PORTLAND, OR -- The Milwaukee Bucks are now, effectively, playing the role of spoiler as the 2026-27 season winds down. They have not officially been eliminated from the Eastern Conference play-in tournament, but are essentially out of it at 29-42, nine wins behind the Charlotte Hornets with 11 games to play.
Milwaukee is in Portland on March 25, and look to throw a wrench in the Trail Blazers' own play-in plans at the Moda Center. Portland (36-37) are locked into the play-in, but do have a chance to earn a home game with victories down the stretch.
No.
The Bucks ruled the star out for the fifth straight game after he hyperextended his knee and suffered a bone bruise on March 15. Antetokounmpo has made it known he wants to play, and on March 24 the NBPA issued a statement declaring that the league should enforce its own policies about star players suiting up under the player participation policy.
The Bucks have yet to comment on the NBPA statement.
12-23 heading into the game on March 25.
The team is 17-19 when he plays at all, and 2-2 when he has exited with injury.
Portland is a 12.5-point favorite over Milwaukee, with the over/under set at 226.5 points per BetMGM.
