MIL: Score with Efficiency
The Milwaukee Bucks are undefeated in their last three matches, mostly due to their excellent shot selection. Their 53.8% field-goal percentage is a testament to their offensive plan, but it can certainly still be fine tuned.
The Bucks are averaging 16.3 turnovers to 26.3 assists over their last three games – being beaten in the turnover department by an average of 0.6.
The Warriors aren’t an excellent offensive team, so it’s important that they don’t give them many extra opportunities. The Bucks have been commanding the boards, so sorting out their ball security issues should be priority number one.
GSW: Ball Security & Three-Point Defence
The Golden State Warriors have been dreadful in their last three games, understandably being the underdog in this matchup. On a three-game losing streak, one of those losses being by 53-points, the Warriors need to tighten the screws.
The Warriors have committed an average of 19 turnovers over their last three games, while also allowing their opponents to convert on 13.3 three-point attempts on 37.7% efficiency.
The Bucks have the size advantage on the Warriors, likely looking to pound the ball inside. For the Warriors to win this game they’ll need to value possessions, while
Bucks Key Player: (G) Jrue Holiday
Fresh off of a contract extension, Jrue Holiday will be tasked with slowing the roll of eventual NBA Hall of Famer Stephen Curry.
In his last match, Holiday posted an incredible 33 points, 11 assists, seven rebounds, one steal, and one block with just two turnovers. He was also uber-efficient, converting on 60.9% of his shots.
Holiday is as good of a defender as he is a scorer. The Warriors aren’t strong so he doesn’t need to put in a Herculean effort, but limiting the Warriors’ best player is still a tough task.
Golden State Warriors wing player Kelly Oubre is making waves after reports that he wouldn’t accept a bench role with the Warriors. He certainly has the potential to be a regular starter, and it should start in this game versus the Bucks.
Oubre was more solid than usual in his last outing against the Hawks. He posted 20 points and 11 rebounds on 56.3% shooting from the floor.
Against a capable defensive perimeter defence, Oubre needs to be a scoring threat. When Curry doesn’t have offensive support, the Warriors struggle. Oubre needs to prove himself as the threat that he thinks he is.
