Lakers-Hornets game ran late. Bucks up15-14.
Bucks should be up more, but they've given up 5 offensive rebounds in the first 8 minutes.
Also, PJ Tucker with 18 points for the Heat tonight and still leading the league in 3 point shooting. What a terrible decision to let him go so some billionaires could save some money coming off a title win. Lopez being out hurts too, but the cheap-ass decisions to let Tucker go and let Cousins walk may cost them a real shot at a title this year.

Any word on when Lopez will return?
Bucks were up 15 but they can't separate. Giving up way too many offensive rebounds and about 4 lob dunks.
The Bucks just aren't big enough right now. They have to either get Lopez back or make a move. They are good in terms of backcourt depth, but it's Giannis and Portis at the 4 and 5. That's it.
Giannis just decided to take over. Bucks now up 9.
Still getting virtually nothing from the bench. Middleton is a 3.
Holiday, Allen, DDV, Matthews, Hill, and Connaughton are all backcourt players that can slide up and play the 3, but having any of them guarding opposing 4s an 5s is a problem.
Giannis and Portis are 4/5.
They have Thanasis, Mamu, Ojeleye, and Nwora all unplayable as backup guys that could soak out minutes at the 4/5. The fact they let Cousins go instead of Ojeleye or Hood is indefensible, unless they are going to package Ojeleye's contract with something else (they couldn't trade Cousins if they signed him).

Nothing other than them saying "they are optimistic he might be back this year"
That could mean he'll be back next month or that he'll announce his retirement in June. The Bucks injury updates are pretty much worthless.
