A massive inter-conference affair headlines the NBA slate on Tuesday night, as the Golden State Warriors and Milwaukee Bucks square off in the Cream City. Milwaukee has lived up to every bit of the hype this year so far, while the Warriors have failed to do so in the early stages of their title defense. In our NBA betting picks for Tuesday night, look closely at this Warriors vs Bucks matchup.

This game will be played at Fiserv Forum at 7:30 PM ET on Tuesday, December 13, 2022.
Why Bet The Bucks:
✅ Milwaukee has been one of the best home teams in the NBA so far this season. They are 12-3 at Fiserv Forum on the year thus far. Meanwhile, the Warriors are a miserable 2-11 in road games in the 2022-23 campaign.
✅ Milwaukee is set to be reasonably healthy for this contest in Milwaukee. Khris Middleton is probable for the game for the Bucks. And while Jrue Holiday is also listed as day to day for the Bucks, they will at most be missing one player, while the Warriors are dealing with an injury to Andrew Wiggins.
✅ This is the first leg of a Midwest back to back for the Warriors, who play in Indiana on Wednesday night. If things do not start out well for the Warriors here, we could see them rely more heavily on their putrid bench to conserve their top players for Indiana.

Golden State Warriors
The Golden State Warriors come into this contest in Milwaukee as the ninth-place team in the Western Conference. They did win their last game and have won four out of six, but hitting the road for a back to back is dangerous for a team that is just 2-11 away from Chase Center on the year. Here, they are tasked with slowing down Giannis Antetokoumpo and the Bucks on the road, which is no easy task for any team.
For the Warriors, the question coming into this game will be if they can match the depth of the Milwaukee Bucks. The bench unit for the Warriors has the worst net rating of any bench unit in the NBA. They will need to play over their heads here for the Warriors to have a chance to beat Milwaukee.
Milwaukee Bucks
The Milwaukee Bucks come into this game at 19-7 on the season, just one game back of the Boston Celtics for the top spot in the Eastern Conference. Milwaukee will aim to stay red hot at home in this game, as they have won 80% of their games at Fiserv Forum on the year thus far. To get another win at home, the Bucks will have to be locked in on defense on Tuesday night.
Playing against the Warriors always means being aware of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson on the other side. While the Bucks are a more well-rounded team as a whole, the three-point shooting of the Warriors could always level the playing field. That will make three-point defense even more important than usual for Milwaukee here.
