The latest Milwaukee Bucks Daily is here as a loss to the Houston Rockets sees the Bucks drop to eighth in the Eastern Conference standings.

In today’s edition of Milwaukee Bucks Daily, we look at the Bucks’ fall to eighth place and the potential implications of that drop-off, and much more.

With only three games separating the Bucks and the fourth placed Washington Wizards, there’s still the chance for Milwaukee to secure a more desirable seeding heading into the playoffs, particularly considering the softer schedule that’s now coming up for the Bucks.

Milwaukee Bucks: Falling to eighth in the East may not be so bad (read here): Josh Cornelissen of HoopsHabit makes the case for why if the Bucks are to end up in the lower echelons of the Eastern Conference playoffs, a matchup with the Raptors would be favorable to a clash with the Cavaliers. To add my personal thoughts here, although I agree with that sentiment, my preference would still be getting to sixth or better. The seventh or eighth spots would still leave the Bucks as major underdogs, while meaning they’d lose their first round pick too.
