Bucks vs Warriors A Possible Finals Matchup
This contest between Milwaukee and Golden State could very well be a preview of what we see in NBA Finals in early June. Both teams have been and will continue to be serious contenders to come out of their conferences to fight for a league title.
Saturday’s marquee matchup in the NBA will be the second of two games between the Bucks and Warriors this season, with the first contest taking place Jan. 13th in Milwaukee.
That game resulted in the Bucks defending their home court with ease, taking down the Warriors 118-99 behind a 30-point, 12-rebound, 11-assist triple-double from Giannis Antetokounmpo.
In that game, Golden State surprisingly struggled shooting from the field, shooting just 34.7%. Milwaukee, on the other hand, finished with a 51.2% mark from the field behind 18 threes.
This matchup will continue to be an entertaining one between two of the top offenses and teams in the NBA overall, and it could end up ultimately being a preview of the NBA Finals to boot.

As the Warriors continue to get players healthy and back on the floor, they will continue to establish into a championship contender we’ve become to know. Or Stephen Curry could just rattle off 24 second-half points to cap off a 34-point performance like he did to light up the Nuggets on Thursday.
A key factor for Golden State on Saturday is the location of the game, as we know how tough the Warriors can be at home. They hold a record of 27-7 at home this season, having won seven of their last 10 at home.
Bucks vs Warriors Prediction
Milwaukee could use the extra day of rest to its advantage to go into San Francisco and take down Golden State in a close, back-and-forth contest.
For the best bet of the night, go with the over of 232 listed for this game. The Bucks have the third-best offensive rating in the NBA (114.7) and the Warriors hold the 10th-best (112.3), so this game should be a high-scoring affair.
- The Pick: Over 232 (-110)
