Milwaukee Bucks injury updates and lineup prediction

The Milwaukee Bucks couldn’t replicate their impressive win against the Miami Heat and lost their second game against the same opposition. This loss took their record to 2 wins and three losses.

The Bucks’ talisman Giannis Antetokounmpo hasn’t been consistent. He has shown flashes of what he is known for and might take some time to be back at his best.

Meanwhile, Jrue Holiday is also adjusting to this new Bucks’ system. The Bucks might have the best team chemistry right now, but they are still a quality team.

Their only injury concern at the moment is that of forward Torrey Craig, who is reported to be out because of a nasal fracture. He is set to be out for at least 2-3 weeks.

Possible Lineup

Donte DiVincenzo (G)

Jrue Holiday (G)

Giannis Antetokounmpo (F)

Khris Middleton (F)

Brook Lopez (C) 

Predictions

The Milwaukee Bucks are in full strength and will look to reach the peak of their powers sooner than later. They have a great chance to gain some momentum against a team like Bulls. It will be a tremendous challenge for the Bulls, though. But given that they are have won two games in a row, they might surprise many.

Our prediction, the Bucks beat the Bulls.
