Milwaukee Bucks vs. Golden State Warriors NBA Betting Pick

Presently it’s hard to conceive of a team more championship capable than the Bucks. Milwaukee boasts the best record in the entire NBA. Giannis Antetokounmpo is the reigning Most Valuable Player award winner. And the Bucks defense has tightened up to make for one of the most complete teams in NBA betting. By contrast, the Warriors have suffered an epic collapse. Golden State has the worst record of any team in the Western Conference. Their lineup is a mere shell of itself from the glory days. All of a sudden head coach Steve Kerr is looking quite ordinary.
