I'd be surprised if the starters play at all, for the Bucks, and that looks to be the case, early. Beauchamp, Wigginton, Crowder, Leonhard and Green on the court for the Bucks.

Caitlin Clark suited up for Milwaukee. Drains a three over Morant.
Nice disruption by Wigginton, in the corner!
Bucks pulling ahead. 71-72 Bucks at the half.
Bucks down by 16 with 5:44 left in the 3rd. 95-79
Beauchamp drives, gets fouled and his shot goes in. Beauchamp to the line.
Crowder looked really good for most of the game. Liked a lot of things I saw from Beauchamp, but he needs to add strength as he had several plays where he got bumped or couldn’t finish at the hoop.
It says a bit when midway through the 3Q the game was basically tied.
I’m glad Crowder has gotten some run the past few games. Worried a lot about Middleton. Even before he got nicked this week it’s clear he’s just not close to his pre-injury form.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see Crowder get into the starting five in the early playoff games.
I think the good news is unlike last season it appears Lopez is healthy and they have more options like Ingles and Crowder if Middleton isn’t 100%. Holiday is also playing arguably his best basketball of his career.
Middleton appears to have avoided serious damage given MRI so my guess is they will bring him along slowly and I’d start Crowder and bring 22 off the bench.
They're going to start Middleton to keep the rotations on point.
Continue getting rest before the playoffs
