Who was favored in Milwaukee Bucks vs Washington Wizards?

Milwaukee Bucks were the favorite at DraftKings, moneyline -125 (about 56% implied). The underdog won.

In a noteworthy matchup, the Washington Wizards secured a 109-99 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks at Capital One Arena. This win allowed the Wizards to improve their record to 13-34, while the Bucks fell to 18-29.

The Wizards entered the game with a recent record of 1-9 over their last ten games, but they managed to break a losing streak with this victory. Their scoring average in that span was 107.8 points per game, while they allowed an average of 118.6 points. The Wizards had been struggling at home, with a home record of 1-3 in their last four games, but this win marked a significant turnaround. The Bucks, on the other hand, were 2-7-1 in their last ten games, averaging 96.5 points scored and allowing 106.0 points. Their away record was 2-4 in their last six games, which added to the pressure they faced in this fixture.

The Wizards had previously faced the Bucks four times in the current season, winning three of those matchups. This series record of 3-1 in favor of the Wizards added an extra layer of confidence heading into the game. The last meeting between the two teams was on January 1, 2026, where the Wizards won narrowly, 114-113.

In terms of injuries, the Wizards were missing Jamir Watkins, who was out with a knee injury. Additionally, Alex Sarr, Anthony Davis, and Trae Young were all listed as day-to-day, which could have impacted the team's depth and performance. The Bucks had Kevin Porter Jr. also listed as day-to-day due to a knee issue, adding to the uncertainty of their lineup.

The betting market, as reported by DraftKings, had the Bucks favored by 1.5 points, with a total set at 223.5. The odds reflected a competitive matchup, but the Wizards' performance on the night defied those expectations.

Conditions in the arena were typical for a winter evening in Washington, D.C., with a crowd eager to support the home team. Fans witnessed a tightly contested game, particularly in the fourth quarter, where the Wizards pulled away late. Key scoring plays included a 26-foot three-point jumper by Myles Turner, which helped the Wizards maintain their lead. Alex Sarr also contributed with a driving floating jump shot, and Bub Carrington added crucial free throws down the stretch.

Viewers were treated to a display of resilience from the Wizards, who not only managed to secure the win but also showcased their ability to perform under pressure. The victory may serve as a turning point for the Wizards as they look to build momentum in the remainder of the season.
