The Milwaukee Bucks will look to get back to winning ways following an ugly loss when they host the Washington Wizards on Monday night.
Having started the Eric Bledsoe era 4-0, the Milwaukee Bucks were brought back down to earth with an unmerciful thud when they were blown out by the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday.
With the Washington Wizards coming to Milwaukee on Monday, the Bucks will want to not only bounce back from that disappointment, but also to make the most of their last home game for 12 days as they prepare to head out on a West coast road trip.
Although that upcoming road trip sees the Bucks face off against a host of teams who Milwaukee would be expected to get the better of from a talent standpoint, the team’s humiliation in Dallas was a reminder that there are no such guarantees in the NBA.

What way will that record swing after Monday’s game? Let’s take a closer look at the keys to victory for both teams in an attempt to find out.
