Back to Back Losses

The Spurs head home with back to back losses in their resume. San Antonio lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder at their home floor last Thursday night to fall to 10-9 SU at home this season. San Antonio hopes to snap their losing spell and get back at the Bucks who beat them in their most recent assignment last Saturday night.

DeMar DeRozan leads the Spurs attack with 21.5 points and 4.9 assists per game. LaMarcus Aldridge is putting up 19.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks per game. Bryn Forbes, Patty Mills, Rudy Gay, and Dejounte Murray are also scoring in double figures while Derrick White is adding 9.5 points per contest.

Who Wins?

The Bucks are 8-2 SU in their last 10 games played. Milwaukee is 10-1 SU in their last 10 games played on the road. The Spurs are 2-3 SU in their last five games played. San Antonio is 10-9 SU in 19 home games played this season and 3-8 SU in their last 11 games against the Eastern Conference. Head to head, the Bucks are 5-1 SU in their last six games against the Spurs. However, San Antonio is 7-2 SU in their last nine games against Milwaukee.

Milwaukee heads to San Antonio with five consecutive wins and eight victories in their last 10 games played. These teams played just last Saturday in Milwaukee and the Bucks won by nine points. The Spurs held Giannis in check during the first half but the 2019 MVP exploded for 19 of his 32 points in the third period.

The Spurs have dropped back to back games and three out of their last five contests. They took a 12-point lead early against the Bucks but with Aldridge failing to score in the second half, San Antonio fell to Milwaukee. DeMar DeRozan is coming off a 26-point outing.

These teams played just a couple of days ago and Milwaukee won decisively. San Antonio was off to a good start but the Bucks’ depth showed in the second half. Milwaukee simply has too many weapons for San Antonio and there is no one on their team which can stop Giannis all night long.
