The Milwaukee Bucks will search for their fifth straight victory when they host the Oklahoma City Thunder Friday night at Fiserv Forum.

It will be a battle of two of the hottest NBA teams when the Milwaukee Bucks take on the Oklahoma City Thunder Friday night at Fiserv Forum.

The Bucks have come out of the All-Star break firing on all cylinders after having won their last four games, the latest coming against the Toronto Raptors in a 108-97 victory in their return to Scotiabank Arena.

Not that it was much of a debate for some time now, but that victory over the second-seeded Raptors has only widened the gap between the Bucks and the rest of the league at large.

The Thunder, meanwhile, keep on rising up the ranks in the Western Conference where they currently stand as the fifth seed with a 37-22 record heading into tonight’s proceedings.

Oklahoma City enter their second meeting with the Bucks this season carrying a win streak of their own, which climbed to five games Thursday night as they beat the Sacramento Kings 112-108 at Chesapeake Energy Arena.

And while the margin between the Bucks and the Thunder is pretty wide, Oklahoma City do have the second-best record in the NBA behind the Bucks since December 1st, per Sam Quinn of CBS Sports.

So without further ado, let’s dig into what to watch for when the Bucks host the Oklahoma City Thunder Friday night, shall we?
