On Wednesday night, the Milwaukee Bucks will welcome the Orlando Magic to the Fiserv Forum for an Eastern Conference clash.
Both teams played the previous night, so it will be fascinating to observe their performance on the second night of back-to-back games. Their current records are also tightly matched in the leaderboard, making this game even more thrilling.
Will Giannis Antetokounmpo Play Against Magic Tonight?
The participation of Giannis Antetokounmpo in the match versus the Magic remains uncertain. Although he has luckily escaped injury to his left Achilles tendon, the timing of his return to play hinges on his response to treatment and rehabilitation for his strained calf, according to various league sources.
As the Bucks are playing at home for the second consecutive night, this offers a great opportunity to solidify their hold on the second seed in the Eastern Conference.
The past few weeks have been somewhat disappointing for the team, entering their mid-week back-to-back games on the back of a four-match losing streak and having lost six of their previous seven games.
With the playoffs imminent, this isn't the ideal momentum or confidence level the team would like to hold. However, one win can turn their fortunes around, potentially boosting their chances of securing the two-seed in the playoffs and potentially avoiding a road game against Orlando.
