The Milwaukee Bucks will host the Sacramento Kings on Monday at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. With Giannis Antetokounmpo leading the way, the Bucks have shown flashes of brilliance this season, improving their record significantly. However, inconsistency has plagued the team recently, as they have gone 3-3 in their last six games. Their most recent outing resulted in a loss to the New York Knicks.
The upcoming game could prove difficult for the Bucks if Giannis is unable to play. He is listed as probable in the latest injury report due to right patella tendinopathy.

“Yeah, we’re horrible. We’ve gotta get our stuff together. It’s as simple as that. We did not beat Boston, we did not beat the Cavs, we didn’t beat the Knicks; those are the top three teams, and we’ve played horribly against them,” Antetokounmpo said.
Giannis scored a double-double with 24 points, 13 rebounds, and two assists. However, his efforts weren’t enough to secure a victory for the Bucks. With the loss, Milwaukee’s record stands at 20-17 for the season, placing them sixth in the Eastern Conference.
