The Milwaukee Bucks (16–20) head west to take on the Golden State Warriors (19–18) on Wednesday night at Chase Center, with tip-off scheduled for 10 p.m. ET. Milwaukee already claimed the first meeting this season, earning a 120–110 victory on Oct. 30 while covering as sizeable home underdogs in a game that pushed past the total. The Bucks enter this matchup playing their best basketball in weeks, while Golden State continues to look for rhythm.
Milwaukee has won four of its last five games, most recently cruising to a 115–98 road win over Sacramento. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the way with a dominant 37-point, 11-rebound outing, and Kevin Porter Jr. delivered his strongest performance since Giannis’ return, posting 25 points and 10 assists. The Warriors, on the other hand, are coming off a tough 103–102 loss to the Clippers, where Stephen Curry scored 27 points but struggled from long range. Jimmy Butler III added 24, though scoring support was limited.
According to BetMGM, Golden State is favored by 5.5 points at home and listed at -225 on the moneyline, while Milwaukee offers value at +185. The total sits at 229.5 points. Injury reports show the Bucks without Taurean Prince, while the Warriors face uncertainty with Draymond Green and Gary Payton II both questionable to play.
The outlook favors a tight contest, with Milwaukee projected to edge out a 121–119 win. Given Golden State’s lack of offensive depth and Giannis’ ability to control the game, the Bucks’ moneyline presents strong value. While the spread is best avoided, the Over looks attractive, as recent matchups between these teams have produced plenty of points and the pace suggests another high-scoring battle.
