Bucks coming off a tough loss last night to the Magic. Everyone available.
Not expecting a win anyway, but it would be a better measuring stick if it wasn't a back to back.
Telecast last night was saying how bad Lillard has been this year shooting 3s in clutch time (4 for 26).
Looking at end of game situations this year, Dame has had some duds.

Fiserv is jumping, tonight!
DAME TIME!!!
Nice passing by the Bucks leads to 2 for Kuzma.
4 on 1 Bucks advantage, in transition, and they don't score.
Good game so far, but the Bucks trail by 4. If they'd have played this hard last night, it would have been an easy win.
Bucks trying to make a game of it as the 1st begins to wind down. Cavs 31-27 1 minute left in the 1st.
Bucks bench unit can barely function against the Cavs. Multiple turnovers in 3 minutes and now trail by 7.
Bucks bench a disaster.
Rout is on. Bucks down 11.
The Cavs are good and the Bucks supporting guys that look good against mediocre teams (Green, Lopez, Porter Jr., Trent Jr., Sims) look terrible against a good one tonight.
Those 5 guys are 1 for 10 with 2 turnovers.
Bucks down 15. Giannis is by far the best player on the floor and Dame is very similar to Mitchell. Kuzma's been fine, but the Bucks 4th through 9th guys have just been pathetic and the Cavs are just so much better overall
Bucks trail by 10 at the half.
Giannis has been great. Dame and Kuzma have been fine. They are 16 for 27 from the floor.
The rest of the team has shot 4 for 18 from the floor.
If they do get far enough to play the Cavs in a series, Giannis will have to average 40 for them to have a chance.
Lopez is a real liability against the Cavs, just like he is against the Celtics and Knicks.
Bucks have gotten it down to 4 a couple of time in the 3rd, but Giannis will have to sit soon and the Cavs dominated in the first half when he sat.
Bucks down by 7 going to the 4th.
Dame and Giannis are 18 for 33 for 46 points.
The rest of the team is 11 for 32.
Gary Trent is 1 for 9. Pathetic tonight.
This is just about over. Down 11.
I would say Gary Trent Jr. has played like shit, but that's not fair to shit.
Bucks bench is 3 for 15 tonight. Sims has played fine, but Sam Merrill has outplayed AJ Green and Gary Trent Jr.
Down 14 now as Prince turns it over on an inbound off a timeout. Prince wouldn't even play if he was on the Cavs and he's a starter for the Bucks.
Giannis misses two FTs. His body language indicates he's given up.

And then airballs from 12 feet.
Get him out. It's over.
Cavs 13-0 run pushes it to 18.
The Bucks have no chance in a series against the Cavs. The Bucks probably have the best 2 players between the two teams, but the Cavs might have the next 8. I'm not sure anyone other than Giannis or Dame would even play for the Cavs.
Why are Dame and Giannis in the game down 18 with 4 minutes left on a back to back?
Giannis is the only Bucks to shoot over 50% for the game.
Blow out loss.
