Oklahoma City Thunder at Milwaukee Bucks Preview & Picks

Oklahoma City are tipped to cover as they wrap up this road trip with a win.

The Thunder are dealing with a bunch of injuries, but they continue to pick up victories and Milwaukee have a couple of key pieces on the injury report heading into this.

  • Oklahoma City Thunder are 6-1 in their previous 7 games
  • Oklahoma City Thunder are 3-1-0 ATS in the last 4 games
  • Milwaukee Bucks are 0-5-0 ATS in their last 5 games
  • The Under has cashed in each of the previous 3 meetings

Head To Head

  • The all-time series is tied at 80-80
  • Oklahoma City Thunder won 121-105 when the two teams last met in March 2025

Oklahoma City Thunder Form

Oklahoma City go into their final game on this road trip in good form, having won six of their previous seven games.

The Thunder fell to back-to-back defeats earlier this month, but rebounded with a 129-125 overtime victory when they played host to Utah.

They backed that up on the road as they beat Memphis 117-116, before heading back home to down Miami 124-112 and San Antonio 119-98.

Oklahoma City then made it five wins in a row as they kicked off this trip with a 111-91 victory in Houston, but failed to record a sixth straight win as they fell 122-120 in Miami.

The Thunder’s response was swift though, as they rebounded with a 136-104 blowout of the Cavaliers in Cleveland on Monday.

Milwaukee Bucks Form

Milwaukee return home on the back of a victory that brought an end to a three-game losing skid.

The Bucks made a solid start to 2026 as they backed up a 122-121 win over Charlotte with a 115-98 victory in Sacramento.

They then rebounded from a 120-113 defeat at Golden State with a 105-101 victory at the Los Angeles Lakers, but that would be the last time they would win for 10 days.

Milwaukee fell to a 108-104 defeat in Denver, and that was followed by a 139-106 home loss to Minnesota and a 119-101 defeat in San Antonio.

The Bucks avoided a fourth straight defeat however, as they beat the Hawks in Atlanta, 112-110.

Verdict

Oklahoma City have a bunch of players on the injury report, but they continue to pick up victories.

The Thunder have won three of the previous four meetings too, so give us the visitors against a Milwaukee team that could be missing Porter Jr and Turner.
