The Milwaukee Bucks, currently sitting fifth in the Eastern Conference playoff picture, made a trade to bolster their roster with the acquisition of Kyle Kuzma. However, the odds at BetMGM suggest that this move doesn’t impress, as the team’s title chances remain unchanged at +2800.
Khris Middleton, traded away in the deal, has struggled with injuries and limited minutes, affecting his consistency on the court. In contrast, Kuzma has had a disappointing season with the Washington Wizards, but his shooting skills might improve when paired with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard.
The Bucks’ new lineup could be an asset in small-ball lineups, where Kuzma’s size at the 4 position alongside Antetokounmpo at the 5 could create matchup problems for opponents. Nevertheless, bettors seem unconvinced about the team’s championship prospects, indicating a tough road ahead for the Bucks in their quest for an NBA title.
