The most interesting matchup on Tuesday night in the NBA is going to be between Milwaukee Bucks and Golden State Warriors. Milwaukee is the 2nd best Eastern Conference team with 19 wins and only 7 losses while Golden State is at only the 9th spot in the Western Conference with 14 wins and 13 losses. In this game, I'm taking the Warriors with the spread.

The Bucks have won 7 out of the last 9 games but there have been some struggles. They lost to the Lakers at home and in Houston in the last game. Milwaukee won in Dallas just by a point and small-margin victories were against the Knicks (+9), Hornets (+9) and Magic (+7). These struggles started right after Khris Middleton came back. He's still far away from his best version and he sprained his ankle in the last game but is listed as probable for tonight's action.

We can't say that the Warriors are playing badly as they have 6 wins in the last 9 games. They lost to Dallas who was shooting way better from downtown just by 3 points and blew the lead against Utah although Stephen Curry and Draymond Green didn't play in this. The latest victory was against the Celtics in the finals rematch and Golden State was playing very well. Thompson is playing like the old Klay as he has hit at least 4 three-pointers in the last 3 games.

The Warriors had problems with their defense at the start of the season but now it seems like some rhythm has been found. During the last 5 games, the Warriors have the 8th-best offense (115), 8th-best defense (108.2) and 5th-best net rating (5.9). The Bucks have the 27th-best offense (107.8), 3rd-best defense (102.8) and 6th-best defense (5.0).

This is a national TV game meaning that the Warriors will have full focus on it. It finally looks like the Warriors could be back. Draymond Green will be very motivated to guard Giannis Antetokounmpo but there could be some issues for Milwaukee if Jrue Holiday won't be able to play. In this scenario, who's going to guard Curry? Golden State might now win but should cover the spread.

周二晚上NBA最有趣的比赛将是密尔沃基雄鹿队和金州勇士队之间的比赛。雄鹿队19胜7负排名东部第二，金州勇士队14胜13负排名西部第九。这场比赛，我选勇士队。

雄鹿队在过去的9场比赛中赢了7场，但他们也有一些挣扎。他们在上一场比赛中分别在主场和休斯顿输给了湖人队。密尔沃基在达拉斯仅以1分的优势获胜，对阵尼克斯(+9)，黄蜂(+9)和魔术(+7)的比分都很小。这些挣扎在米德尔顿回来后就开始了。他离他的最佳状态还有很长的路要走，他在上一场比赛中扭伤了脚踝，但今晚的比赛可能会出现。

我们不能说勇士打得不好，因为他们在过去的9场比赛中赢了6场。他们输给了小牛队，小牛队在下城的投篮比他们好得多，只差3分，并且在对阵爵士的比赛中失去了领先优势，尽管斯蒂芬·库里和德拉蒙德·格林没有上场。最近的一场胜利是在总决赛重赛中对阵凯尔特人，金州勇士打得非常好。汤普森的表现就像过去的克莱，在过去的三场比赛中他至少命中了4个三分球。

勇士在赛季初的防守上有问题，但现在似乎找到了一些节奏。在过去的5场比赛中，勇士的进攻(115次)排名第八，防守(108.2次)排名第八，净效率(5.9次)排名第五。雄鹿拥有第27位最佳进攻(107.8分)，第3位最佳防守(102.8分)和第6位最佳防守(5.0分)。

这是一场全国性的电视比赛，这意味着勇士队将全力以赴。看起来勇士队终于要回来了。德拉蒙德·格林会非常积极地去防守字母哥，但如果朱·霍勒迪不能上场，雄鹿队可能会遇到一些问题。在这种情况下，谁来防库里?金州勇士现在可能会赢，但应该能弥补差距。
