A new era begins for the Bucks after trading away their longtime superstar, Giannis Antetokounmpo. But he wasn't the only one to leave Milwaukee; Bobby Portis also departed at the same time the team parted ways with their now-former coach, Doc Rivers. Of course, the Bucks got something in return: sharpshooter Tyler Herro and other pieces acquired from the Miami Heat.

Now, the Bucks face a new season under head coach Taylor Jenkins, who previously served as an assistant coach for the team in 2018. Even so, it seems that the departure of so many stars has left the Bucks with little chance of making the playoffs, according to the sportsbooks. They will start the season as -4.5 underdogs when they open at Capital One Arena against the Wizards.

These revamped Wizards are looking for their first playoff appearance since 2017. They had the worst record in the NBA last season at 17-65, but a positive preseason and retaining Trae Young suggest Washington is more than serious this season.

Washington Wizards - Milwaukee Bucks Key Points

  1. Bucks' road record last season: 13-28

  3. Bucks finished last season losing 7 of their last 10 games
  4. Wizards had an 11-30 record last season

Our Washington Wizards vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction

The Wizards made their move midway through last season to acquire Young, who, recovering from injury, would only see 4 games of action in a Washington jersey. But a year later, with a $212 million contract, the superstar will be ready to start and in top form.

Also, by trading Ayton for Davis, the Wizards further strengthened their roster and will be able to surround this pair of successful and experienced talents with the young players who stood out last season.

Our prediction for Wizards vs Bucks is: Wizards -4.5.

Prediction:

 

Wizards -4.5
