Bucks vs Wizards prediction
The Bucks are still shorthanded with Damian Lillard still out with a groin strain, while the Wizards are still missing a bunch of players including Landry Shamet, Tyus Jones and Kyle Kuzma. The Bucks should win this easily even though they haven't been at their absolute best, and they are still missing Damian Lillard, but the Wizards are capable of hanging around in this one if the Bucks aren't focused. The Wizards have been a much better team recently, but they're just so banged up, which doesn't help against a team like the Bucks.
