Milwaukee Bucks host Washington Wizards in this 2025-26 NBA Eastern Conference matchday one fixture on Thursday. Can the Bucks overcome the Wizards to kick off their campaign on a winning note? Here is our prediction for the match.
Milwaukee Bucks couldn't have asked for a stronger finish to the NBA regular season last term. The Bucks aced their final eight matches in the regular season to finish fifth in the rankings with a .585 winning percentage.
However, they crashed out in the playoffs first round following a 4-1 series defeat to Indiana Pacers. This includes a 119-118 defeat to the Pacers in Game 5 of the series. Nevertheless, Doc Rivers' side enter this match as the favorites. They have won nine of their last 13 NBA matches, including five of their last six home NBA fixtures.
Washington Wizards finished last in the Eastern Conference last season with a .0220 winning percentage. They defeated Miami Heat 119-118 in their final match to end a five-game losing streak.
Notably, Brian Keefe's side have lost each of their last three meetings with Milwaukee Bucks, two of which by 11 points or more. They have also suffered defeats in their last four trips to face the Bucks, three of which by double-digit margins.

Our Milwaukee Bucks vs Washington Wizards Prediction
Both teams will look to begin their NBA campaign this season on a winning note. However, we expect a largely one-sided affair as they lock horns on Thursday. Milwaukee Bucks have dominated their recent NBA home fixtures and will have the backing of the Milwaukee crowd to rely on.

They have lost their last three matches against Milwaukee Bucks, including their last four trips to Milwaukee, mostly by double-digit margins. Our Milwaukee Bucks vs Washington Wizards prediction is Milwaukee Bucks -10.5 handicap points.
