Milwaukee Bucks (18-28, 12th in the Eastern Conference) vs. Boston Celtics (30-18, third in the Eastern Conference) Boston; Sunday, 3:30 p.m. EST BOTTOM LINE: Milwaukee is looking to break its four-game slide with a win against Boston.
Heading into game play on Jan. 27, the Milwaukee Bucks are in 11th place in the Eastern Conference, three full games behind the Atlanta Hawks in the loss column for the final play-in spot in the NBA playoffs. That means the Bucks are in position to get a high lottery pick for the first time since they selected Jabari Parker No. 2 in 2014.
The Philadelphia 76ers won’t trade VJ Edgecombe to acquire Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has interest in playing with Tyrese Maxey.
While the Bucks and Antetokounmpo are apparently more interested in talking trade, it's still far more likely to happen in the offseason.
The Milwaukee Bucks lost their third in a row, falling 139-122 to the Philadelphia 76ers on Jan. 27 despite 31 points from Myles Turner.
Paul George scored 32 points, Joel Embiid had 18 of his 29 points in the first quarter and the Philadelphia 76ers rolled to a 139-122 victory over the short-handed Milwaukee Bucks.
