Milwaukee Bucks vs Golden State Warriors Prediction

The Warriors are coming off an ugly loss to the Nuggets who didn’t play Jokic or Murray. Now the Warriors are on the end of a back-to-back, and Steve Kerr mentioned after the game that they could rest Curry in this spot. If that’s the case, I have to lay the points with the Bucks. Of course, check the injury report for updates before betting. Still, the Bucks have been playing some of their best ball over the last month, they have the rest advantage, and they’re fighting for a top-four seed and home court in the first round. If Curry doesn’t play, the Bucks can’t afford to blow this game. I’ll lay the reasonable number with the Bucks on Tuesday night.
