Thunder vs. Bucks prediction, choice

Justin Martinez: OKC 108, Milwaukee 94

This became a much easier game to predict when Antetokounmpo was excluded. The Bucks star dominated Thunder in the NBA Cup final on December 17th. He led Milwaukee to a 97-81 victory with a 26-point state line, 19 rebounds and 10 assists. And while OKC will be without perimeter defenders like Williams, Caruso and Wallace, it should not be punished too much by a Milwaukee team that does not want Lillard either. I go with OKC at home.
