Game 2 – Milwaukee vs. Washington:
This game could easily throw a wrench in Milwaukee’s potential 9-0 run. The Wizards are a solid team with a deadly backcourt combo of John Wall and Bradley Beal. Those two averaged over 40 points per game last season. This will be the toughest early season test for the Bucks.
Hopefully, Michael Carter-Williams and Khris Middleton can find a way to slow down Wall and Beal, respectively. I believe they can. Couple that with a fired up Giannis Antetokoumnpo coming off a one game suspension, and you have a lot for the Milwaukee faithful to cheer for.
This should be a exciting game and worth the price of admission. My gut tells me the Bucks win in a close one that comes down to the last few minutes in the fourth quarter.
