Pacers at Bucks picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 132, Pacers 126

Moneyline

PASS.

The Bucks have won 5 of their last 6, but at -196, they are unplayable on the moneyline.

Against the spread

BET BUCKS -4.5 (-110).

Milwaukee failed to cover and lost outright on the road against the Pacers on Nov. 9. The Pacers shot 20 for 48 from deep, and Haliburton hit 10 of 17 shots. That might not be repeated, but Antetokounmpo may still not be stopped. He scored 54 in the 1st game while G Damian Lillard missed the action.

There’s no real reason to believe Milwaukee, which has covered 8 of its last 11, won’t be better in this battle. The Pacers are just 5-5 ATS over their last 10 games. The Bucks have the better net rating by 0.3 here and should be able to come out on top while covering.

Take BUCKS -4.5 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 255 (-108).

While this is an ultra-high total, the Bucks and Pacers both sit in the bottom 10 in defensive rating and also rank in the top 5 in pace (Pacers 1st, Bucks 5th) in pace. This game should be an ultra-high-tempo battle.

The Pacers are 6-2 O/U in their 8 games with a total of 240 or higher. The Bucks are 4-1 O/U with a total of 240 or higher. They are 14-7 O/U while the Pacers are 16-3 O/U. Both teams have consistently hit the Over.

Despite a lofty total here, take OVER 255 (-108).

Milwaukee’s Newest 5-star Attraction Is… The Beached Yacht

Milwaukee’s Newest 5-star Attraction Is… The Beached Yacht

The newest “tourist attraction” in Milwaukee is the abandoned boat stuck since October at Bradford Beach. With 60 Google Reviews as of Thursday and listed as a “tourist attraction” on Google Maps, the location lovingly named “The Minnow” – a reference to the S.S. Minnow of Gilligan’s Island notoriety – has a perfect 5-star rating.

Nate Weiss, listed as a Local Guide on his Google account, wrote that visiting the beached boat is “a uniquely Milwaukee experience.” There’s actually two Google Map listings for the abandoned vessel. The other, terrifically labeled a “religious destination,” unfortunately is uncreatively titled “Milwaukee boat.”

Hurry! Voting closes for Best of the Burbs on Monday, Jan. 13.

The Minnow’s actual name is Deep Thought. The 33-footer slid ashore Oct. 13. Its owners, identified by WISN-TV as Richard and Sherry Wells of Mississippi, reportedly got caught up in a storm and ran out of gas. They were rescued, but efforts to pull it free thus far have been unsuccessful. Now with the shoreline ice thickening, there’s no hope of dislodging it until spring.

Here are some of our favorite takes social media has had in the past 90 days about Milwaukee’s favorite Minnow:

From the Google Reviews…

“There can be a bit of a wait, but the atmosphere is so electric the time flies by! Be sure to spend the extra $25 for the bottomless mimosas,” wrote Google userJoshua Sheeran. (It should be noted that there are no bottomless mimosas, or any other beverages offered by the non-existent crew of the beached boat. In fact, it’s probably best if you don’t eat or drink anything found in Bradford Beach’s sand. And definitely don’t kiss Ginger if she’s wearing her new lipstick.)

Exorbitant Rates!

Somebody Call Mr. Lightfoot

Dustin Schmaus thinks Gordon Lightfoot should come back from the grave to sonically eulogize Milwaukee’s Minnow: “It’s not the Edmund Fitzgerald, but it’ll do,” Schmaus wrote in his Google review.
