What to Know

After two games on the road, the Bucks are heading back home. They will take on the Dallas Mavericks at 8:00 p.m. ET on Saturday. The Bucks have been getting the ball to fall more lately as they've increased their point totals each of their last three games.

The Bucks' and the Hornets' game on Friday was close at halftime, but the Bucks turned on the heat in the second half with 71 points. Milwaukee put the hurt on Charlotte with a sharp 130-99 victory. Winning is a bit easier when you work as a team to post 14 more assists than your opponent, as the Bucks did.

The Bucks got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Damian Lillard out in front who scored 27 points along with 5 assists and 5 rebounds.

Meanwhile, the oddsmakers set the bar high, but the Mavericks and the Wizards didn't disappoint and broke past the 242.5 point over/under on Wednesday. Dallas came out on top against Washington by a score of 130-117. The win was just what the Mavericks needed coming off of a 131-110 loss in their prior game.

The Mavericks' win was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Tim Hardaway Jr., who went 7 for 11 from beyond the arc en route to 31 points and 3 assists. Dereck Lively II was another key contributor, scoring 17 points along with 9 rebounds.

Milwaukee is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last eight matches, which provided a nice bump to their 8-4 record this season. As for Dallas, their win bumped their record up to 9-3.

Both teams pleased both fans and bettors in their last games by winning and covering the spread. Looking ahead, the Bucks are expected to win a tight contest, barring any buzzer beaters. This contest will be their 13th straight as the favorites (so far over this stretch they are 3-9 against the spread).

Saturday's game is shaping up to be a masterclass in shooting: The Bucks have themselves a killer kicker this season, having nailed 48.7% of their shots per game (they're ranked fourth in field goal percentage per game overall). However, it's not like the Mavericks struggle in that department as they've drained 48.3% of theirs this season. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out. Check CBS Sports after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more NBA content.
