Milwaukee Bucks enter another crucial matchup as they prepare to face the Cleveland Cavaliers, looking to regain momentum after a deflating home loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Nov. 15. With their season marked by alternating wins and losses, the Bucks remain focused on preventing their first losing streak of the year—an impressive trend they have maintained despite fluctuating performances.
Milwaukee currently holds an 8-6 record, and tonight’s contest at Rocket Arena serves as an opportunity to course-correct. The Bucks previously fell to Cleveland (9-5) on Oct. 26, making this meeting more than just another regular-season game—it’s a chance to rewrite the narrative and gather rhythm as the season progresses.
Giannis Antetokounmpo’s playing status
The primary concern for Bucks fans has been the availability of franchise cornerstone Giannis Antetokounmpo. The two-time MVP is probable to take the floor, as he continues to manage discomfort in his left knee. He has already missed two games due to the issue, but signs point toward another strong outing from the superstar tonight.
Antetokounmpo has been listed with left patellar tendinopathy, but the team expects him to suit up barring any unexpected setback. His return is vital, especially as Milwaukee Bucks aim to stabilize their inconsistencies and avoid dropping consecutive matchups.
Complete Milwaukee Bucks Injury Report
The Bucks’ injury sheet remains short but meaningful. Aside from Giannis’ knee concerns, Milwaukee will be without two players who continue to recover from significant injuries:
Taurean Prince – OUT (neck surgery)
Kevin Porter Jr. – OUT (right meniscus surgery)
Giannis Antetokounmpo – PROBABLE (left patellar tendinopathy)
Projected Bucks starting lineup
Milwaukee is expected to field a lineup that can offer flexibility, scoring, and defensive balance. The likely starters for tonight include:
Guards: AJ Green, Ryan Rollins
Forwards: Kyle Kuzma, Giannis Antetokounmpo
Center: Myles Turner
With Giannis Antetokounmpo probable and the rest of the lineup intact, the Bucks will look to lean on their star power and depth to spark a turnaround performance.
As Milwaukee Bucks approaches another pivotal game, the spotlight remains firmly on Antetokounmpo’s availability.
