The Milwaukee Bucks (19-7) will host the Golden State Warriors (14-13) in a matchup that could be a 2023 NBA Finals preview. Last season these teams split their two games, with the home team winning outright and covering the spread in each contests.
Milwaukee comes into this game with the second-best record in the Eastern Conference, and Golden State is ninth in the West.
The Warriors' road to another championship repeat has a long way to go but is off to an up-and-down start. Golden State is tied for an NBA-best 12-2 home record but on the road just 2-11. Despite the early struggles, Golden State has the fourth-best odds to win the NBA Finals at +800 according to Bet MGM.
Saturday, the Warriors pulled out their biggest win of the season taking down the Boston Celtics 123-107. Klay Thompson led the Warriors with 34 points on 14 of 26 shooting and Stephen Curry had 32 points on 12 of 21 shooting in the win, but that of course was at home. Now the Warriors will play six straight road games, beginning on Tuesday night.
