Coming off a 132-122 win against the Phoenix Suns, the Milwaukee Bucks have started rounding out into form as the playoffs approach. With a 40-25 record, the Bucks found themselves on a four-game winning streak following their win on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the OKC Thunder are coming off a 103-116 loss against the Utah Jazz at home. With their second consecutive loss, the Thunder found themselves falling to 20-44 on the season.

Tuesdays showcase will also be the final meeting between the two sides this season. With Milwaukee emerging as winners in the previous game, the Thunder will look to level the series at home.

Milwaukee Bucks

• The Milwaukee Bucks win against the Phoenix Suns was more of a statement win than anything else. After losing their first matchup against the Suns this season, the Bucks managed to level the series.
• The game saw a close battle throughout. Phoenix put up an impressive battle as they played without Chris Paul and Devin Booker. The Bucks took advantage of the situation and dominated down the stretch as they notched a massive fourth-quarter to blow the game open.
• While Giannis Antetokounmpo put in a solid performance, the key contributor for Milwaukee in this game was Khris Middleton. Featuring an impressive 44-point outing, the Bucks enjoyed Middletons performance and the win. It also added to their existing three-game winning streak.

Key Player - Jrue Holiday

Jrue Holiday will be a key player for the Milwaukee Bucks in their upcoming road fixture. Holiday has been an integral part of the Bucks rotation since their championship run. Coming off a performance of 24-points and nine assists in the win against Phoenix, the Bucks guard will be key in the upcoming game as well.

While Holiday is an extremely potent offensive player, he will have a bigger role on the defensive end against the Thunder. Matched up against Gilgeous-Alexander, the 31-year old will draw on the task of locking down the Thunder star.

As the anchor on perimeter defense, Holiday will have to be a solid communicator to make up for Grayson Allens absence.

OKC Thunder

• The OKC Thunder continue to feature in the lowest rung of the Western Conference. With one of the worst records in the league, the Thunder were completely outmatched in their game against Utah.
• The loss to the Utah Jazz was a rather one-sided affair. With Utah leading for the majority of the game, the Thunder had little to offer against Utahs lights-out shooting from beyond the arc.
• Although Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had an impressive night and Aleksej Pokusevskis double-double was quite the highlight, the Thunder were quite shorthanded as they saw Luguentz Dort and Josh Giddey out with injuries.

Key Player - Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will be a key player for the OKC Thunder in their upcoming home fixture.

Gilgeous-Alexander has had an incredible season with the Thunder. Emerging as a potential star in the future, Shai is recording an average of 24.0 points, 4.9 rebounds and 5.6 assists this season.

Coming off a 33 point outing in the game against the Jazz, Shai has notched a significant uptick in scoring in his last 10 games. With an average of 33.3 points per game in that span of time, the 23-year old has been an absolute offensive force for the Thunder.
