The Milwaukee Bucks will travel to the Capital One Arena to face the Washington Wizards in the NBA on Monday night. The Wizards (2-16) are bottom of the Eastern Conference standings, while the Bucks (9-12) are 11th. Let’s get into the match prediction.

It’s tough being a Wizards fan right now. The team is the worst in the league this season with just two wins and enter this one following a 119-86 drubbing by the depleted Pacers over the weekend. 

Perhaps the biggest concerns for Washington are that they are severely lacking quality, nor do they have any promising youngsters who could carry the franchise forward in the future. 

Alex Sarr scored 24 points in the loss to Indiana. Behind him was Khris Middleton, but he only scored half as many points. Adding to their issues, Sarr is listed as questionable for this match. 

Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Bucks have had troubles of their own this season, but will be feeling a little better after snapping their seven-match losing streak with a 116-99 victory over the Nets. 

Giannis Antetokounmpo rediscovered some rhythm in the last match and ended with 29 points. As a team, the Bucks shot 52% from the field and converted 16 of 39 from beyond the arc. 

With the red-hot Pistons, 76ers and Celtics to come after this match, a big performance feels crucial for Milwaukee tonight. Taurean Prince is ruled out for the visitors through injury.
