Milwaukee Bucks: 3 things to watch on the road against Washington Wizards

When they last met

For those that need the reminder, the Bucks first met with the Wizards nearly a month ago back on January 28, a game that ended in a 151-131 victory for the league’s best team. A few things were notable in the Bucks’ win over the Wizards as it came without superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was sidelined with shoulder soreness.

As a result, it was All-Star swingman Khris Middleton who shouldered the load for the Bucks on the night as he finished with a career-high 51-point performance and did so on a remarkable 26 shots. Eric Bledsoe was no slouch himself as he posted a season-high 34 points on 20 shots to join forces with Middleton and power the Bucks to an incredibly decisive victory.

The Bucks as a whole finished with their most efficient offensive performance of the season by both offensive efficiency and true shooting percentage standards, per NBA.com/stats.

Crafting such an offensive performance and high mark without the reigning MVP only reinforces just how deep this Bucks team is, regardless of whether Antetokounmpo is on the floor or not.
