Golden State Warriors vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction
I’m not excited to lay this number with the Golden State Warriors, as they’ve underachieved all year and a comeback win over the Bulls doesn’t move the needle. It’s the Bulls. The Warriors shouldn’t have been down 30 points to begin with. However, the Bucks have had constant hiccups themselves this year, and now they’re without Antetokounmpo for a while. The Bucks are also on the end of a back-to-back, which isn’t ideal when they’re down their best player. The Warriors should win this game, so I’ll lay the points, but there are better options out there on a hefty NBA card for Monday.
