang close somehow, we probably are toast.

The Spurs recently moved Zach Collins to the bench, leaving him to average just 18 minutes over the last five games. However, expect him to start again with Victor Wembanyama (ankle) having been ruled out for this matchup. As a starter, Collins has averaged 3.9 assists over 29 minutes per game. With this likely to be a high-scoring game between two teams that rank inside the top-five in the league in pace of play, expect Collins to take advantage of additional playing time and hit this over.

Victor Wembanyama is out for the Spurs with an ankle injury. That should leave added shot attempts for Keldon Johnson, who is averaging 17.0 points per game for the season. Over his last 15 games, he has already scored at least 19 points nine times. It should also help his cause is that the Bucks and the Spurs both rank inside the top-five in the league in pace of play.
