Can Washington pull off an upset?
After taking a beating from the Los Angeles Clippers and James Harden (to the tune of 23 first half points of The Beard, total 43 in a bit over 30 minutes), the Wizards actually have a chance to surprise in this one, especially given the multiple starters that the Milwaukee Bucks might be resting.
On the other hand, the Bucks just won five in a row.

Pregame notes
What is the Wizards season plan?— The Wizards are very much tanking (Cooper Flagg alert), but what is their culture-building plan? Is playing Jordan Poole and Kyle Kuzma for 20 plus minutes helping that?
The Bucks might rest multiple players — Well, it makes sense. They’re on a winning streak, they’re playing the lowly Wizards, and Middleton has been slowly get back from injury. Why risk it?
