The Milwaukee Bucks were officially eliminated from playoff contention on Saturday but are back at it in another matinee as a double-digit underdog against the L.A. Clippers on Sunday. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Porter Jr. are among those out.
The Milwaukee Bucks were predictably blown out by the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday afternoon, which officially eliminated them from the playoffs for the first time since 2015-16. Giannis Antetokounmpo is out again as a three-game homestand to end March continues with a second consecutive matinee prior to Tuesday’s clash with the Dallas Mavericks as Rookie of the Year favorite Cooper Flagg arrives for his only visit to Fiserv Forum.
On Sunday, Bucks fans can greet Brook Lopez, who will be back in the building for the first time since departing via free agency. The “Greek Freak” remains out with a left knee hyperextension and bone bruise, but he’ll have plenty of company watching from the sidelines in street clothes. Guard Kevin Porter Jr. is out again, as is sixth man Bobby Portis and reserve Gary Harris. Guard Ryan Rollins, center Myles Turner and forward Kyle Kuzma are listed as questionable. Milwaukee is 3-12 in March, losing nine of 11. The Bucks have won only one of their last five home games, defeating last-place Indiana. The Clippers are on a four-game win streak and return home for a huge matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday. Those teams are separated by 1.5 games entering Sunday’s action in the race to finish No. 8 and avoid a play-in elimination game right off the bat against Golden State. Milwaukee is 16-20 at home this season and is 9-17 vs. Western Conference opponents. The Clippers are 17-21 on the road and 16-13 vs. Eastern Conference competition.The Milwaukee Bucks host the Los Angeles Clippers in the second and final matchup between the teams this season. The Clippers crushed Milwaukee 129-96 when these teams faced off earlier this week on Monday. After a competitive opening quarter, L.A. dominated before and after halftime, outscoring the Bucks 80-43. Kawhi Leonard finished with 28 points and five boards, while rookie Kobe Sanders added 19 points and led the Clips in minutes off the bench. Only Ryan Rollins scored in double-figures among starters, while Gary Trent Jr. scored 20 points and drilled six 3-pointers to keep the rout from being even uglier. Since 2019, the Bucks have gotten the better of L.A. in 10 of 14 contests. Milwaukee hasn’t dropped consecutive games against the Clippers since 2017-18, which is when it was last swept in a season series. Milwaukee holds a 74-56 lead in the all-time series, which dates back to 1970-71 when the Clippers were still the Buffalo Braves. The Bucks won the first 15 meetings between the franchises.Game odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.
