Command Analysis
Washington Wizards
USACurrent form
Washington is failing the current season, which became obvious at the start. The team couldn't find their game for a long time, and the leaders didn't live up to their expectations. As a result, the club parted ways with Kyle Kuzma, sending him to Milwaukee, and in return received Chris Middleton. Reshuffling the squad is unlikely to fix the situation immediately, especially since the Wizards continue their unsuccessful streak.
In the last match, the capital club suffered another defeat, losing to Indiana in a tense confrontation (130:134). The match turned out to be spectacular and rich in highlights, but the ending remained for the opponent. Now Washington can only finish the season by trying to build a new team. The home match against Milwaukee is ahead, which hardly bodes well for the hosts.
Disqualifications and injuries
Malcolm Brogdon's participation in the match is questionable.
Interesting facts for betting
The Wizards have won only one game in their last five games.
Approximate composition: George-Coulibaly, Sarr-Carrington, Poole.
Milwaukee Bucks
USACurrent form
Milwaukee occupies the fifth place in the Eastern Conference and is trying to catch up with Indiana in the table. The team has been alternating wins and losses lately, but the pause should benefit Doc Rivers' players. Key players Giannis Adetokunbo and Damian Lillard have recovered from their injuries, which significantly strengthens the team.
In a recent match, the Bucks had some difficulties, but still defeated Minnesota (103:101). Kyle Kuzma, the rookie of the team, immediately showed his best side, scoring 19 points and making 13 rebounds. It will be interesting to observe his new role as a contender for high places. The Stags intend to strengthen their position in the Eastern Conference, and the meeting with Washington looks like a good opportunity to take another victory.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bobby Portis will not play in the next match due to injury.

1.57Tip and bets
Kyle Kuzma's departure made the situation even more difficult for Washington. The team didn't shine with stability as it was, and now it's also lost one of its main performers. This season is clearly not an asset for the Wizards, and it's hard to imagine that they will suddenly add and be able to impose a fight on the favorite.
In turn, Milwaukee is a team on a completely different level. Doc Rivers' players are fighting for leadership positions, showing confident basketball. The return of Adetokunbo and Lillard gives the guests extra confidence. In our opinion, the Bucks have a much higher chance of winning, and they should take the points in this confrontation.
Our prediction is that Milwaukee will win with a handicap of (-6) points in 1.74
Bet on the total
Washington already has nothing to lose, which means we can expect them to play a bolder game in attack. At the same time, the team's defense remains unstable, which is good for Milwaukee. The Bucks will probably play number one, focusing on offense. In such a situation, betting on total looks more like a reasonable option, because both teams have the prerequisites for effective basketball.
Forecast - total more than 225.5 points for 1.75
Betting on statistics
Bucks leaders Yannis Adetokunbo and Damian Lillard are in line, which means that Washington's defense will face serious difficulties. Milwaukee is able and likes to attack, and against an unstable opponent, the guests have every chance to break through an individual total. Most likely, the Bucks will take advantage of the problems of the hosts and once again show their strength in attack.
Prediction – Milwaukee's individual total is over 116.5 points in 1.77 minutes
