Finale

This will be a tough one for the Milwaukee Bucks. The Clippers are a serious contender, even if nobody is talking about them much right now. Paul, Griffin and Jordan are the stars here, but with some auxiliary pieces in place Los Angeles is in position to make a run.

The Bucks are not. Milwaukee is reeling after losing Jabari Parker and now Michael Beasley, and with Giannis slumping the Bucks do not have much going for them. More bizarre lineup changes and rotations likely await Bucks fans on Friday night.

Milwaukee may not be mathematically out of the playoff race at the moment, but something about this team just feels off right now. The Bucks aren’t clicking, and they don’t have much time to figure out why before they’ll be lottery-bound again.
