Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: March 29 at Golden State Warriors

Finale

This is a very tough game to predict. The Bucks are more unpredictable than ever at present, while at less than full strength and working star players back into the lineup, the Warriors will have their own concerns too.

The news that Durant and Green will play certainly swings the odds back in Golden State’s favor, but the Bucks have not been afraid of the Warriors over the past two-and-a-half seasons.

Giannis Antetokounmpo thrives when the spotlight shines brightest, but if the Bucks are to come away with a win he’ll need Khris Middleton to continue his positive play, and Eric Bledsoe and Jabari Parker to bounce back with good games of their own. That seems a lot to ask on recent form, but the Bucks have a habit of striking when least expected.
