The Milwaukee Bucks will host the Golden State Warriors in a potential NBA Finals preview on Tuesday, Dec. 13. Read on for our Warriors-Bucks pick and prediction.
Milwaukee's four-game win streak was snapped Sunday with an upset loss to the Rockets. Khris Middleton injured his ankle in that one and played just six minutes, but he's expected to play tonight. Jrue Holiday is questionable with an illness, so Milwaukee may be without one of its key wing defenders.
Golden State kicks off a six-game road trip with a t rip to Fiserv Forum after a commanding win over first-place Boston on Saturday. The Warriors will be missing Andrew Wiggins, who is averaging 19.1 points, 3.0 triples, and 1.4 steals this season. Draymond Green is expected to play through an ankle injury.
The Bucks are 12-3 straight up at home, while the Warriors are just 2-11 on the road. These teams have met four times over the past two seasons, and the home team has won each matchup, highlighting just how much better each team plays in front of its home crowd. Will that trend continue tonight, or will the Warriors play spoiler and earn a rare road win?
