After win over Sixers, and Raptors on Tuesday, Bucks playing trap game Monday in D.C.
It’s the definition of a trap game, if there is such a thing in the NBA’s 82-game regular season.
The Milwaukee Bucks, fresh off a blowout win over their Eastern Conference rival Sixers, head to the Washington Wizards on Monday, right before playing the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday — the team that, as any NBA fan knows, ended their chances at the NBA Finals.
Coverage for Bucks at Wizards begins at 5:30 p.m. on WKTY.
Tune in on 96.7 FM / 580 AM.
The Bucks have the best record in the NBA (48-8) — 4.5 games ahead of the Lakers and 6.5 ahead of Toronto.
Getting the 2015-16 Golden State Warriors 73-wins record would take some kind of miracle run to end the year, but Milwaukee did just destroy the Sixers. If it manages to win in Toronto on the second night of a back-to-back, it might not be out of the question.
Washington is 20-35 but Bradley Beal is arguably the best shooting guard in the league, averaging 29.1 points and 6.6 assists and has some solid players for a supporting cast.
If the Wizard are going to win, though, it’s because the Bucks are riding high after beating Joel Embiid and the Sixers, and looking ahead to Tuesday’s rematch with Pascal Siakam and the Kawhi Leonard-less Raptors.
