Preview:
The Wolves have lost each one of their 3 road games while winning both of their home games. Facing the rejuvenated Bucks now coached by Mike Budenholzer, the Wolves will be put in plenty of bothersome spots through the course of the night. Karl-Anthony Towns has been markedly better on the defensive end so far, but Thibs' offense continues to marginalize him in a manner unfitting for the best scoring center in the league.
The Jimmy Butler-Wiggins-Towns standoff doesn't seem to have affected the Wolves play so far, but there's only so much they can expect to get out of a team with a fractured chemistry. Wiggins is probably still unavailable through injury, and that might be a decisive change.
Matchup to look out for: Jimmy Butler vs Giannis Antetokounmpo
Prediction: The Bucks beat the Wolves handily (10-15 points)
