The OKC Thunder are having their best season in the past decade and have a real chance to finish on top of the Western Conference where they are at the moment. The Bucks have no chance of getting on top of the East as the Celtics are far away. However, the Bucks are still one of the best teams in the league once they figured out how to play under new head coach Doc Rivers. Giannis ANtetokounmpo is playing excellent and Damian Lillard is there to follow the lead. The Thunder are in great shape as well but they depend a lot on Shai Gilgeous Alexander. No matter how good he is, the Bucks have more scoring options which will make the difference in this one as the Bucks get the win.
