The Oklahoma City Thunder travels north to take on the Milwaukee Bucks as they’ve got an opportunity to hit the 50-win mark while retaining the top seed in the Western Conference. With a win, they’d reach that win total for the first time since the 2015-16 season – the campaign they lost in the Western Conference Finals.

The Bucks are solely in the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference, standing 11.5 games behind the top seed and two games ahead of the No. 3 seed. 

Both teams, in terms of seeding, could benefit with a big win in this matchup. This is the first of two contests between the two teams this season. 

Injury Report

Thunder:

• Ousmane Dieng, OUT (G League)

• Olivier Sarr, OUT (G League)

• Adam Flagler, OUT (G League)

• Keyontae Johnson, OUT (G League)

Bucks:

• Giannis Antetokounmpo, Probable (Hamstring)

• Khris Middleton, Probable (Ankle)

• AJ Green, Questionable (Illness)

---

One would assume both Middleton and Antetokounmpo will play, meaning the two teams will be at full strength heading into this matchup. Both squads will likely finish as a top-three seed in their respective conferences with the potential to make deep playoff runs. Needless to say, having both teams healthy could create for an incredible matchup.

Updated Odds:

Heading to the Fiserv Forum on the road, the Thunder is a 2.5-point underdog. They’re playing the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference on the road, so it’s not a big shock they’re playing this game as the non-favorite. 

Still, the Thunder is riding a four-game winning streak while averaging north of 120 points per game in that stretch. They’re going to hit the road and play a tough game, but coming away with a fifth-straight victory could be a challenge. The Bucks have been a solid road team, and the Thunder has a 23-13 road record. It’ll be interesting to watch this one play out.
