The Milwaukee Bucks are preparing for a road game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, looking to secure momentum before the NBA All-Star break. Milwaukee has been playing better recently, winning four of their last five games. Star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo remains sidelined with a calf strain, missing his ninth consecutive game, though his return is anticipated shortly after the break.
The Bucks' recent performance includes impressive scoring outputs and a rare defensive stand, holding an opponent under 100 points. However, they face a formidable opponent in the Oklahoma City Thunder, who possess the league's best home record.

This game marks the final meeting between the two teams this season, with both sides missing key players due to injury. The Thunder have dominated recent matchups against the Bucks, winning the last four by significant margins. Despite the historical trend, the Bucks are looking to an underdog role to spark an upset.
