<h2>

<h2>
Reasons to Avoid Oklahoma City<br />
</h2>
<p>
The Thunder step into this game on a back-to-back and three-in-four situation. At this time of the season, that could be a scheduled loss with respect to fatigue. This is especially disconcerting for the Thunder as they are up against the best defense in the league in terms of field goal percentage (Milwaukee allows opponents to shoot just 41.2% against them) and the most physical team in the NBA on the boards. No unit generates more rebounds per game (51.8) than the Bucks. OKC's calling card is their shooting proficiency (47.4% - 4th overall in the NBA), and if that is not working for them, they are in prime position to be bullied here in the Cream City.

<h2>
Reasons to Back Milwaukee<br />
</h2>
<p>
The Bucks have lost just three games at home this season and operate an average margin of +13.4 on their hardwood. By virtue of this narrative alone, the Bucks are worth a look here as we are getting them at a reduced price by contrast. Moreover, the trends behind Oklahoma City put them in position to be overvalued here (even with enhanced points) as they are 9-0 ATS in their last nine games with no rest and 10-1 ATS in their previous 11 road games against a team with a winning record. Milwaukee has a strong enough home presence to bring forth “bucking” that trend. Adding in additional rest in Milwaukee's favor, and that makes it that much harder for the Thunder to overcome the number as they are likely working with fewer points than they should be taking back.
