The (16-21) Washington Wizards will visit Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Sunday to play the (23-12) Milwaukee Bucks. The Fiserv Forum will host the start of the game at 8:00 PM EST. This will be the first time these two teams have faced off this season, and I predict a fight!
The Washington Wizards enter this game off a 119-100 victory against the Orlando Magic. This was their fourth straight victory, and they played beautifully on both sides of the floor. If they want to compete with the Bucks on the road, they must continue to be effective offensively.
The Milwaukee Bucks are coming off a 123-114 victory against the Minnesota Timberwolves. They did a terrific job on the defensive end of the court, but if they want to compete with the Wizards at home, they will need to keep up the pressure.

They average 111.9 points per game on offense and shoot 48.1% from the floor. The ninth-highest team shooting % and 20th-most points scored per game, respectively.
As they are still 2.5 games behind the Celtics in the Eastern Conference standings, the Milwaukee Bucks are now in second place. They are scoring 112.9 points per game on offense, and their field goal percentage is 48.1%. This represents the 24th-highest team shooting % and the 17th-most points scored per game.
