2026-27 NBA Preseason: Wednesday's Picks

The 2026-27 NBA Preseason continues tonight with five games, including the Milwaukee Bucks facing the Oklahoma City Thunder at the Paycom Center. The Thunder rolled out their "B-squad" for their preseason opener on Tuesday, but head coach Mark Daigneault pointed directly to tonight's home matchup against Milwaukee as the official launching pad for OKC's primary rotation players such as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams. Milwaukee dropped its preseason opener 116-97 to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday and is dealing with a massive organizational shift following the trade of long-time cornerstone Giannis Antetokounmpo to Miami.
