Jason Kidd’s return marked a nice victory for the Bucks but then it was followed with losses. What could have been a fun week for Bucks basketball turned out to be a relatively normal week for the team.

Middleton, Monroe, and Antetokounmpo once again found themselves in the Milwaukee Bucks player of the week rankings and that shouldn’t come as a surprise. Those three have made the rankings more than any other Bucks players and they have each held the top spot more than any other player too.

Milwaukee cannot seem to make up any ground in the Eastern conference playoff race. As the season draws closer and closer to its end the Bucks look more and more likely to miss the playoffs. Perhaps this will work in their favor, however. A poor record will give them a good shot a top five draft pick and that could potentially be beneficial for a team trying to Own the Future.
