Milwaukee Bucks vs. Washington Wizards Game Info and Analysis

Milwaukee Bucks Performance Recap and Analysis

The short-handed Bucks (23-13) lost at home to Washington, 118-95, on Sunday. Having averaged 38 points and 14.6 rebounds over his last six outings, superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo didn’t play due to left knee soreness. Jrue Holiday missed with an illness, while Khris Middleton was out for the eighth straight game with right knee soreness.

Bobby Portis paced Milwaukee with a 19-point, 10-rebound double-double, while Jevon Carter had 14 points and Grayson Allen 13. The team shot 26% from the field in the first quarter.

It was only the Bucks’ fourth loss in 19 home games this go-round.

Key Injuries

Each of the aforementioned Milwaukee injuries still applies to this one. Antetokounmp is probable, as are Holiday and point guard George Hill (illness). Middleton is ruled out.

Betting Trends to Know

Milwaukee is much more comfortable at home than it is on the road. The Bucks boast a 15-4 record in front of a friendly crowd but are under .500 when living out of a suitcase. Being at Fiserv Forum should serve them well Tuesday.

Washington Wizards Performance Recap and Analysis

The Wizards standings (17-21) aren’t as good as Milwaukee’s, but they could be improved if this surge continues another week. Washington has come out on the right side in five straight, beating Sacramento, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and Orlando before getting to Wisconsin this weekend.

The Wizards were also without who is arguably their best player — Bradley Beal — but Rui Hachimura bucketed 26 points, and Kristaps Porzingis added another 22 in the win over the Bucks.

Daniel Gafford netted 13 points in the first quarter, and 17 in total, and Washington held a 34-17 edge after the initial frame.

This turnaround comes after they lost 10 in a row in a skid that started in late November and carried into the middle of December.

Key Injuries

Arguably the team’s most impactful performer, Beal, is questionable for this one with a hamstring issue. Center Daniel Gafford and forward Taj Gibson (groin) are day-to-day. The latter is also questionable to suit up.

Betting Trends to Know

NBA player stats have Porzingis leading the team with 22.2 points and 8.9 boards per game. Monte Morris adds 5.3 assists. Also, Washington is 7-14 in away games this year.

Again, the setting could play a large role in our Wizards vs Bucks picks.
