However, he may not have a significant role Saturday, as he played just four and seven minutes in his last two appearances. Is probable to return to Saturday's game against the Jazz with a sprained finger on his left hand, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports. Allen drilled a contested three that forced a Jazz timeout early in the fourth quarter. He should continue to see his regular workload as Jrue Holiday's partner in the backcourt.
Giannis is also nearing third place in steals in franchise history, needing 91 to tie Sidney Moncrief. Milwaukee will play seven games in October, 14 games in November, 16 games in December, 15 games in January, 10 games in February, 14 games in March and six games in April this regular season. Tyler Herro scored a career-high 41 points while Jimmy Butler delivered an exceptional two-way performance as Miami extended its road winning streak to three by hanging on to win at Houston. Devin Booker scored 14 points in his return to action as the Suns won for just the second time in eight December games. Jock Landale tallied 15 points and 10 rebounds, and fellow reserve Josh Okogie added 11 points and 11 rebounds.
Milwaukee Bucks milestones reached: Jrue Holiday
Giannis also tied Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for 2nd longest streak of 30 or more point games in franchise history at eight before fouling out of Friday night’s game against the Mavericks. Starting with the man who will own every record in Milwaukee Bucks history someday, Giannis Antetokounmpo passed 15,000 career points Sunday night in Houston. Giannis is now one of only 13 active players to reach 15,000 career points and he just turned 28 years old. This will be the fourth consecutive season the Bucks will play on Christmas Day and the second straight season they will host a game in Milwaukee. After matching his career high of 35 points while making a career-best nine 3-pointers on Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Herro drilled 10 3s while shooting 13 of 20 overall on Thursday. Butler finished with 20 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists, four steals and three blocks to co-author the victory, which came with the Heat missing starters Kyle Lowry and Bam Adebayo.
One look at the Memphis Grizzlies schedule will show you that there haven't been many wins against top-tier teams with healthy rosters. Is likely to play in Saturday's game against Utah, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports. Antentokounmpo wasn't initially included on the report but has been added, which generally isn't a great sign regarding availability. Still, it will be worth monitoring the Greek Freak's status as the contest approaches. If he can't play, Bobby Portis seems the likely candidate to join the starting lineup. Portis will jump into the lineup with Giannis Antetokounmpo sidelined.

The Hawks did a great job exposing another flaw in their new defensive approach, connecting on many alley-oop or dunk attempts from pick-and-roll plays. Not having an anchor dropping left the area around the rim exposed to those types of plays. In Abu Dhabi, the Bucks showed some of the growing pains they’ll have as they adopt their new defensive approach of trying to limit three-point attempts. The Bucks lost both games against the Hawks on Thursday and Saturday.
That can be a big deal for a player who lacks elite quickness and the ability to blow by his defender. He relies on his strength and a bevy of step-back and side-steps to create just enough space to fire his jumper. Unfortunately, they haven’t been falling and has contributed to poor isolation game.

Brook Lopez is having a fantastic comeback season, leading the NBA in blocks while also shooting a career high 40.3 percent on 3-point shots so far this season. Brook Lopez to has reached some career and franchise milestones through the Bucks’ first 26 games. That’s a good thing considering how awful the Bucks have been in those scenarios through the first quarter of the season. Portis appears to have worked very hard this summer to become a player.

Brook Lopez against the Mavericks in Dallas Friday night reached 1,600 career blocks, now at 1,603 he sits at #34 in the NBA all-time ranks. Lopez has blocked 533 shots as a Milwaukee Buck and earlier this season against the Philadelphia 76ers passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for sixth most in franchise history. Also for Jrue Holiday, his next steal will be his 1,300th career steal, Holiday would be the 74th player in NBA history to reach 1,300. Holiday would be just the 10th active player to reach the 1,300 steals mark, however he may be the 11th, Paul George trails Jrue by just one steal at 1,298 and plays Monday night and could pass Jrue. Holiday will have his chance Tuesday night against the Golden State Warriors. Jrue, based on his career totals could end up around the top 67 all-time in steals by the end of this season.
Answer a few quick questions to secure access to the best seat locations and most competitive pricing. The Bucks will play 13 of their first 19 games of the season at Fiserv Forum, which includes a season-long six-game homestand that begins with the home lid lifter on Oct. 22 and runs through Nov. 2.

Pat Connaughton has made pointers as a Milwaukee Buck, currently 11th in franchise history, 42 more made shots from deep and Connaughton will tie Tim Thomas in the top ten. One milestone Middleton is likely to reach sooner than later is assists, Middleton needs just 23 to get to 4th with Brian Winters in franchise history. Another would be free throws, Middleton needs 43 to pass Marques Johnson for 6th in that category. Khris Middleton needs just 11 made field goals to pass Sidney Moncrief for 9th in franchise history. Khris Middleton can also move to 6th in Bucks history in points past Bob Dandridge if he scores 472 more points this season.
The Milwaukee offense starts with Antetokounmpo, and the Grizzlies did a good job of making every shot tough for the 6-foot-11 forward. Jackson started off guarding Antetokounmpo, but after he picked up his first foul, Steven Adams became the primary defender. The Grizzlies used different defenders and showed Antetokounmpo crowds when he drove the basketball. Antetokounmpo scored 19 points and was the only Bucks starter to finish in double figures.
Planning on shutting out an NBA all-star is why Brooks is becoming one of the main pieces to a successful season. Ja Morant led the Grizzlies (19-9) by recording his third triple-double of the season. He finished with 25 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists without playing in the fourth quarter.
