Milwaukee Bucks: 3 players that could go on a tear down the final stretch

The Milwaukee Bucks have battled through the highs and the lows extensively this year, but a very hectic regular season is nearing an end.

Despite the recurring adversity to hit the roster, the Bucks have plowed through that wall for the most part by sitting at third place in the Eastern Conference standings with a 33-20 record. With 19 games left to go before the playoffs begin, all eyes have shifted towards whether or not the Bucks can close the regular season on a high note.

Building up momentum will be pivotal as the team loads up for another postseason run, which is only made more challenging by the barrage of injuries to recently hit the roster.

Still, the Bucks’ depth runs deep, and there are several players in particular that could go on a tear for the remainder of regular season action with the team needing a boost.

With that being said, here are three players that could go on a tear to finish off the regular season.

Bryn Forbes could go on a tear for the Milwaukee Bucks

Since signing with Milwaukee in free agency, Bryn Forbes has not been shy about letting it fly from distance this season.

Heaving 4.8 shots from deep per contest, the guard is making good on the opportunity by connecting on a career-best 44.9 percent of those shots. The guard has provided an essential spark off of the Bucks’ bench this year with his red-hot shooting, and he could undoubtedly catch fire down the stretch.

If his last two performances speak any volume, he may already have. Forbes has scored a combined 31 points in Milwaukee’s last two matchups, shooting 12-of-24 from the floor, including 6-of-13 from behind the arc. Cooling down Forbes is a tall task when he is heating up, and it appears that he has gotten himself into a nice rhythm.

Although these two games are a small sample size, the guard could undoubtedly sustain this momentum throughout the team’s final 19 games. Forbes has been given the green light from long range all year, and his efforts have bolstered a Milwaukee bench that currently holds the second best 3-point mark in the league at 40.5 percent. As long as his teammates continue to get him looks, Forbes will not be hesitant about letting it fly.
