The Milwaukee Bucks are currently locked in on their NBA Finals matchup with the Phoenix Suns. The Bucks were able to tie the series back up at two games apiece, with Game 5 set for Saturday back in Phoenix.

Bobby Portis and Bryn Forbes both have player options for the season and could decline those to seek bigger paydays.
