Milwaukee Bucks are preparing to face the Boston Celtics in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinal series vs the Boston Celtics.
It’s already known that Khris Middleton is going to miss Games 3 and 4, while his status for the semifinal series is uncertain. The Bucks’ All-Star is recovering from a left knee MCL sprain he suffered during the first-round series vs Chicago.
On the brighter side, George Hill was upgraded to probable after missing Milwaukee’s first seven playoff games. He has been sidelined with an abdominal strain the last few weeks and he might be ready to step up to a limited role in Game 3.
The Bucks will try to bounce back from a blowout defeat in Game 2. Milwaukee shot 16.7 percent from beyond the arc, while its stars—Giannis and Holiday—combined for 18 makes in 47 attempts from the field.
The Bucks will have to make a better effort on both ends of the floor Saturday to avoid their first defeat vs the Celtics in Milwaukee this season. Antetokounmpo faced many bodies in the paint during the first two games of the series.
“I’ve seen it pretty much my whole career,” Antetokounmpo told reporters after Game 2, via NBA.com. “The only thing might be it’s kind of tougher to find your teammate because the pass has got to be late, but that’s pretty much it.”
Game 3 and 4 will take place in Milwaukee Saturday and Monday.
