Oklahoma City Thunder
The Oklahoma City Thunder have had a great run as they have won seven of their last eight games overall and will be looking for a fifth straight victory after defeating the Raptors in a 123-103 road victory on Friday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the team with 23 points, seven rebounds and eight assists, Chet Holmgren added 18 points with 10 rebounds while Jalen Williams scored 20 points on nine of 13 shooting. As a team, the Thunder shot 50 percent from the field and 12 of 32 from the 3-point line as they scored 35 points in the second quarter to overcome an early 11-point deficit and take control, before finishing in style. in the fourth quarter only to escape at the end.
Milwaukee Bucks
Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Bucks are in pretty good form themselves as they have won four of their last six games overall and they will be eager to continue after beating the struggling Nets in a 115- 108 Thursday. Damian Lillard led the team with 30 points and 12 assists on 11 of 22 shooting, Giannis Antetokounmpo added 21 points with nine rebounds and five assists while Brook Lopez scored 17 points on seven of nine shooting. As a team, the Bucks shot 47 percent from the field and 16 of 41 from the 3-point line as they jumped all over the Nets in the first half to build a 20-point lead, but It wasn’t exactly smooth sailing. From that point on, the Bucks squandered the lead and needed a crucial 8-0 score late in the fourth quarter to escape with a close victory over the pesky Nets who didn’t just didn’t want to give up.
Free prediction Oklahoma City vs. Milwaukee
The Thunder have flown a bit under the radar of late as they have made little noise despite winning seven in their last eight games, while the Bucks are getting healthy and that has translated into instant success for them. The Bucks open as slight home favorites, but they were far from convincing in their close win over the slumping Nets on Thursday and I think they could be in trouble in this one if they allow the Thunder to start quickly. You can make an argument for either side here, but I think the Thunder represent decent value as an underdog in this spot.
