PREVIEW: The Milwaukee Bucks (14-19) will face the Washington Wizards (7-24) on December 31 , with the contest taking place Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. The Bucks are starting to turn things around after winning three of their past four games , riding momentum from their 123-113 victory against the Charlotte Hornets on the road. The Wizards have lost each of their last 11 night games following a home loss, while the Bucks have won 10 of their last 11 home games against Washington . Though Milwaukee enters as a sizable favorite, these teams have already met twice this season with each side winning a game at home , suggesting Washington could provide a competitive challenge. Giannis Antetokounmpo anchors the Bucks with 28.7 points and 9.7 rebounds per game , while Bobby Portis has been a force off the bench, shooting 47.3 percent from three-point range, the third best in the league. For the Wizards, CJ McCollum provides 18.6 points per game alongside Alex Sarr, who contributes 17.5 points and 8.0 rebounds. Each of the Bucks' last six home games have fallen under the total points line, while the Wizards' last five road games against Eastern Conference opponents have also gone under. Milwaukee's transition offense poses significant problems for Washington's defense, while the Bucks' rebounding strength should prove decisive against a Wizards team struggling to secure defensive boards.
