Milwaukee Bucks vs Golden State Warriors: The game of the night in the NBA
The Golden State Warriors are hosting the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday at Fiserv Forum in San Francisco.
The Bucks are starting a four-game West Coast road trip
The Milwaukee Bucks are second in the Eastern Conference with a 41-21 record. They have won the last six games and are coming off a 113-106 win over the Los Angeles Clippers. The Bucks are second in the league, scoring 121.4 points per game, and are ranked fourth, shooting 49.3% from the field. Giannis Antetokounmpo is having another impressive season, averaging 30.8 points, 11.3 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game.
The Warriors are coming off their worst loss of the season
The Golden State Warriors are tenth in the Western Conference with a 32-28 record. After winning three consecutive games, the Warriors lost 140-88 to the Boston Celtics. They are second in the league with 15 three-pointers made per game and seventh scoring 118.6 points per game. Steph Curry leads the Warriors with 27.1 points per game.
Betting Trends
The Bucks have covered the spread in each of their last six games. The Warriors are 6-3 ATS in the last 9 games against the Bucks and 4-1 ATS in the last 5 games playing them at home. Golden State is 11-3 ATS in the last 14 games overall and 6-3 ATS in the last 9 games against teams from the Central Division.
Prediction and Conclusion
The Warriors were blown away in their last game, losing by 52 points to the Celtics. Of course, they are an experienced team and will leave that game behind them, but it is a fact that they have a long way to go to reach the playoffs. The Bucks finally started to play well under Doc Rivers, who took over the head coaching job in the middle of the season. Giannis Antetokounmpo has been brilliant all season long, and Damian Lillard dropped 41 points in the last game. Milwaukee lost the last three times they visited the Warriors, but they have a legit chance to win tonight, and the Bucks will at least be close to that and will most likely cover the +4.5-point spread.
