His career-high against the Clippers in terms of both points and rebounds came on February 2, 2023. The Greek Freak had a marvelous 54 points and 19 rebounds outing. His heroics helped the Bucks pinch out a narrow 106-105 win.

Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Los Angeles Clippers have had fierce clashes
Giannis Antetokounmpo and his Milwaukee Bucks have had some of their most difficult battles against the Los Angeles Clippers in the regular season. The Greek Freak has come in the top 10 out of 19 times. It means that the Clippers have a chance of equalizing the W-L tally. This is the 11th time he will face them away from home, as the Bucks have a record of 4-6 in the Clippers’ home arena. This will be the first of two battles between the Clippers and Antetokounmpo, this season, but the latter has been listed as ‘Questionable’.
Considering Giannis had played all his career with the Bucks in the Eastern Conference, the odds of drawing a playoff matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers are minuscule. While Antetokounmpo has a ring under his name, the Clippers have yet to make an NBA finals appearance in their franchise history. If we take into account the two teams’ roster make-up, there is some chance of an NBA Finals this year. However, the odds still don’t field a Bucks-Clippers Finals.
