Finale

Although it’s far too early for must-win games, this one does matter. The Bucks would likely fall out of the eighth spot for the moment if they lose to San Antonio, and they could probably end up moving up a spot if they win.

It’s too early for this to matter a ton though, and with an easier contest against the Miami Heat coming up the Bucks will have a chance to redeem themselves soon anyway. Still, this should be a good one considering how Giannis is playing this season.

A huge win over the Spurs in their building would definitely help with his All-Star push, as it would on the Eastern Conference standings sheet. The Bucks will have a shot to win against pretty much anybody now–let’s see if they can do it on Tuesday.
