Was looking forward to another good matchup, but Dame is listed as out with a calf strain.
Giannis and Middleton are probable.

Makes me wonder with the back to back if they are just being cautious. He looked fine the other day.
Bucks start out ice cold. Down 7-3
Interesting to see the ratings tonite. NBA vs the Irish
Now down 17-8 as Doc takes a time out.
Bucks clearly have a Vegas hangover. Just a terrible quarter so far. 8 points in 8 minutes. AJ Green has missed 3 wide open 3s. Giannis 1 or 4 from the line with 2 turnovers.
Dame missing tonight is a big issue since they don't really have a backup point guard.
Lopez lays it in to bring the Bucks within 7.
Stupid foul on Mitchell, at the buzzer, who lobbed it up from half court. Mitchell shoots 3 FTs
Middleton with just a pathetic end to the quarter. A terrible call but a 6 point wing. He airballs a 3 and then fouls Mitchell 50 feet from the basket taking a 3 with 0.4 seconds left.
Bucks down 29-20.
No question about the foul, but to say Mitchell was in the act of shooting there is utter bullshit
Strus runs over Trent, Jr as time expires. No foul.
Down 13. Bucks look like a team that won the important game earlier in the week and are half assing this one

This game is more important.
Supposedly
Now down 16. Jackson Jr. is killing them as an offensive black hole.
Jackson Jr. and Green are 0 for 6 from three

Apparently.
Middleton cannot handle the ball right now at all. He's cost them about 8-10 points on end of quarter possessions.
Bucks down 18 at the half.
Probably should have considered resting Giannis tonight as well if you weren't going to play Dame.
Giannis at 18-9-2 with 2 steals at the half. Lopez is 4 for 4 from the field.
Green and Jackson Jr. are playing like they partied too much in Vegas. Scoreless and getting lit up on defense.
The Bucks starting guards (Jackson and Green) are scoreless and the Cavs starting guards have 26.

It's actually mainly Green and Jackson Jr. that have been awful.
Bucks now down 27 after three minutes gone in the third.
Get Giannis out in this lost cause game and take care of business against the Wizards tomorrow.
AJ Green benched.
Just embarrassing 
Bucks down 103-76 going to the 4th. It was 18-20 points and then when Giannis sat they ran off 9 in a row.
Giannis has been awesome. 33-14-3 with 3 steals on 13 for 22 from the floor. Lopez has been OK.
The rest of the team has been terrible. AJ Green and AJ Jackson might as well as skipped the game. Still scoreless and their defense has been worse.
Doc waves the white flag to start the 4th. Rollins, Connaughton, and Beauchamp in. It's the right move.
Cleveland leaves their starters in to run up the score and stat pad. Bucks should remember this if they meet in the playoffs.
Bucks deep reserves make it semi respectable and only lose by 23.
It felt more like 40.
