Through 3 Quarters
The Milwaukee Bucks were the heavy favorites here for a reason. After three quarters it's looking more and more like their high-powered offense is just too much for the Minnesota Timberwolves as Milwaukee lead 115-89.
The Bucks have been riding high on the performance of power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has 33 points and eight assists in addition to eight boards and two blocks. A double-double would be Antetokounmpo's eighth in a row.
Minnesota has been led by center Karl-Anthony Towns, who so far has 24 points and seven assists along with five rebounds. A double-double would be Towns' fourth in a row.
This is the most points Milwaukee has had yet this season going into the fourth quarter.

What to Know
The Minnesota Timberwolves are 2-8 against the Milwaukee Bucks since January of 2016, but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Tuesday. Minnesota's road trip will continue as they head to Fiserv Forum at 8 p.m. ET to face off against Milwaukee. The Bucks will be strutting in after a victory while Minnesota will be stumbling in from a defeat.
Minnesota was close but no cigar on Sunday as they fell 103-99 to the New York Knicks. A silver lining for Minnesota was the play of center Karl-Anthony Towns, who posted a double-double on 27 points and 15 boards along with three blocks.
Meanwhile, Milwaukee strolled past the Sacramento Kings with points to spare on Sunday, taking the contest 128-115. Power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo and small forward Khris Middleton were among the main playmakers for Milwaukee as the former dropped a double-double on 38 points and 18 rebounds and the latter had 32 points and six assists in addition to eight rebounds. That makes it seven consecutive games in which Antetokounmpo has had at least ten rebounds.
Minnesota is the clear underdog, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. Now might not be the best time to take Minnesota against the spread since they've let down bettors for the past four consecutive games.
Minnesota is now 7-24 while the Bucks sit at 18-13. A couple offensive stats to keep an eye on: The Timberwolves have only been able to knock down 43.80% percent of their shots, which is the third lowest field goal percentage in the league. Milwaukee's offense has more to brag about, as they they enter the game with a 48.60% field goal percentage, good for second best in the league. We'll see if their 4.80% advantage translates to a win.
