The road Bucks enter this contest as the only remaining undefeated team in the NBA at 7-0 straight up. The Bucks are 6-1 so far against the spread and are coming off a 116-91 blowout victory over the Detroit Pistons at home.
The home Timberwolves are 4-4 on the year straight up and are coming off two straight losses, the most recent a 116-107 loss to the Phoenix Suns.
The ‘Wolves last played on Wednesday while the Bucks last played Thursday night.
Milwaukee Bucks
Milwaukee’s last outing against Detroit was a convincing one, but the outing right before was far closer. That’s notable because it was also a home game against Detroit—a 110-108 win, which was the team’s closest contest this season.
On the year, Milwaukee is posting 113.3 points per game, led by Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 33.6 points per contest. That 113.3 number is only good enough for 18th in the league through about two and a half weeks. But Giannis’ 33.6 puts the star at No. 2 behind only the unreal 36.1 points-per-game average of Luka Doncic.
Looking at advanced stats—Offensive Efficiency, to be exact—the Bucks are scoring 109.8 points per 100 possessions. That number slots the Bucks right into the middle of the league at 15th as of this writing late Thursday night.
Defensively, the Bucks are giving up 102 points per game—a number good enough for the No. 1 spot by a relative long shot.
Per 100 possessions, Milwaukee gives up 100 points on average. That number is also good enough for No. 1 by a wide margin, but to put it into better context: The No. 2 Cleveland Cavaliers are giving up an even 103 PP100. That three-point difference is nearly the same as the gap between the Cavs and the No. 8 (!!) Minnesota Timberwolves (105.9).
Minnesota Timberwolves
The Timberwolves, on the year, are scoring 114.1 points per game, led by Anthony Edwards’ 23.1 PPG. That 114.1 PPG slots the Timberwolves into the No. 14 spot so far this season, a tie with the Denver Nuggets and a virtual tie with the No. 15 Portland Trail Blazers (114.0).
In terms of advanced stats, the ‘Wolves are posting a less-impressive 107.9 points per 100 possessions—a number only good enough for 23rd across the Association.
Defensively, Minnesota gives us 113.5 points per contest. That number puts the Timberwolves in the 17th spot across the league.
Looking at points allowed per 100 possessions, the team gives up just 105.9 points on average. That number boosts the team up to No. 8 in the rankings more than two weeks into the near year.

Free Milwaukee Bucks vs. Minnesota Timberwolves NBA Prediction:
The Timberwolves have shown flashes of…not so much brilliance but at least…figuring it out. This game, however, might end up looking like a Bucks blowout when it’s all said and done.
Milwaukee enters this one as the only undefeated team and should exit with that status still intact.
Bucks win, and Bucks win big.
