Rating:
The Bucks will still be missing Khris Middleton for this game and most likely Giannis Antetokounmpo. While the Bucks were able to beat the Los Angeles Clippers, they did so at home and that’s where they played their best basketball this season. The Warriors are coming off an embarrassing loss to the Celtics and will look to make a statement in this game. Andrew Wiggins, the Warriors’ best perimeter defender, will be back in the lineup for this game and will be tasked with guarding Damian Lillard. The Bucks beat the Warriors by 11 points on January 13, but Steph Curry and Draymond Green did not play in that game. The Warriors will be at full strength and I expect the Warriors core of Curry, Thompson and Green to have this team motivated and ready to get back on track. Antetokounmpo and Middleton combined for 57 points and 15 assists in their first meeting and completely dominated the Warriors. Without their two stars, the Bucks will struggle offensively in this game and will not be able to compete with a Warriors team hungry for a victory. The Warriors will benefit from big games from their stars and cover the spread on their floor.
Prediction: Golden State Warriors -3.5
Total choice of the complete game
Rating:
The Bucks got great performances from Damian Lillard and Bobby Portis in their last game, but the Bucks only scored 113 points. Milwaukee will be without two of its top three scorers and simply doesn’t have enough offensive weapons to put a ton of points on the board. The Bucks shifted to a more defensive lineup with Antetokounmpo and Middleton out of the lineup, which improved their defensive play. Golden State played inconsistently on the offensive end at times and dealt with injury issues that slowed the team’s chemistry. The Warriors have lived and died by threes this season and it hasn’t always paid off for them so far. The Bucks have the defensive weapons to be able to slow down the Warriors and the Warriors won’t let Damian Lillard beat them and will force role players to step up. Take under.
Prediction: Under 228.5
