The Milwaukee Bucks (26-21) travel to face the Oklahoma City Thunder (38-9) on Monday night in a rematch of the NBA Cup championship game. The Bucks dominated that meeting with a 97-81 victory, but since then, the two teams have gone in opposite directions.
Recently, Milwaukee has struggled to find consistency, losing three straight games, while Oklahoma City has surged to the top of the Western Conference with an 18-4 record since that defeat. The Bucks are also dealing with significant injury concerns, while the Thunder look to continue their dominance at home.
The scoring depth that Oklahoma City possess will test the defensive structures of the Milwaukee first and second units which in my opinion will not be able to contain them this time around.
Take the Thunder to cover the line with a bunch of stars possibly sitting on the sidelines for the travelling Bucks. OKC will go over their team total and with Lu Dort scoring 20 in his most recent game we can get behind him to reach double digits in this one.
- Milwaukee’s Defensive Struggles – The Bucks have allowed an average of 133.7 points per game during their three-game losing streak, ranking near the bottom of the league defensively in that span.
- Thunder’s Dominant Run – Oklahoma City is 18-4 since losing to Milwaukee in the NBA Cup final, boasting the best defensive rating in the NBA (104.7 opponent PPG).
- Injury Concerns for the Bucks could mean they will be without Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), Damian Lillard (groin), Brook Lopez (back), Bobby Portis (personal), and Khris Middleton (ankle).
- SGA’s Revenge Game? – Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was held to just 21 points on 8-of-24 shooting in the last meeting, one of only two times he has scored 21 or fewer points this season.

Milwaukee Bucks Form
Milwaukee has struggled since their NBA Cup victory, going just 12-10 since that win over Oklahoma City. Their defense has been a major issue, allowing 120.1 points per game over their last 10 contests. The Bucks are coming off a 132-119 loss to Memphis, marking their third straight defeat, where they allowed the Grizzlies to shoot 54.4% from the field.
The Bucks’ injury list continues to grow, with several key players uncertain for this matchup. If Giannis and Lillard remain out, Milwaukee will need a big game from Malik Beasley, who has averaged 20.8 PPG over the last five games. Andre Jackson Jr. played a key role in limiting Gilgeous-Alexander last time, but the Bucks' defensive issues as a whole make a repeat performance difficult.
Milwaukee Bucks Team News
The Bucks are yet to submit their injury report but Giannis Antetokoumpo, Damian Lillard, Bobby Portis, Brook Lopez and Khris Middleton are all questionable.
Oklahoma City Thunder Form
Since their loss to Milwaukee in the NBA Cup, the Thunder have been one of the NBA’s hottest teams, going 18-4 and solidifying their spot atop the Western Conference. They are coming off a 144-110 blowout win over Sacramento, where Aaron Wiggins led the team with a career-high 41 points. Oklahoma City has won five of its last six games and owns the best point differential in the league over the past month.
Gilgeous-Alexander continues to lead the way, averaging 32.4 PPG while shooting 54.5% from the field. Oklahoma City also owns the NBA’s best defensive rating and has held opponents under 110 points in 14 of their last 18 games. If Jalen Williams returns from injury, the Thunder will have another key weapon in their offensive attack.
Oklahoma City Thunder Team News
Jalen Williams, Cason Wallace and Alex Caruso are questionable to play.
