With their sights likely set toward the upcoming NBA playoffs, both the Milwaukee Bucks and Golden State Warriors have become fade material. The Bucks, currently eighth in the Eastern Conference, are just 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games while the Warriors, who are already locked into the postseason, have covered just three times in their last 13 games.
- Kevin Durant and Draymond Green are expected to be back in the lineup for the Warriors.
- Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging just 14.9 points in 9 career games vs the Warriors.
- The Bucks are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games on the road against the Warriors.
There is thought that the Warriors should start bouncing back for bettors with Kevin Durant and Draymond Green expected back in the lineup. Durant has missed the last six games with a rib injury while Green missed the last three with an illness. The Warriors have been struggling offensively of late with Durant, Green, Steph Curry and Klay Thompson all missing time with various ailments. Durant should especially help, as No. 35 tallied 26 points, six rebounds and six assists in his lone game vs the Bucks this season.
The Bucks’ recent inconsistent play has been due to their defensive efforts, as Milwaukee is allowing 112.7 points per game in its last 17 contests. Though the offense has proven to be able to win shootouts on the regular, the poor play of the defense is a major concern for the Bucks, especially with a potential first-round series against the Toronto Raptors looming. One key to fixing this is better ball security, as Eric Bledsoe is averaging 4.2 turnovers per game in his last five outings – leading to easy buckets for opponents.
