The Golden State Warriors will visit the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday, October 30, at Fiserv Forum with several injury concerns on both sides. The matchup, set for 8:00 PM ET, could see significant changes to rotations depending on player availability.
Golden State will be without De’Anthony Melton and Alex Toohey due to knee and ACL issues. Moses Moody is listed as questionable with soreness in his right thumb, raising questions about the Warriors’ backcourt depth.
Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler remain healthy and are expected to carry the offensive load, averaging 27.0 and 21.4 points per game, respectively. Jonathan Kuminga continues to impress with 16.2 points, 7.4 assists, and 5.2 rebounds per game, providing versatility in the frontcourt.
On the Milwaukee side, Giannis Antetokounmpo is probable despite soreness in his left knee, while Kevin Porter Jr. is out with a left ankle sprain. The Bucks will rely on Antetokounmpo’s dominant inside presence, with 36.3 points and 14 rebounds per game, to anchor both ends of the floor.
Other contributors for the Bucks include Ryan Rollins and Gary Trent Jr., averaging 15.3 and 13.5 points per contest, while Myles Turner continues to patrol the paint with 6.8 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game.
The Warriors have posted a 4-1 record, highlighted by a 42-point performance from Curry in an overtime win over Denver and a team-high 25 points from Kuminga in the victory against Memphis. Meanwhile, the Bucks are 3-1 after a close loss to Cleveland and back-to-back home wins, including 37 points from Antetokounmpo against the Knicks.
Thursday’s game could feature limited minutes for Moody and Antetokounmpo depending on pregame evaluations. Depth players such as Brandin Podziemski and Draymond Green will likely see increased roles if starters are restricted.
