OKC vs MIL Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Oklahoma City Thunder vs Milwaukee Bucks

OKC vs MIL Dream11: NBA has been now moving into the Postseason window and before that, we will get a taste of the Playoffs anyway. Why? Well, the window to make the Play-in tournament or finish in the top rankings is dwindling and now it is time for various teams to figure out their combinations and make a hard push. The race to the top is always intriguing but hey, so is the race to the Play-in tournament, the League has a lot of offer in terms of teams, so yes, there is a lot to keep an eye on a daily basis. So, let us now peer into the game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Thunder has been an inexperienced team this season and when you have four of your main-five players absent, it can certainly hit the team balance. However, there is no urgency for the Thunder to make the Playoffs as their main priority all along the way has been the development of the young players. So, in that manner, a lot has been achieved.

On the other hand, the Bucks surely have a lot of achieving to do. They are the defending champions and they have been riding the hot hand of multiple players to cruise forward. They are on a four-game winning streak and with the way things are going in the East, putting together a big winning streak is essential.

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Bucks: The title defense is on
The Bucks have been doing a wonderful job of keeping the win train rolling and with the way the East is heating up, it will be a tight race with the Heat, the 76ers, Bulls, and Celtics for the top or for the top-two/three/four spots. See, although the Heat has formed a decent distance from others to secure the top spot, the two-five ranked teams are in a close tussle. Surely, this happens every season in both the Conferences but this time around, the East certainly looks deeper from the first to eleventh rank. This is a great Conference to follow because of the sheer depth and the way the Bulls, Heat, Celtics, Cavaliers, and Raptors have turned around the season.

Giannis continues to be the major force for the Bucks but it is his combination at the Forward with Middleton that makes this one of the best Forward duos in the league(if not the best). Jrue Holiday at the PG has done a great job running the show while Bobby Portis has done a great job in the middle. Serge Ibaka has given some much-needed depth upfront but the team will need Pat Connaughton and Brook Lopez to return soon because they lack the bench depth of the last season. Although Giannis is the significant player for the team mostly, they have been hammering home some quality production on the back of Middleton and Holiday too.

Thunder: Young, hurt but promising
The Thunder has been playing without their rookie guard Josh Giddey recently and he has been the leading rebounder, playmaker, and was also improving his offense. His development means that his pairing with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander can become sizzling in the future. Shai has led the Thunder in scoring and he keeps dropping 30+ points most nights but that is also a sign that the team lacks multiple offensive options at this point. And why is that? Well, the second-highest scorer in Luguentz Dort has also been missing, which has hurt both ends of the floor. The injury count also involves Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, who gave terrific rebounding and defense.

While there is a solid foundation from the PG to SF positions, the team has also seen decent production from Center Aleksej Pokusevski. The big Forward position has seen decent returns from Darius Bazley but the concern is that the frontline is still not that well-built. While Giddey, Shai, and Dort can become one of the best trios in the league going ahead, the Thunder has a lot of work to improve their three-point shooting, address rebounding issues, and also shore up the bench in the long run. How will they play it out during the upcoming draft?
