Oklahoma City Thunder vs Milwaukee Bucks Predicted Starting Lineups and Depth Chart for Mar. 16 | NBA 2024-25 Season
The Oklahoma City Thunder will wrap up their three-game road trip with a showdown against the Milwaukee Bucks. Tonight's matchup is the first and only meeting between the two teams at the Fiserv Forum this season. Both squads enter the game aiming to extend their winning streaks to three.
Heading into tonight’s matchup, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and co. will be high on confidence after their dominant 125-96 victory over the Bucks in their only regular-season meeting on February 3.
While that was their lone clash in the regular season, the two teams also squared off in the finals of the 2024 NBA Cup. In that showdown, Milwaukee came out on top with a 97-81 win.
In a low-scoring battle, Giannis Antetokounmpo stole the spotlight with a monstrous triple-double, recording 26 points, 19 rebounds, and 10 assists. His performance eclipsed the efforts of the OKC’s All-Star duo, Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams, who combined for 39 points.
Oklahoma City has featured a plethora of players on their injury report. Hence, Doc Rivers’ team has been presented with a huge opportunity to capitalize on their home-court advantage and even the season series at one game apiece.
