Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks (40-25) will take on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder (20-44) during the NBA Tuesday slate.
It has been an impressive stretch for the reigning NBA champion Bucks since dealing with a start to the 2021-22 season riddled with injuries. Led by Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee will look to capitalize against a weak interior Thunder defense. There is a real lack of personnel to slow down Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday in addition to Antetokounmpo when surveying the Thunder’s available players.
In speaking of injuries, the Thunder are certainly no stranger to that experience as they are currently playing without Josh Giddey and Luguentz Dort. The starting lineup around Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is getting increasingly thin, literally and figuratively.
