Milwaukee Bucks Team News:
Bucks field their second-string side in the last game, but we expect them to look more like the first team here in front of their own fans.
The reason being head coach Mike Budenholzer’s statement after the Tuesday practice session.
“My guess is yes,” Mike Budenholzer on whether Giannis, Middleton and other stars will be playing in this game. “I’ll probably check with them and make sure they want to play. Usually, they say yes, so I would expect to see most if not all of those guys.”
But DJ Wilson will be missing the match through a hamstring injury.
