Bucks vs Warriors Preview
Milwaukee will travel to Golden State on Saturday night for a battle versus the Warriors. For the latest NBA betting trends and NBA free picks on Saturday’s game, check out our Bucks vs Warriors preview below.
Milwaukee Looking To Stay Hot
The Milwaukee Bucks weren’t playing bad basketball before this six-game win streak, but they certainly did not play the brand of basketball that everybody was expecting them to after winning an NBA title a season ago, which just goes to show how good this Bucks team really is.
Milwaukee is going to be coming into this one after beating the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night 124-115. In that game, Giannis Antetokounmpo did his usual thing while scoring 43 points and grabbing 12 rebounds. Giannis has led this Bucks team to a top-two seed in the Eastern Conference once again.
Milwaukee currently has the seventh rated net rating, the fourth rated offensive rating, and the 16th rated defensive rating.
Warriors Building Momentum
Prior to their two-game win streak, the Golden State Warriors were certainly not playing the type of basketball that anybody expected this team to. They are still 3-7 in their last 10 games, but if the last two games are any indication, this team is turning it around. They were able to come away with an impressive win against the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night 112-97, and they also took down the potential MVP in Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets on Thursday night, 113- 102
In their most recent win against the Denver Nuggets, Stephen Curry was able to get back on track as he finished the game with 34 points and added nine rebounds.
Golden State has the number two rated net rating, the 11th ranked offensive rating, and the second-ranked defense of breathing.

Free NBA Picks — Bucks vs Warriors
For this game, I’m going to go with the Milwaukee Bucks to cover the spread. I think that this team is going to win this game and with how well they have looked as of late, I fully expect that trend to continue.
When we also factor in that the Golden State Warriors don’t have a good interior defense, it seems likely that Giannis Antetokounmpo is going to be able to carry the Bucks to a victory.
