As the Milwaukee Bucks have locked up their playoff berth, we look to a few players that are far from guaranteed of playing a prominent role in their upcoming playoff run.
Having clinched their playoff berth a couple of weeks ago, the Milwaukee Bucks are fully aware there is a bigger picture for them this 2019-20 season.
Their pursuit of finishing the season with 70 wins took a big hit over the last week and they’re currently mired in a three-game losing streak after a winless road trip out West. That trip also saw the Bucks dodge a big bullet with superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo suffering a minor knee sprain following a scary fall midway through their loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Antetokounmpo’s injury put plenty of things in perspective for all fans and certainly for the Bucks themselves as they have their eyes on a bigger prize.
While the playoffs are roughly five weeks away, it’s everything the Bucks have been building toward this season following their Conference Finals collapse last year.
But for some Bucks players deep within their supporting cast, there’s far from a guarantee that they will be given a fair shake as the Bucks vie for this year’s NBA title.
With that, let’s look ahead to the players that may have to adjust the most to whatever role they play within the Bucks’ rotation when the playoffs start in nearly a month.
