Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Milwaukee Bucks CashBet Wagering Analysis

The Milwaukee Bucks still have former league MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo leading the team and they are going to be tough to beat still. Their chemistry is still off but does expect the Oklahoma City Thunder to bite back and not fear them in this matchup.

Thunder Not Tanking so Far

The Oklahoma City Thunder are expected to target getting better odds in the NBA lottery with the numerous picks that they have but it doesn’t seem that way. They are the 11th best team in the NBA Western Conference and if they push hard enough, they can make it to the play-in tournament at the end of the season. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the team’s best player and he is getting help primarily from a rookie from Australia named Josh Giddey. Lou Dort has been stepping up along with Darius Bazley. Don’t forget that this squad was on a four-game winning streak before losing back-to-back.

Bucks Missing Championship Pieces

The Milwaukee Bucks find themselves right now at 11th place in the NBA Eastern Conference standings and this is not the way that they want to defend their championship. This team is just starting to get their injured players back but they seem to be out of sync. The squad has only won thrice in the past 10 games and this is not a title contender supposed to perform. This is a game that they would like to get their winning rhythm back. Heading into this matchup, the Bucks are supposed to be the huge favorites but there is something clearly wrong when you believe that the Oklahoma City Thunder has a chance to beat them on their home court.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Milwaukee Bucks Head-to-Head with Spread

There is no player that can guard Giannis Antetokounmpo one-on-one in this league and that is a given. It is just a question if his teammates will follow his lead. The Thunder should keep this game close and expect them to go under the NBA betting spreads.
