How to Watch Warriors-Bucks Game On Tuesday
It seems like every NBA season there are a few matchups that everyone points to and claims that a certain game could be a preview to a possible NBA Finals matchup to come.
Well, we have another one of those games on Tuesday night, as the Golden State Warriors, the defending NBA champions, will be on the road to take on the Milwaukee Bucks, the 2021 NBA champions.
Golden State has had a very up-and-down season thus far, but they have begun to turn things around as of late, winning eight of their last twelve games and recently defeating the Boston Celtics, who own the league’s best record, in their game prior to this one.
Stephen Curry looks like an MVP-favorite right now, Klay Thompson is beginning to find his shot again and the Warriors are starting to see consistent production from some of their bench players like Jonathan Kuminga and Donte DiVincenzo.
As for Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks, winning remains constant, as they are just one game behind the Celtics for the best record in the NBA.
Giannis continues to prove why he is a favorite for not only the MVP award, but Defensive Player of the Year as well. However, he may have to battle his own teammate for this honor this season, as Brook Lopez has been one of the best all-around defenders in the league, averaging a league-best 2.9 blocks per game.
The Warriors are a top-tier offensive team and the Bucks are a top-tier defensive team, so who will win this massive showdown in Milwaukee?
Here is how to watch Tuesday night’s game with game time and TV, lineups, bios and other must-know details.
