Oakland vs. Milwaukee Prediction

I’m with Oakland here. Oakland for me has been one of those teams that kind of sneakily plays well even when they’re not really being paid any attention to. The Panthers are a solid team in their own right, but Oakland’s just had their number in a lot of the recent head-to-head matchups and I think that the Golden Grizzlies at worst keep this game close as well. I’ll take my chances with the Golden Grizzlies and the points in this game.
