Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: Dec 26 vs Chicago Bulls
By Adam McGee
Major key for Milwaukee – Performing as a group
The Bucks will be desperately hoping for the return of Giannis Antetokounmpo on Tuesday night, and considering he was rested as a precaution as much as anything else, it would be a surprise if the Greek Freak didn’t suit up for Milwaukee.
With that in mind, the emphasis for the Bucks needs to return to scoring by committee and getting as many players involved as possible on the offensive end.
That starts with the star trio of Anteteokounmpo, Khris Middleton and Eric Bledsoe — remember, the Bucks are 8-0 when Bledsoe scores 20 points or more — but also extends to Malcolm Brogdon, Tony Snell, John Henson and Sean Kilpatrick, who have all performed well in supporting roles of late.
Having struggled to move the ball early in the season and only seeing that problem compounded by the addition of Bledsoe, the Bucks have looked less selfish over the past few weeks and have had some good wins as a result. There’s no doubting who the Bucks’ best player is, but the team as a whole is at their best when they can get firing as a unit.
