The Milwaukee Bucks will hope to pick up an important win as the San Antonio Spurs visit the Bradley Center for a Sunday matinee start.
The San Antonio Spurs have always presented a tough matchup for the Milwaukee Bucks when they’ve visited the Bradley Center, and Sunday afternoon will be no different as Gregg Popovich’s team come to the building for the last time.
Although the Spurs have had an up-and-down season, largely attributable to the absence of Kawhi Leonard, San Antonio has won six straight games to create a little separation between themselves and the back of the pack in the West.
In fact, the Spurs are now closer to third place than they are to eighth place.

All of that won’t make this particular game any easier for a struggling Bucks team, who may still be without their own best player on Sunday afternoon.
Giannis Antetokounmpo was reported to have taken full part in Saturday’s practice session, but is still officially deemed as questionable with an ankle injury he picked up last Wednesday.
Still, a win over the Chicago Bulls and losses for some of their rivals have given the Bucks some life in their own playoff race, and a win against the Spurs could prove really important at the end of the season.
With all of that in mind, let’s take a closer look at the action ahead, and see which team can prevail on Sunday afternoon.
