The Milwaukee Bucks and Golden State Warriors lock horns for the second time this season on Wednesday.
The Bucks are 11th in the East with a 16-20 record. They are coming off consecutive wins over the Charlotte Hornets and Sacramento Kings. Meanwhile, the Warriors are eighth in the West with a 19-18 record. They lost their last game to the LA Clippers on Monday by 103-102.
In the previous meeting between the Bucks and the Warriors on Oct. 30, Milwaukee came out on top with a 120-110 result despite Giannis Antetokounmpo’s absence. Ryan Rollins torched his former team with a 32-point, eight-assist game on 13 of 21 shots.
The Warriors received 27 points from Steph Curry, 24 from Jonathan Kuminga and 23 from Jimmy Butler, but the others had a quiet night. No other player scored 10 or more points, which played a key role in the Warriors’ loss.
The Warriors will hope for a different outcome on their stomping grounds. They will be the favorites to do so, with oddsmakers favoring them by a 6.5-point margin.
