This was the fifth straight game that the Bucks played without Giannis. In his absence, the Bucks have gone 2-3, and have lost games against the Heat and the Cavs. These Eastern Conference losses would go on to hurt the Bucks later as the season progresses.

As the team heads out to Detroit, fans wonder whether the Bucks will get Giannis back tonight.
Giannis Antetokounmpo has been listed as probable.

With Giannis and Khris probable to return to the lineup soon, it should help the Bucks curb some of their recent issues. With their All-Star trio back together and kicking, they should be good for the later half of the season, and to prepare and gel for the upcoming offseason.
