Bryn Forbes shooting has been a rising trend for the Milwaukee Bucks
Without question, Bryn Forbes has been absolutely on fire for the Milwaukee Bucks as evidenced by the fact that Forbes has scored in double digits in each of his last seven appearances.’
Forbes is averaging 15.1 points on 40-for-68 shooting from the field (58.8 percent) and 23-for-41 from 3-point range (56.1 percent), along with 3.4 rebounds and 0.9 assists over this double-digit scoring streak. And he managed to set in a career-high 30 points in the Bucks’ embarrassing loss to the Rockets late last month.
With Forbes carrying such a hot hand, the 27-year-old is etching his name among the Bucks’ record books with the incredibly strong efficiency he’s posting this season.
All of it has helped Forbes finish out his own season on such a high note and worm his way into having a sizeable role in the Bucks’ rotation going into the start of their playoff run this season.
