NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Brad Thomas (MrBradThomas) thinks Tyler Herro will have a night: Tyler Herro over 22.5 points (-130)
“This line is fine at 23.5 to -110 if you don’t have 22.5 available. Jimmy Butler is suspended again. This time for missing the team bus. Good news for Herro, who sees a massive increase in usage when Butler is out.Herro is averaging 24.9 points in 17 games without Butler this season.He gets a big matchup against the Bucks, who allow the third most points to PGs and the eighth most 3s to PGs as well.”
