Washington Wizards vs Milwaukee Bucks (01-29-2026) game preview: When and where to watch, expected lineup, injury report, prediction, and more

When the Washington Wizards play the Milwaukee Bucks at Capital One Arena on Thursday, they have a good chance to start another winning run. The Wizards have a fantastic chance to win two straight games against a struggling Bucks team after snapping their nine-game losing streak against the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday.

With Giannis Antetokounmpo sidelined for the foreseeable future, Milwaukee has gone 1-6 in its previous seven games, and there is no hope. The game on Thursday should be a unique chance to witness our Wizards win because they are unquestionably the better club.
