Bucks and Antitokunbo at playoff rehearsal before…obliteration

With three games left to wrap up the NBA regular season, the Bucks are gearing up for a big game in the early hours of Friday (4/8). They’ll be welcoming the hot, fit, tough and very determined Boston Celtics to the Fiserv Forum in their final rehearsal ahead of the playoffs, as they then play away to the Detroit Pistons and Cleveland Cavaliers, teams who don’t find it difficult can she. .

Giannis Antitokoumbo’s team is 49-30 and needs a win to take the lead at least in the first round of the playoffs as the Toronto Raptors are 46-33. If the Canadians make it 3/3 and Milwaukee have 0/3 then they will catch them 49-33 and be superior having won all three games with the champions this year.

The Bucks are unlikely to have Grayson Allen in today’s game (hip hurts), while Giannis Antetokunbo is considered likely (75% play – 25% don’t play). He’ll follow his routine two hours before Yambol and that’s where it will be decided if he plays or if he rests, with the logic that normally we’ll see him against Smart, Brown, Tatum, Horford to then take the break or his Breaks against the Pistons and Cavaliers, most likely in Detroit, to play a few minutes in Cleveland and get into the playoffs at a good pace.

We remind you that the second team in the rankings will face the seventh in the first round resulting from the play-in tournament in which the Cavaliers, the Nets, the Hawks and the Hornets will take part. The 7-8 loser meets the 9-10 winner and whoever “lives” will fall to the Miami Heat, who will likely be first unless they go 0-2 and the Celtics 2-2 to catching them at 52-30 and winning a draw (2-1 in favor of Boston).
