Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: March 29 at Golden State Warriors

Warrior to watch

Aside from closely monitoring how he looks from a health perspective, Kevin Durant will attract the bulk of Milwaukee’s attention as the player best equipped to drive this Golden State team forward offensively.

Returning from two weeks out with a fractured rib on his right side, Durant’s willingness to seek out contact and how he deals with any physicality that comes his way will likely be central to how he performs.

That’s not to say, Durant is in any way reliant on that approach as he’s one of the greatest shooters to ever play the game, but the onus will be on Milwaukee to force him into more uncomfortable decisions.

With improvements in his scoring and assists this season, along with jumps in terms of three-point percentage and blocks per game that have Durant on course for comfortable career-highs, the 29-year-old has rarely looked quite as dominant on both ends of the floor.

Note: Durant’s true shooting percentage is down, but this “blog boy” won’t make a big deal out of it.
