In order to win, the Bucks have to dominate the possession game and to do that, Giannis Antetokounmpo has to crush opposing teams on the boards. Even for a transition-focused team like the Bucks, that’s close to 80% of your offensive possessions where they’re starting behind the eight-ball. Without Khris Middleton, the Bucks simply don’t have enough playmaking juice or shot creation to score efficiently in the half court. Over the past two weeks, they’ve played at the level of the league's worst offense, and the losses are beginning to pile up. They’ve fallen all the way to 23rd on offense, narrowly ahead of the 10-30 Detroit Pistons. The Milwaukee Bucks have always been a team that likes to win ugly, but they’re taking to new extremes this season. Bucks zero on Giannis’ compensating for Milwaukee's sputtering halfcourt offense with his exceptional rebounding prowess. Our NBA picks and predictions for Wizards vs. The Bucks have now lost five of six and will be seeking revenge against a Wizards team that has now won five straight. Washington won that first game in a walk, a 118-95 blowout with all three of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jrue Holiday, and Khris Middleton sidelined. Tonight's slate features one of the NBA’s hottest teams, the Washington Wizards, trying to pull off the rare home-and-home sweep as they face the Milwaukee Bucks for the second time in three days.
