Warriors and Bucks Set for Interconference Showdown
The Golden State Warriors take on the Milwaukee Bucks at Fiserv Forum on Tuesday night.

The Warriors (14-13) have been trending in the right direction of late, as they'll come into Tuesday's game having won six of their last nine contests. Their most recent success was notable, as they toppled the Boston Celtics by a 123-107 score on Saturday night. Klay Thompson led the Warriors with 34 points, adding five rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block. Stephen Curry delivered 32 points, seven assists, six rebounds and one block. Jordan Poole furnished 20 points, four assists, three rebounds and one block. Jonathan Kuminga registered 14 points, five boards and three assists. Draymond Green supplied 11 points, four rebounds, two assists and one block.

The Warriors will remain without Andrew Wiggins (groin) for Tuesday's contest. Green (ankle) will carry a probable tag.

The Bucks (19-7) have been even hotter than their opponent recently, as they're 7-2 in their last nine games. However, their most recent time on the floor resulted in a surprising 97-92 loss to the Houston Rockets on Sunday night. Jrue Holiday led the Bucks with 25 points, complementing them with eight assists, six rebounds and three steals. Bobby Portis generated a 17-point, 15-rebound double-double that included two assists. Giannis Antetokounmpo produced 16 points, 18 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal. Grayson Allen netted 11 points.

The Bucks will list Holiday (illness) as questionable and Khris Middleton (ankle) as probable for Tuesday's contest. Joe Ingles (knee) will remain out.

Tuesday's game marks the first of two meetings between the teams this season. Golden State and Milwaukee split their two-game 2021-22 regular-season series.
