Randy’s Pick

Considering the Bucks played Antetokounmpo and Lillard in their last preseason game, I’m going to assume they’re careful with their minutes here or even sit them all together. The Thunder have pushed the pace in all of their preseason games and have oodles of youth and athleticism that makes them intriguing in preseason action. Lots of guys are fighting for minutes. The Bucks are a veteran team that’s waiting for the regular season to start. Give me OKC and the free bucket at home.
