Milwaukee Bucks vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction

It might be time to admit the Milwaukee Bucks aren’t a good basketball team, as they’ve lost three straight games, all as favorites. After losing to the Trail Blazers and Spurs, you’d think the Bucks would have been locked in at home to beat a Grizzlies team without Morant. Nope. They lost that as well. Now the Bucks are on the end of a back-to-back. The Thunder are arguably the most consistent team in the league, which includes a 20-3 SU record at home. The Thunder also have a cover percentage of 68.1 percent, which is the best in the NBA. I’m not getting positive vibes from the Bucks right now. Give me the Thunder and the chalk on Monday night.
