The analysis Model

The Spurs start with a clear edge. The model projects Bucks 110 – 118 Spurs, a margin of about 7.4 points in favor of the Spurs and a total around 228 points. Expect a game at a standard NBA pace. The Spurs played yesterday: fatigue often shows in the fourth quarter. The Spurs will be without Tobias Harris or Jayden Quaintance.

  • The overall strength gap (-6.4 vs +6.6 pts/game) is the main factor.
  • The Bucks need to win the pace battle to stay in the game.
  • The Spurs' offense (118.9 pts/game) is the more productive of the two.
  • The Spurs' defense allows clearly fewer points (111.1 pts/game).
