Milwaukee Bucks vs Golden State Warriors Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Devesh Jaganath in NBA Predictions
The Golden State Warriors make the trip to BMO Harris Bradley Center to face the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA on Saturday night. The hosts are 26-12 and second in the Eastern Conference, while the visitors are 18-20 and 12th in the Western Conference.
The Golden State Warriors have been struggling lately and find themselves having lost six of their last nine games. However, they rebounded from losses to the Raptors and Pelicans with a win over the Bulls last night and saw Klay Thompson score a team-high 30 points to lead them to a 140-131 win. The Golden State Warriors are averaging 117.4 points per game, which is good for 10th place in the league and exactly 2.0 points fewer than the Bucks typically concede. However, defensively, the Warriors have been poor, allowing 117.9 points per game, ranking 22nd in the NBA. Heading into Friday night's game against the Bulls, the Warriors had already coughed up 404 points in their three preceding losses. Chris Paul is out for several weeks with an injury, and Draymond Green is still suspended. Gary Payton II and Moses Moody round out the Warriors casualty list.
Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Bucks will be looking for a win after splitting their last 10 games. They rebounded from losses to the Rockets and Jazz with a thrashing of Conference leaders the Celtics last time out, with Bobby Portis racking up a team-high 28 points in the dominant 135-102 victory. The Milwaukee Bucks are averaging an impressive 124.4 points per game, which ranks second in the NBA and is 7.3 points more than the Warriors are conceding on average this season. However, defensively, the Bucks could use some major improvements as they ship 119.4 points on average, which is the 24th-best record in the league. Notably, the Bucks are conceding fewer points at home (118.3) compared to on the road (120.7). Jae Crowder is the only possible absentee for the hosts in this one.

Our Milwaukee Bucks vs Golden State Warriors Prediction
While the Bucks did pull off a very impressive victory over the Celtics last time out, the -11.5 line seems almost silly for a side that either cannot or does not play defense. The Warriors will also come into the match with some confidence after a much-needed win over a solid Bulls side following a few poor showings at home in the last couple of weeks. We’re backing the Warriors to cover in this one. Our Milwaukee Bucks vs Golden State Warriors prediction: Golden State Warriors +11.5.
