Bucks look to be 6.5 point favorites. But, Dame, Prince and of course Portis are out, and Giannis is a game time decision.

Bucks down 9 early. Bucks on a back-to-back without Dame, Prince, and (obviously) Portis.
Giannis and Kuzma both pick up 2 fouls early.
Bucks down 32-19 after one. This would be an ugly loss, but they played extended minutes with a Connaughton, Jackson Jr., Sims, Trent, and Porter Jr.
Connaughton has been terrible.
Bucks now down 14. Missing a lot of guys and the Wizards are playing on 8 days rest at home and the Bucks are playing a back-to-back on the road. Stupid scheduling by the NBA.
Giannis now with 3 fouls and his leg just gave out a little bit.
Bucks get within 6 at the half. Very lucky.
Yep, Bucks down 50-56 at the half. They need to get their turds in a herd in the 2nd half.
Bucks get a lead, but Giannis just picked up his 4th foul on a charge. Doc challenges.
Bucks may be wearing them down in the 3rd, currently lead 69-62
Bucks get up by 7, but Giannis picks up his 5th foul on an absolutely BS call from Scott Foster (Bucks already used up their challenge).
Bucks up 84-75 as the 3rd is about to end. Get the WIN Bucks!
Bucks up 9 going to the 4th. If Giannis didn't have 5 fouls, it would be a pretty high probability.
Bucks currently 92-78 with about 9 minutes left.
Now 99-86, 6:12 left. Take the win home Bucks!
Lead back to 10 with a little over 5:30 left.
Bucks up 8 and Giannis just fouled out with 3:36 left.
A couple of those bullshit Scott Foster calls on Giannis caught up to them.
No Giannis, Dame, Portis, or Prince. Can they hold on?
Down to 2. Not looking good. This will be a tough loss given they were up by 15 in the 4th.
Bucks hold on to win by 3. Middleton misses a tying 3 badly at the buzzer.
Bucks win despite not hitting a FG for the last 7 minutes of the game.
Even though the Wizards suck, it's still a good win considering they were missing Dame, Prince, Portis, and Giannis (for the last 4 minutes).
Way to hang tough Bucks for a sweet win against an inferior team, even though we were missing several players.
They just need to survive and advance - or at least maintain their playoff position. 4 seed or better would be ideal to get a home slot in R1. I doubt they can catch the top 3.
