Welcome to Opposition Intel!
The Milwaukee Bucks are finally back at that .500 mark, after two months of sitting of comfortably above it, as the race for Eastern Conference Playoff places continues to heat up.
This truly is a must win game for the Bucks against the Brooklyn Nets, as the pressure continues to grow from those behind them, and their upcoming schedule is all set to get particularly brutal.
After tonight, Milwaukee’s next seven games see them square off against Cleveland, Miami, Indiana, Golden State, Atlanta, Chicago and Boston. Not a particularly fun stretch of games for a team struggling for form.
