Thunder vs. Bucks prediction, picks

Justin Martinez: OKC 116, Milwaukee 114

Giannis Antetokounmpo will be a handful to contain. But Chet Holmgren should suit up after resting against Detroit, and OKC also has another 7-footer in Isaiah Hartenstein. That duo will do enough to slow down Antetokounmpo, and the Thunder will escape with a narrow road win.
