Warriors vs. Bucks Preview & Prediction

The Golden State Warriors have won 13 of their last 14 games and are hoping to continue their hot streak against the Milwaukee Bucks, who are fighting to maintain the six seed in the Eastern Conference playoff picture.

Projected Starting Lineups

Golden State Warriors (59-13)

G Stephen Curry – 23.7 ppg, 7.9 apg, 2.1 spg

G Klay Thompson – 21.7 ppg, 3.1 rpg

F Harrison Barnes – 10.4 ppg, 5.5 rpg

F Draymond Green – 11.8 ppg, 8.1 rpg

C Andrew Bogut – 6.2 ppg, 8.2 rpg

Milwaukee Bucks (36-36)

G Khris Middleton – 13.1 ppg, 4.5 rpg

F Giannis Antetokounmpo – 12.8 ppg, 6.8 rpg

F Ersan Ilyasova – 11.1 ppg, 4.8 rpg

C Zaza Pachulia– 8.2 ppg, 6.8 rpg

What to watch for:

Can Milwaukee score enough points to keep up with Golden State?

The Warriors are the highest-scoring team in the league, averaging just under 110 points per game, while the Bucks rank just 22nd in the NBA, averaging 97.8 points per game. Milwaukee has the ability to score with anyone, but they also go through stretches where they couldn't hit water if they fell out of the boat. They need to be hitting on all cylinders tonight to have a chance.

Prediction: Warriors win 112-95

Milwaukee is playing better of late after suffering through a long losing streak, but they still don't have the talent to really compete with the Warriors.
