Bucks vs. Warriors: Predictions, picks, odds for Wednesday's NBA game
The Milwaukee Bucks travel to take on the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night.
The Milwaukee Bucks are on a six-game winning streak after defeating the LA Clippers 113-106. Milwaukee managed to win despite the absence of their key players Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was sidelined due to an Achilles injury, and Khris Middleton, who is recovering from a sprained ankle. Damian Lillard had an outstanding performance for the Bucks, scoring 41 points and tallying four assists and four rebounds.
The Warriors are coming off a huge road 140-88 loss against the Boston Celtics, which extended their win streak to 11. Steph Curry had his fewest points of the season, scoring only four points in 17 minutes of play before departing and not reentering the game. Lester Quinones led the Warriors with 17 points, followed by Moses Moody with 11 points against the Celtics.
Milwaukee Bucks vs. Golden State Warriors predictions
ESPN: Warriors have a 57% chance to win
According to ESPN's Matchup Predictor, the Golden State Warriors have a 57.2% chance of beating the Milwaukee Bucks.
Action Network: Over 226
Michael Fiddle writes: "In this Bucks vs. Warriors game, I think the move toward the under doesn't apply to the style of play here. Without Antetokounmpo, the Bucks and Warriors should play this game on the perimeter and clear 226 points. I would still wait to play this because once Giannis is confirmed out, the total will drop some more."
Winners and whiners: Warriors Cover
Staff writes: "This game comes down to Giannis Antetokounmpo's health primarily. He's battling an Achilles injury, so Antetokounmpo may be out again. If that's the case, Golden State should be favored and will beat the spread. Giannis Antetokounmpo had 33 points, nine rebounds, and five assists in the first game against Golden State. Nobody on the Bucks can replace that production. Milwaukee's defense doesn't force enough turnovers to stress Golden State's offense, which will allow them to get the shots that they want. Injuries and the venue change will help the Warriors end the Bucks' winning streak comfortably."
Dimers: Bucks 110-115 Warriors
