Golden State Warriors vs Milwaukee Bucks: Current situation
With this current 7-game win streak the Warriors are on the verge of entering the battle for one of the top 5 seeds in the West. They are just 2.5 games back from the Lakers with 39 wins and 28 losses, as things stand they would face the Denver Nuggets in the opening round. Considering the history between the teams, that’s a match-up they would want to avoid.
Beating the Indiana Pacers has loosened the pressure a bit off the Milwaukee Bucks who clinched the regular season series against Indy. The number 4 seed in the East is theirs to lose now, with 15 games remaining they are half a game up on the Pacers with a slightly easier schedule remaining. Bobby Portis is also returning at the start of April, so things are trending in the upward direction.
Golden State Warriors Stats & Form
The win against the Knicks showed us that the Warriors are capable of winning games even when they don’t put up a large amount of points. They kept the Knicks to just 94 points scored, limiting their 2nd unit to just 4 points total. As a team the Warriors defended the three-ball very well, allowing just 9 of 24 shots to go in. Stephen Curry had a team high 28 points, to go along with his 7 rebounds.
Milwaukee Bucks Stats & Form
The Bucks had high hopes going into the game against the Oklahoma City Thunder as their opponent was playing on a 2nd night of a back-to-back, but in the end that didn’t matter as the Bucks got destroyed 121-105. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard combined to score just 40 points, far too little coming from their two best players. Rebounding is also something to keep an eye on, the Bucks had just 34, compared to 50 by the Thunder.
Golden State Warriors vs Milwaukee Bucks: Head-to-Head
A team has not swept a regular season series in this match-up since the 2016-17 season, so the odds are against the Warriors here even if they are up 1-0 following their 14-point win from back in mid-February. The two teams have played each other 148 times total in the regular season so far, Milwaukee holds a lead with 87 wins to the Warriors’ 60 wins.
Golden State Warriors – Milwaukee Bucks Odds

Betting tip and prediction: Golden State Warriors vs Milwaukee Bucks (18.03.2025)
Only once in 15 games with Jimmy Butler in the line-up have the Warriors lost so far, as we get closer and close to the postseason this team is looking more of a contender by the day. Stephen Curry has been cooking over the past 10 games, making 42% of his three-point attempts, his numbers have all gone up with the introduction of Butler into the line-up. Curry will be tested by the Bucks undoubtedly, but we feel like the match-up against Damian Lillard will go in his favor. The last time he played the Bucks, Steph finished with 38 points which was his 2nd game of at least 36 against them in the last 3 meetings. This includes the Warriors’ 125-111 win in the first meeting that happened about a month ago in Milwaukee. Giannis and co. are hoping to make amends here after a tough home loss to Oklahoma City, but without the absent Bobby Portis they just aren’t able to compete with the top teams in both Conferences. The Bucks have a negative road record this season at 14-17 SU, plus they’ve covered the spread in only 14 of those games as well. With the Warriors clogging the paint very successfully this season, Milwaukee will run into issues against trying to score the ball here. Golden State ranks 3rd in opponent points in the paint this season, allowing just 45.5 per game, so expect the Bucks to rely on the three-ball more in this game. That’s a battle they just cannot win, we are rolling with the home team Warriors here.
