Milwaukee Bucks vs. OKC Thunder Prediction

The Milwaukee Bucks will be on the road and will face off against the Oklahoma City Thunder in a non-conference matchup on Wednesday (November 9).

The Bucks are atop the Eastern Conference with a 9-1 record and are coming off a 117-98 road loss against the Atlanta Hawks on Monday.

The Thunder are 11th in the Western Conference and are on a three-game losing streak after a 112-103 road loss against the Detroit Pistons on Monday as well.

The betting odds and predictions are below:

TEAMSMONEYLINELINETOTAL
Milwaukee Bucks-250-6.5 (-110)O 219.5 (-110)
Oklahoma City Thunder+210+6.5 (-110)U 219.5 (-110)

The Bucks are not doing as hot offensively as you would imagine as they are currently tied with the Chicago Bulls for 18th in the league with 111.4 points per game thus far while shooting 44.9 percent from the floor.

Power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo has been dealing with a knee injury and is probable for this game as he is playing incredibly well with 31.8 points and 12.2 rebounds per game (both third in the NBA).

Their biggest strength has been their defense as they are currently the best defensive team in the NBA as they are giving up 102.7 points per game thus far and are forcing their opponents to just a 42.8 field goal percentage up to this point.

Oklahoma City is struggling to score as they are 23rd in basketball, scoring 109.7 points per game and are not shooting the three-point ball well as they are only ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers at 29.3 percent this season.

Point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been doing extremely well as he is seventh in the NBA with 30.8 points and is shooting well with a 53.9/30.4/96.9 shooting split so far.

Defensively, they are doing pretty well as they are 13th in the NBA with 111.8 points per game and are giving up 46 percent from the floor right now. They are fifth in basketball with 6.1 blocks per game and second in the sport with 9.1 steals per game.

Milwaukee Bucks vs. Oklahoma City Thunder Match Details

Date and Time: Wednesday, November 9, 8:00 PM ET

Milwaukee Bucks vs. Oklahoma City Thunder Best Pick:

Brook Lopez has been taking the backseat offensively this season, but he scored 25 points in 24 minutes against the Thunder earlier this year.

He has been shooting the ball well with a 49.6/37.5/83.3 split and Oklahoma City does not have great center defense. Take the over on his points as he should score a good amount in this game.

Brook Lopez; Points: Over 14.5
