Major Key For Milwaukee: Hound Steph

Stephen Curry is a little banged up at the moment after tweaking his ankle in the Warriors last game against the Orlando Magic. Curry is set to play against the Bucks, but he might be a touch off.

That’s nothing new for Curry, who has been off for the last month or so. In his last 16 games, Curry has shot 40 percent or better from deep just three times. He’s shooting 29.5 percent from three-point range over that stretch.

Curry has been missing open threes, which is the most concerning thing about this recent trend, but the Bucks should not leave him alone and hope he continues to miss shots. Eventually, Steph will get his mojo back.

To make sure it doesn’t happen against Milwaukee, the Bucks have to hound him. Matthew Dellavedova and Malcolm Brogdon have to go through every single screen and keep on Curry no matter what. Steph is a great player, but he can get a little shook when the opposition gets physical with him.

Patrick Beverley is probably the best guard in the NBA at bothering Curry, but Delly has shown in the 2015 NBA Finals that he can be that pest as well. Usually the Bucks switch everything, but they need to keep a body on Curry at all times on Saturday night and prevent him from getting comfortable.
