Bucks return to action after four days off against last place Wizards
The Milwaukee Bucks have dug themselves out of a hole and climbed back to .500. They will burn off the Thanksgiving meals to hopefully continue their winning ways against the Washington Wizards.
Where We’re At
Hey, there are the Milwaukee Bucks we know and love. They win games and defend, and Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard have moments of brilliance, as do contributions from the bench. The Bucks have won five straight games and seven of their last ten. This past week has seen strong performances against teams who have been thorns in their sides, like the Miami Heat and the Indiana Pacers.
The Wizards have been typical Wizards. They are still struggling, sporting a 2-15 record, and things don’t seem to get better, with Washington losing 13 games in a row. If there is any positive, Jordan Poole isn’t a complete disaster. The Milwaukee native is shooting 43% from three, which is a career-high for him. The Wizards must carry on with their rebuild and hope for the best by landing the first pick in next year’s draft and acquiring Cooper Flagg.
Injury Report
While Khris Middleton has been participating in five-on-five workouts, he will not play tomorrow. Giannis Antetokounmpo and MarJon Beauchamp are listed as probable. Tyler Smith, AJ Johnson, Liam Robbins, and Chris Livingston will all be out on G-League duty. For Washington, Kyle Kuzma, Tristan Vukcevic, and Saddiq Bey are all out.
Player To Watch
Alex Sarr hasn’t been impressive this season. The second overall pick in the 2024 draft averages 10.8 PPG and 6.3 RPG but shoots a poor 38.1% from the field. It’s tough for Sarr to do anything with this shipwreck, but he needs to find a way to assert himself as the franchise’s future.
