Will Giannis Antetokounmpo Play Against Magic Tonight?
In this battle against the Magic, Giannis Antetokounmpo will be absent as he's scheduled to be out until the end of the month.
Even though the competition intensified in the past weeks, the Bucks managed to secure the key victories required to attain the second position in the Eastern Conference standings.
Their recent record may show a slump with a 3-7 outcome in their last ten games, but crucial victories against Boston and Orlando in two of their last three games set their destiny.
They've found traveling to be challenging this season, reflected in their 18-21 record, which they obviously would prefer not to replicate in the forthcoming postseason games.
Will Damian Lillard Play Against Magic Tonight?
In the meantime, Damian Lillard's participation seems probable for the game against the Magic tonight. The Bucks, known for their heavy reliance on offense this season, rank in the top ten in numerous offensive aspects.
They hold the seventh rank in field-goal efficiency and the tenth rank in three-point percentage. However, they are likely to face stiff opposition against Orlando's robust defense.
Just a few nights back, Milwaukee's defense controlled the game against Orlando, restricting them to less than 100 points. In the absence of Giannis, Lillard will have more access to the ball.
This allows Khris Middleton to devise his strategy for the crucial playoff run. However, if Lillard is ruled out due to a game-time decision, this could potentially pose a problem for the Bucks.
