With Giannis Antetokounmpo listed as doubtful to play in Thursday’s game five of the Eastern Conference Finals for the Milwaukee Bucks and Atlanta’s Trae Young’s status unclear, Thursday’s game will be intriguing in its own way. Milwaukee had a chance to put optimal pressure on the Hawks and take a 3-1 lead, but were thumped by the Hawks 110-88 on Tuesday. Even though Antetokounmpo’s status is unclear for the playoffs, many Bucks fans breathed a sigh of relief when an MRI confirmed there was no structural damage in his hyperextended left knee after a scary fall in game four. 

It is uncertain who will step up for the Bucks on Thursday, but Milwaukee was led in scoring by Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday in game four. With the series tied at 2-2, game five is at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, and will start at 7:30 PM.
