Through 3 Quarters

This game looks like it will end up very different from the tight one-point margin of the Golden State Warriors' win over the Milwaukee Bucks in their previous head-to-head April of last year. After three quarters it's looking more and more like Milwaukee's high-powered offense is just too much for the Warriors as the Bucks lead 100-72.

Power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo has led the way so far for Milwaukee, as he has 29 points and nine assists in addition to nine rebounds and three blocks. A double-double would be Antetokounmpo's third in a row.

Golden State has been relying on small forward Andrew Wiggins, who has 16 points, and point guard Stephen Curry, who has 12 points and four assists along with seven boards.

If the contest were over at this point, it would be Golden State's worst margin of defeat yet this year.

What to Know

The Milwaukee Bucks will be returning home after a three-game road trip. They will take on the Golden State Warriors at 7:30 p.m. ET Thursday at Fiserv Forum after having had a few days off. If the contest is anything like Golden State's 122-121 victory from their previous meeting in April of last year, the scorekeeper will be kept real busy.

The Bucks were close but no cigar on Monday as they fell 103-99 to the Charlotte Hornets. Despite the defeat, Milwaukee had strong showings from small forward Khris Middleton, who dropped a double-double on 27 points and 11 dimes along with seven boards, and power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, who almost posted a triple-double on 26 points, 13 rebounds, and eight assists.

Meanwhile, the Dubs came up short against the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday, falling 116-108. Small forward Andrew Wiggins wasn't much of a difference maker for the Warriors; Wiggins played for 33 minutes with and four turnovers.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Milwaukee is expected to win a tight contest. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past two games, so buyers beware.

The losses put Milwaukee at 26-17 and Golden State at 30-10. The Bucks are 9-7 after losses this year, the Dubs 8-1.
