The Milwaukee Bucks secured the best record in the NBA and clinched the No. 1 in the Eastern Conference following their 105-92 win over the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday.
The Bucks won the game without Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was out due to right knee soreness. The team now is 11-6 without Antetokounmpo.
“A great advantage and something to be proud of for the regular season,” said Brook Lopez after the game.
Khris Middleton also left the game due to right knee soreness and did not return.
Mike Budenholzer was unsure whether Middleton would appear in the final two games of the season.
Grayson Allen is also expected to miss the rest of the regular season.
