The Oklahoma City Thunder and Milwaukee Bucks meet Sunday in NBA preseason action at the Fiserv Forum. The Oklahoma City Thunder look for a win after losing their preseason game to the Hornets. The Milwaukee Bucks also need a win after a sluggish 0-2 preseason start.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have lost five of their last six preseason games. The Oklahoma City Thunder are averaging 97 points on 38.4 percent shooting and allowing 113 points on 49.4 percent shooting. Josh Giddey is averaging 18 points and seven rebounds, while Arron Wiggins is averaging 12 points and one assist. Aleksej Pokusevski is the third double-digit scorer and Luguentz Dort is grabbing one rebound. The Oklahoma City Thunder are shooting 31.9 percent from beyond the arc and 69.6 percent from the free throw line. The Oklahoma City Thunder are allowing 27.3 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 43 rebounds per game.

The Milwaukee Bucks have lost five straight preseason games. The Milwaukee Bucks are averaging 96 points on 45.8 percent shooting and allowing 103 points on 48.8 percent shooting. Jordan Nwora is averaging 23 points and six rebounds, while Sandro Mamukelashvili is averaging 14.5 points and two assists. Grayson Allen is the third double-digit scorer and Elijah Bryant is dishing 1.5 assists. The Milwaukee Bucks are shooting 38.1 percent from beyond the arc and 70.3 percent from the free throw line. The Milwaukee Bucks are allowing 35.3 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 42 rebounds per game.

The Milwaukee Bucks are going to play some of their key rotation players eventually, and that’s when you want to back them. However, right now, the Bucks don’t look good on either side of the floor and have lost five straight games overall. The Oklahoma City Thunder are a young club that has playing time on the table, so you’d expect a competitive squad that plays hard. I’d check the rosters before betting to make sure the Bucks don’t stack the deck, but my original lean is with OKC on the road.
