Milwaukee at Washington

Milwaukee has lost three in a row, clearly feeling the impact of the injury bug. Giannis Antetokounmpo (28 ppg, 10 rpg) is out with a right calf strain, along with Kevin Porter Jr. (16.8 ppg) and Taurean Prince (neck surgery). Cole Anthony (illness) is also questionable, and this pointspread reflects the MASH unit we'll see on the court tonight. Since 2018, the Bucks laid an average of -9.2 points against the Wizards and held them to 117.4 points per game, going 19-6. This year, Washington is 27th in the NBA in scoring, 25th in shooting, and 23rd from the free-throw line. The Wizards are scoring only 112.3 PPG and haven't proven they can capitalize on these situations. Milwaukee is coming off games against the Sixers, Nuggets, and OKC, but this is a considerable step down in competition. Look for Milwaukee to lean on its D, slow down the pace, and snag a much-needed win.
