Bucks' Playoff Hopes Dim as Giannis Returns
About this episode
The Milwaukee Bucks playoff hopes dim as Giannis Antetokounmpos return fails to spark a turnaround. Despite a brief winning streak earlier, recent losses to the Knicks and Bulls have derailed their push. Hovering around .500 all season, the Bucks now face an uphill battle to secure a play-in spot, with both the Hawks and Hornets surging. The latest loss to Atlanta feels like a significant blow, and with just twenty-one games left, many doubt the Bucks ability to rally, giving them a mere two out of ten chance of making the play-in tournament.

To sneak into the play-in tournament, Milwaukee must leapfrog the Hawks or Hornets, but both squads are surging with Atlanta on a five-game win streak. And Charlotte riding six straight victories. That latest defeat to Atlanta feels like a big setback, and with time running short, many doubt the Bucks can rally, bumping their chances to Aslim. 2 out of 10 at best.
