Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks (42-25) will take on Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors (45-22) in part of the Saturday NBA slate.

The Golden State Warriors have started to show some signs of life having won their last two consecutive games. However, they still are just 3-7 in their last 10 games and were recently surpassed by the Memphis Grizzlies for the second spot in the Western Conference standings.
