Season series: Bucks lead 1-0 after beating the Warriors 120-110 on Oct. 30, covering as 7.5-point home underdogs with the Over (228.5) cashing.
The Bucks have won 4 of 5 after a 115-98 cover as 4.5-point favorites in Sacramento on Sunday. The total finished close to points to the Under (221.5).

Bucks at Warriors picks and predictions
Prediction
Bucks 121, Warriors 119
The vibes in Dub Nation aren’t good right now. F Jonathan Kuminga hasn’t played since Dec. 18 but is not on the injury report. The high-flying forward is rumored to be on the trade block, and the Warriors really don’t have much beyond Curry and Butler.
This is a game that Giannis takes over to impress a potential trade suitor. Give me BUCKS +185.
There’s no point in taking the spread when we’re taking the ML value with the underdog. PASS.
The Bucks are 2-8 O/U in their last 10 and the Warriors are 5-5. But the Over is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings between these teams and expect a back-and-forth affair with threes pouring like rain.
Go OVER 229.5 (-115).
