Milwaukee Bucks History

The Milwaukee Bucks joined the NBA as an expansion team in 1968 and quickly rose to prominence. Just three years later, the franchise claimed its first NBA championship in 1971, thanks to the dynamic duo of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Oscar Robertson. Their success established the Bucks as a force to be reckoned with during the early 1970s, marked by consistent playoff appearances.

Following Abdul-Jabbar’s trade to the Los Angeles Lakers in 1975, the team entered a rebuilding phase. Despite this, the Bucks found success in the 1980s, led by stars like Sidney Moncrief. This era was characterized by consistent postseason play but an inability to reach the NBA Finals. It wasn’t until the 2010s, with the arrival of Giannis Antetokounmpo, that the Bucks returned to championship contention.

The Bucks reached the pinnacle of the NBA again in 2021, when Giannis led the team to their second NBA title. This championship cemented Milwaukee’s status as an elite team in the modern NBA, combining their rich legacy with a bright future.

Milwaukee Bucks Stats

The 2024-25 Milwaukee Bucks have maintained their status as one of the NBA’s top teams. Their offense ranks among the league’s best, fueled by the potent combination of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard. They consistently rank in the top five for points per game and offensive efficiency. However, defensive metrics show room for improvement, as the team’s perimeter defense has struggled at times.

The Bucks excel in rebounding, led by Giannis and Brook Lopez, which allows them to dominate second-chance opportunities. Areas needing improvement include turnovers, as they’ve ranked near the bottom in turnover ratio, a critical stat for playoff success.

Milwaukee Bucks Roster for 2024-2025

The Bucks’ 2024-25 roster is headlined by two superstars, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard. Giannis remains the heart of the team, while Lillard’s arrival adds elite scoring and playmaking. 

Brook Lopez anchors the defense and stretches the floor with his three-point shooting. Bobby Portis provides energy and versatility off the bench, and newcomers like Taurean Prince add depth. While the core is strong, role players’ consistency will be crucial for sustained success.

Milwaukee Bucks Injury Report

The Bucks haven’t exactly started the season off strong, sitting at 5th in the division as of writing this. However, there are a few emerging trends for the 2024-25 season to watch for. Bettors can use these trends to make winning wagers on the Bucks:

  1. High-Scoring Games with Lillard’s Impact
    The addition of Damian Lillard has elevated the Bucks’ scoring potential. Bettors should look at the over/under market, as Milwaukee games often exceed the projected totals. Lillard’s ability to close games complements Giannis’s dominance, creating consistent high-scoring performances.
  2. Dominance at Home
    The Bucks have one of the best home records in the league, thanks to the energetic Fiserv Forum crowd. Betting on Milwaukee to cover the spread in home games has been a profitable strategy and should continue this season.
  3. Giannis Double-Double Props
    Giannis’s consistent dominance in scoring and rebounding makes him a prime candidate for double-double props. With his high usage rate, bettors should expect this trend to remain a lucrative option.

The Bucks’ 2023-24 season featured several profitable betting trends. Here are three that stood out:

  • Giannis Over on Points and Rebounds
    Giannis frequently surpassed his points and rebounds props last season, especially in matchups against weaker defenses. Bettors who targeted these props regularly found value.
  • Bucks as Favorites
    Milwaukee consistently covered the spread as favorites, particularly in Eastern Conference matchups. This trend highlighted their dominance against less-talented teams.
  • Second-Half Scoring Surges
    The Bucks often surged in the second half, outperforming their opponents after halftime adjustments. Live bettors capitalized on second-half spreads, especially when Milwaukee trailed at halftime.

Key Players for Betting on the Milwaukee Bucks

Even if the Bucks are down on their luck this season, you can still make money betting on player props. Some of the key players to watch out for include:

  • Giannis Antetokounmpo
  • Damian Lillard
  • Bobby Portis
  • Brook Lopez 
  • Taurean Prince

Giannis Antetokounmpo

Giannis Antetokounmpo is the heart and soul of the Milwaukee Bucks, making him a cornerstone for bettors. Known for his versatility, Giannis fills the stat sheet with points, rebounds, assists, and defensive stats. His dominance in the paint and ability to push the pace in transition make him a reliable option for over/under props on points and rebounds. 

Additionally, his consistency in delivering double-doubles and triple-doubles offers significant value for bettors looking for higher payouts. Keep an eye on marquee games, where Giannis tends to elevate his performance, often surpassing even the loftiest expectations.

Damian Lillard

Damian Lillard’s arrival has transformed the Bucks’ offensive dynamic, giving bettors even more opportunities to profit. Lillard is a lethal scorer, particularly from three-point range, making his three-point props a valuable market to explore. His role as the team’s primary closer in tight games adds another layer of intrigue for live betting, as he thrives under pressure. 

Bettors can also target his points props in matchups against weaker defensive guards, where he tends to exploit mismatches. With his high usage rate and ability to draw fouls, Lillard consistently delivers for those betting on his scoring totals.

Bobby Portis

Bobby Portis is the Bucks’ energizer off the bench, and his role as a spark plug makes him a valuable player in prop markets. Known for his hustle and rebounding ability, Portis frequently surpasses his rebound props, especially against teams with weaker second units. 

His scoring is also worth targeting, as he’s capable of putting up big numbers when given extended minutes. Portis’s versatility allows him to exploit mismatches against smaller or less mobile defenders, making him a sneaky good play in specific matchups. Bettors should monitor games where key players are resting, as Portis often shines in an expanded role.

Brook Lopez

Brook Lopez remains one of the league’s premier stretch big men, providing unique betting opportunities. His ability to block shots and stretch the floor with three-point shooting makes him a dual-threat for props. Bettors can capitalize on Lopez’s blocks props, as he consistently ranks among the league leaders in this category. His three-point props also present value, particularly in games where the Bucks face defenses that struggle to guard perimeter-oriented big men. 

Additionally, Lopez’s experience and steady production make him a reliable choice for bettors looking to exploit his consistency in points, rebounds, or defensive stats.

Taurean Prince

Taurean Prince may not be a household name, but his contributions as a role player provide under-the-radar betting opportunities. Known for his three-point shooting and defensive versatility, Prince’s point and three-point props can offer value in games where he gets significant minutes. 

His ability to knock down open shots, especially in catch-and-shoot situations, makes him a weapon against teams that collapse on Giannis or Lillard. Additionally, Prince has a knack for stepping up in games where the Bucks’ stars rest, making him a solid pick for props in these scenarios. Savvy bettors can exploit his undervalued lines to find sneaky wins.
