Milwaukee Bucks vs Golden State Warriors Preview and Prediction
The Bucks have won four of their last five games, and they are currently on a two-game winning streak. This past Sunday, the Bucks knocked off the Sacramento Kings 115-98. Giannis Antetokounmpo had a double-double performance with 37 points and 11 rebounds, while Kevin Porter Jr. also had an impressive stat line, putting up 25 points, four rebounds, and 10 assists.
Over the past two weeks, the Warriors have been stuck in a cycle of following up a win with a loss, then winning and losing again. On Monday, they lost 103-102 to the LA Clippers in a game wherein head coach Steve Kerr got thrown out for continuous complaining. Steph Curry had 27 points but shot just 4-for-15 from beyond the arc in this losing effort.
Still, the Warriors are favorites to win this game at Chase Center. They are a good home team with an 11-5 record on their turf, while the Bucks are a bad road team, having won just seven of their 18 games away from Fiserv Forum up to this point.
