Heading into tonight’s matchup, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and co. will be high on confidence after their dominant 125-96 victory over the Bucks in their only regular-season meeting on February 3.

While that was their lone clash in the regular season, the two teams also squared off in the finals of the 2024 NBA Cup. In that showdown, Milwaukee came out on top with a 97-81 win.

In a low-scoring battle, Giannis Antetokounmpo stole the spotlight with a monstrous triple-double, recording 26 points, 19 rebounds, and 10 assists. His performance eclipsed the efforts of the OKC’s All-Star duo, Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams, who combined for 39 points.
