Wizards vs Bucks will appear on the court to celebrate one of the first NBA games of 2023. The Eastern Conference does not allow many mistakes, as there are several teams that are trying to fight for the top spots, but there is only one team that stands above the rest, the Boston Celtics.
The Bucks had been on par with the Celtics, but they slackened off a bit in the last stretch of December, and now they are trying to bounce back up. The Wizards, on the other hand, have not found stability, but they are gradually raising their level.

Betting on Washington Wizards
- Season record: 15-21.
The Washington Wizards were having a hard time getting positive results, and went through a long dark period where they recorded 10 consecutive losses. They got back to their winning ways with a 113-110 win over the Phoenix Suns, and although they fell again to the Utah Jazz 120-112, they followed that up with three consecutive wins over the Sacramento Kings, the Philadelphia 76ers, and the Phoenix Suns.
They are still far from the best places in the Eastern Conference, but the illusion still remains as long as they are adding wins. They must face a commitment against the Orlando Magic to close the year, and they will start the year against a tough opponent, the Bucks.
Betting on the Milwaukee Bucks
- Season record: 22-12.
The Milwaukee Bucks started the season with a favorable streak of nine consecutive victories, they were fighting directly with the Boston Celtics to be the best team in the Eastern Conference. However, the team had some inaccuracies and it could not continue with its perfect record.
Right at this moment, many doubts are arising in team’s surroundings, as it has suffered four consecutive losses, to the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Brooklyn Nets, the Boston Celtics and the Chicago Bulls, which is setting off alarm bells. It is the only negative streak the team has had this season, and it will look to put an end to it in their last game of the year against the Minnesota Timberwolves, before the clash against the Wizards.
JefeBet Prediction
In addition to the fact that the Milwaukee Bucks have had a better performance, and that they are better positioned in the Eastern Conference, we can also consider the fact that they will play this game at home as something playing in their favor. They have only lost three of the 17 games they have played at home, and they are on a three-game winning streak.
The Bucks even haven’t lost a game against the Wizards, playing at home, since 2018, which makes a win more feasible for Milwaukee.
Prediction: Milwaukee Bucks win by 8 points.
