The Milwaukee Bucks look to get back into the win column with a home game against the Portland Trail Blazers.
The Bucks were outscored 55-40 in the second half of its 110-102 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the way with 25 points and 14 rebounds, but it was his 4-15 shooting night from the free throw line that grabbed headlines when he got into a verbal altercation with Wells Fargo Arena staff members. Bobby Portis, Brook Lopez, and Jrue Holiday also cracked double figures for the Bucks in the loss.
The Trail Blazers have lost three of their last four games and will offer Wisconsin basketball fans a local face to cheer for. The SB Nation site Blazer's Edge is reporting that Trail Blazers' new two-way signing Ibou Badji has been removed from the inactive list and will be available after playing for the Wisconsin Herd, the Bucks’ G-League affiliate. The Blazers' star player Damian Lilliard will not be available.
Tip is set for 7 p.m.
