PREDICTION: MILWAUKEE , GOLDEN STATE

Oddsmakers currently have the MILWAUKEE listed as 1.5 point favorites versus the GOLDEN STATE, while the game’s total is sitting at 239.5.

Fresh off a trouncing of their former NBA Finals rivals and looking much more like themselves of late, the Golden State Warriors are seeking revenge for one of their worst losses. The Warriors, who suffered a 134-111 home loss to the Bucks on Nov. 8, will try to ride red-hot Stephen Curry to a victory when they visit Milwaukee on Friday.

Curry went down with a groin injury in the Nov. 8 meeting that kept him out the next 11 games, but he is quickly rediscovering his MVP form upon his return and followed up 30 points in a win at Atlanta on Monday with 42 on 11-of-20 shooting in Wednesday’s 129-105 triumph at Cleveland. The two-time MVP is 15-of-24 from 3-point range over the last two games, during which Golden State is averaging 128.5 points. The Bucks bounced back from a tough loss at New York by breezing past the Detroit Pistons 115-92 on Wednesday. “I thought the effort by our guys was very good and the togetherness, I felt like we were very together defensively,” Milwaukee coach Mike Budenholzer told reporters. “Sometimes you take three or four days without a game and it can be not good, but it’s good to see our guys come out off the start with a good aggressiveness on both ends and find a way to beat a good team.”

ABOUT THE WARRIORS (17-9): Curry’s scoring blitz overshadowed another strong game on Wednesday from All-Star forward Kevin Durant, who collected 25 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists in 34 minutes. Durant is 19-of-29 from the floor in the last two games while totaling 17 assists and 15 boards. Fellow power forward Jonas Jerebko is on a hot streak as well and is 18-of-25 from the floor over the last four games.

ABOUT THE BUCKS (16-7): Bucks point guard Eric Bledsoe scored 26 points on 10-of-12 shooting in the Nov. 8 victory at Golden State and was just as effective on Wednesday, when he raced around the Pistons for 27 points on 10-of-17 shooting in 26 minutes. “I feel great,” Bledsoe told reporters. “We have a great group of guys that can get it going at any time. I just try to do other things to help the team win. Those 50-50 balls always win games.” Bledsoe added four assists and four steals to his collection on Wednesday and averages 5.9 assists and 1.4 thefts.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Bucks PF D.J. Wilson (hamstring) made his season debut on Wednesday and scored seven points in six minutes off the bench.

2. Warriors PF Draymond Green (toe) could return on Monday.

3. Golden State won its last two trips to Milwaukee.

PREDICTION: Warriors 123, Bucks 119

PREDICTION: MILWAUKEE , CLEVELAND

Oddsmakers currently have the MILWAUKEE listed as -14 point favorites versus the CLEVELAND, while the game’s total is sitting at 221.5.

Three days after their involvement in a three-team, five-player trade, the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers and Milwaukee Bucks square off on Monday. The Cavaliers shipped veteran point guard George Hill to the Bucks on Friday while acquiring guard Matthew Dellavedova and center John Henson from Milwaukee in the deal that also involved Washington.

Both teams dropped their first game after the trade before picking up wins over the weekend, with the Bucks making a big statement on Sunday by knocking off Eastern Conference-leading Toronto on the road. Giannis Antetokounmpo finished with 19 points and a season high-tying 19 rebounds while Malcolm Brogdon hit a pair of late 3-pointers as part of an 18-point effort as Milwaukee improved to 10-3 against the East. Cleveland hit 15 3-pointers and shot 52.8 percent in a 116-101 home win over the Wizards on Saturday. Rookie Collin Sexton scored 29 points and Tristan Thompson recorded 23 and 19 rebounds as the Cavaliers improved to 4-6 following a 2-14 start.

ABOUT THE CAVALIERS (6-20): Cleveland had a 49-33 advantage on the glass against Washington while turning over the ball just nine times. “We had guys that stepped up and played really well,” coach Larry Drew told reporters. “It was one of those games that we got into a pretty good rhythm.” All the roster fluctuations gave little-used forward Jalen Jones a chance to contribute Saturday, and he did so in a big way with a 4-for-4 effort from beyond the arc.

ABOUT THE BUCKS (17-8): Center Brook Lopez also chipped in 19 points while making 5-of-8 3-pointers and Brogdon sank a total of three shots from beyond the arc while improving to 16-for-26 from long range over a five-game span. “We’re a really good team this year,” Brogdon said during a postgame television interview. “We have confidence in ourselves, we’re resilient, we got a coach that has confidence in us every night, win or lose.” Hill and forward Jason Smith, who came over from Washington in Friday’s trade, were with the team Sunday but did not see any action in the win.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Thompson has collected exactly 19 rebounds in three of his five games this month.

2. Bucks SF Khris Middleton is 20-for-65 from the floor over a five-game span.

3. The teams meet again in Cleveland on Friday and have two more matchups in March that also are just four days apart.

PREDICTION: Bucks 113, Cavaliers 105
