Milwaukee Bucks vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction 1/21/26 NBA Picks Today

The Oklahoma City Thunder invade the Fiserv Forum to battle the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have been on fire lately as they’ve won 10 of their last 13 games overall and they will be eager to stay hot after taking down the Cavaliers in a 136-104 road win on Monday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the team with 30 points on 12 of 20 shooting, Chet Holmgren added 28 points with eight rebounds and two blocks on 11 of 16 shooting while Luguentz Dort chipped in with 18 points on six of seven shooting. As a team, the Thunder shot 56 percent from the field and 23 of 47 from the 3-point line as they caught fire early with 66 points in the first half to take a 15-point lead into halftime, but that was only the beginning as they dominated the fourth quarter by 45-25 to secure yet another blowout win on the road.

Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Bucks have been struggling lately as they’ve dropped four of their last six games overall, but they can get something going after they snapped a three-game losing streak with a 112-110 road win over the Hawks on Monday. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the team with 21 points, 17 rebounds and six assists, Bobby Portis added 19 points off the bench while AJ Green drained six 3-pointers to finish with 18 points. As a team, the Bucks shot 49 percent from the field and 16 of 36 from the 3-point line as they dominated the first half by 54-38 to open up a 23-point lead, but they squandered that lead and they looked headed for another defeat before they went on a pivotal 7-2 run late in the fourth quarter to reclaim the lead and escape with the narrow road win.

The Thunder are still missing Alex Caruso, Jalen Williams, Isaiah Hartenstein and Nikola Topic with Jaylin Williams listed as questionable, while the Bucks are keeping an eye on Kevin Porter Jr and Myles Turner who are both questionable. This is definitely a game where you should check the lineups before tipoff given the injury cloud hanging over both teams. With that being said, these two squads are trending in opposite directions, so while the Bucks are certainly tempting with the points at home, I prefer a play on the red-hot Thunder who should win this one easily if they play anything like they did in their last game on Monday.
