After Brooklyn rolled on Thursday evening, the Milwaukee Bucks own sole possession of the Eastern Conference’s second seed, two games behind Miami and a full game up on Philly. In order to maintain that position, they need to get past the Golden State Warriors on the road, at a time when their stock is low. As of now, the Bucks are one-point favorites in this matchup of two of the NBA’s premier franchises.
Where We’re At
Since the All-Star break, the Bucks are really hitting their stride. While most of their wins have been tight, including a somewhat close call on Wednesday night versus Atlanta for their sixth victory in a row, Milwaukee often comes out on top with big fourth quarters and huge individual performances.
