Thunder at Bucks notable injuries

Advice and prediction

While the Thunder have been a pleasant surprise so far this season being .500 eight games into the season, the Bucks are just on a whole different level.

Entering the game, the Bucks are second and the Thunder are 16th in net rating. The Thunder — specifically Shai Gilgeous-Alexander — have been good this season and exceeded expectations, but the Bucks should make easy work of them.

The only thing in the Thunder’s favor is the fact that the Bucks played a 9 p.m. CT tip game in Minnesota on Friday, so it’s less than a 24 hour turnaround between games. But even with possible travel fatigue, the Bucks should still be able to win this game.

Prediction: Bucks 118, Thunder 104
