Bucks Seeks 30th Win
The Milwaukee Bucks are seeking their 30th win of the season. Milwaukee continues to shine, winning four of their last five games propelled by a barrage of scoring. This includes a 143-142 overtime home win against the Kings last week. The only loss in that span was a 135-95 road loss to the Cavaliers on Wednesday. They rebounded with a 141-135 road win against the Pistons on Saturday. The Bucks have covered the spread in one of their last five games.
Giannis Antetokounmpo has scored at least 30 points in two of his last three performances. The 29-year-old star power forward did not play on Wednesday and returned on Saturday. He has recorded an average of 31.2 PPG. He scored 22 against the Pistons last month and 31 on Saturday. Damian Lillard has scored at least 25 points in three of his last four clashes. The 33-year-old point guard had his best game of the season against the Pistons, netting 45 points. Lillard is now averaging 25.5 PPG on the year. Khris Middleton has shot below 43% in three of his last four games. The veteran forward is posting an average of 14.4 PPG on 48% shooting.

The Bucks are 2-3 in their last five road games but did not cover the spread once that span.

They are conceding an average of 120.6 points, placing them 25th.
Pistons Competitive in Another Loss
The Detroit Pistons are eying their fifth win. The Pistons are obviously having a disastrous season but have been competitive recently. They lost by just two points to the Rockets last weekend and replied by earning a convincing 129-117 road win against the Wizards early last week. Detroit covered in a 124-117 loss to Minnesota on Wednesday and was marked 13.5 point dogs in the loss on Saturday. The Pistons have covered in four of their last five games.
Cade Cunningham has not played since early this month due to a knee injury. The 22-year-old point guard is not expected to return for this one. He is averaging 22.8 PPG on the season. Bojan Bogdanovic has been relied upon heavily recently. He has netted at least 20 points in two of his last four bouts. The 34-year-old forward sunk 24 points against the Bucks in December and 19 points on Saturday. He has registered an average of 19.8 PPG. Jalen Duran has been outstanding, connecting on at least 50% of his field goals in each game this month. The 20-year-old center has reported an average of 14 PPG.

Full-Game Side Bet
Insiders Status:
Rating:
The Milwaukee Bucks continue to dazzle, winning four of their last five games. The Detroit Pistons continue to lose most games. They did recently manage to beat a Wizards team that only has eight wins but that’s it for the month.
Furthermore, the Bucks continue to dominate in the offensive end, averaging 120.7 points per 100 possessions, good for 2nd in the NBA compared to a weak Pistons offense that is only posting 110.4 points per 100. They continue to play without scoring leader Cade Cunningham. While the meeting between these squads was close on Saturday, the Pistons shot 56% from three-point range which I can’t see happening in the rematch.
Prediction: Milwaukee Bucks -11.5
Full-Game Total Pick
Insiders Status:
Rating:
I expect plenty of scoring. The Bucks are piling on the points. They have scored at least 129 points in four of their last five games. They collected 145 points against Detroit last month in a game where the over easily delivered and posted 141 points on Saturday.
In addition, the Pistons are showing an increase in offense. They have scored at least 117 points in three straight games. Defensively, they continue to be exploited, conceding at least 124 points in seven of their last ten games. Milwaukee will attempt a ton of threes and the Pistons are marked 27th in the NBA in three-point defense. The over is 4-1 in the Pistons’ last five games against a divisional opponent.
Prediction: Over 247

May 10 (UPI) — Wes Edens, the billionaire co-founder of Fortress Investment Group and an owner of the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks, was the target of a billion-dollar extortion scheme allegedly perpetrated by an ex-lover, the Wall Street Journal reported Sunday.
A spokesman for Edens, 64, confirmed to the newspaper that the financier is the unnamed alleged victim in a federal indictment brought against Changli “Sophia” Luo of New York City.
Edens, one of world’s most successful global investment management firm leaders with Fortress, has developed and owned businesses in real estate, transportation, infrastructure, health care, financial services, media and entertainment.
He is also a high-profile sports team owner, including the Bucks and soccer club Aston Villa of the English Premier League. He is credited turning the Bucks from a perennial cellar dweller into a champion squad over a five-year span, culminating in the 2021 NBA championship.
But he also fell victim to a lurid alleged “sextortion” scheme, his spokesman confirmed to the WSJ, admitting the Edens is the unnamed “Victim 1” cited an indictment filed last year in Manhattan federal court against Luo.
The indictment reportedly accuses her of trying to extort Victim 1 of more than $1 billion by threatening to release videos and photos of them engaged in sex. Prosecutors alleged Luo also threatened to contact the victim’s family members and business partners in a threat to destroy his fortune if he did not pay up.
According to the indictment, Luo was arrested June 14 at JFK International Airport as she tried to board a flight to China, the New York Post reported.
“Mr. Edens will be making no comment on the case as the indictment speaks for itself with respect to the charges against the defendant,” his spokesman told the Journal. “Mr. Edens expects to testify under oath at the upcoming trial.”
