Milwaukee Bucks News and Analysis Since 2007
The Milwaukee Bucks surprisingly dropped this game to the Sacramento Kings—who were 1-4 coming in—in a controversial fashion by a final score of 135-133. Giannis finished with just 26 points, the first time this season he’s been held under 30, while Kuzma added 22. Zach LaVine led all scorers with 31 points, while DeMar DeRozan […]
The Milwaukee Bucks face off against the Sacramento Kings this afternoon in a matinee game. Milwaukee beat Sacramento in both matchups last season and has had the wood over them for the past few years. Where We’re At Things are going swimmingly in the Cream City, it’s fair to say, sitting at 4-1 with signature […]
Of course, as the good vibes flow for the Bucks, fans have been dealt some bad news: Kevin Porter Jr. sustained a right knee meniscus injury during his on-court return-to-play training yesterday, according to the team. The injury will require a minor orthopaedic procedure that will sideline him for approximately four weeks. Further updates will […]
Last week, I was a little (pleasantly) surprised to see how many Bucks fans were forecasting a high playoff seed for this squad after only one game: 71% of our respondents felt they’d secure home court advantage in their first-round series. That optimism appears to be founded, if Milwaukee’s 4-1 start is any indication, including […]
It was a spooky night at Fiserv Forum, with Giannis Antetokounmpo being declared out 45 minutes before tip-off for the Milwaukee Bucks against the Golden State Warriors.

The Milwaukee Bucks picked up their fourth win of the season, taking out an early-season Western Conference contender in the Golden State Warriors 120-110, even without Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The Milwaukee Bucks take on the Golden State Warriors tonight in a marquee matchup. Both teams have lost only one game this season and have looked the goods thus far, making this game one to watch.

The Bucks are off to a 2-1 start on the year, and the East’s first POTW of 2025–26 is Giannis Antetokounmpo. He’s fresh off a three-game stretch where he led the NBA in RPG (16.0) and finished second in PPG (36.0). He was also 14th in the league in APG with 7.0 and shot 68.3% […]
Milwaukee Bucks basketball continues tonight as the good guys take on the New York Knicks to open a three-game home stand at Fiserv Forum.

The undermanned Milwaukee Bucks lost 118-113 to the Cleveland Cavaliers in a game that had a playoff feel to it. Milwaukee nearly came back and won this one despite some rough stretches, leaving room for encouragement alongside the sting of defeat. This was Cleveland’s sixth straight victory over the Bucks, a streak that dates back […]
The Milwaukee Bucks lost 118-113 in an ultra-competitive contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight. Giannis Antetokounmpo, who dropped 40 points in 33 minutes, led Milwaukee in a wild third-quarter comeback, but Donovan Mitchell (24 points), Evan Mobley (23) and Sam Merrill (17) silenced their efforts with collected fourth-quarter play. Both teams are now 2-1 on […]
The 2-0 Milwaukee Bucks are squaring up against the 1-1 Cleveland Cavaliers on the road tonight. The Cavs emerged victorious in all four meetings between these teams last season, and they’re projected to be just as dangerous this year. This game will be a good litmus test to see where the Bucks stack up in […]
In a game that was far from perfect for the Bucks, they managed to pull out a 122-116 victory over the Toronto Raptors. The team had 18 turnovers (most coming in the first half), and didn’t shoot great from three (14/40), but still found a way to gut it out. Giannis was monstrous, and as […]
The Milwaukee Bucks downed the Toronto Raptors, 122-116, to improve to 2-0 on the young season. Giannis was an absolute killer, with 31 points, 20 rebounds (!), and seven assists. Additionally, Cole Anthony and Gary Trent Jr. combined for 43 points. The Raptors were led by Brandon Ingram, who dropped 29 points. NBA.com Box […]
Earlier in the week, we had our first SB Nation Reacts survey of the year. As we’ll do throughout the year, we’ll focus these on larger picture narratives around the team and leave more time-sensitive questions to our Tuesday Tracker, which you’ll see for the first time in a few days. First off, we asked […]
The Milwaukee Bucks secured an opening-night win over the Washington Wizards, 133-120, but now they face their first road test of the season, traveling north of the border to take on the Toronto Raptors. Milwaukee took the season series against Toronto last year, 3-0. The last time these two teams met was January 17, when […]
The good injury luck the Bucks had going into the regular season didn’t last long at all. Just 10 minutes into the season opener against the Washington Wizards, the new starting point guard, Kevin Porter Jr., suffered a left ankle sprain. It happened after he accidentally stepped on Bobby Portis’s foot while defending Cam Whitemore […]
It was an emotional day at Fiserv Forum last night. For the first time since the trade last season, Khris Middleton returned to Milwaukee to take on the Bucks on opening night. Unfortunately for Middleton, his former running mate Giannis Antetokounmpo put on a world-class performance, leading the Bucks to a 133-120 win over the […]
The Milwaukee Bucks were able to take care of business and deny Khris Middleton a “revenge game” (I use revenge loosely), as they dispatched the Washington Wizards 133-120. Giannis had a spectacular performance with 37 points, 14 rebounds, and five assists, while Middleton led the Wizards with 23 points on 9/14 shooting. NBA.com Box Score […]
