The Milwaukee Bucks wrap up their exhibition schedule tonight at Fiserv Forum when they host the Oklahoma City Thunder at 7 p.m. The Bucks are 3-0 in the preseason while the Thunder are 2-2.
Is Giannis playing?
Yes, per head coach Doc Rivers. The Bucks star wanted to play the two final preseason games and he suited up against Chicago on Oct. 12, playing about 22 minutes. Rivers said his intent is to play Antetokounmpo about that many tonight. The Bucks do not open the regular season until Oct. 22 vs. Washington, so it’s reasonable to think he will play with the starters again for a bit vs. the Thunder.
Bucks starters
- Guards: Gary Trent Jr., Kevin Porter Jr. AJ Green
- Forward: Giannis Antetokounmpo
- Center: Bobby Portis Jr.
There are no official injury reports in the preseason, but there were two notable absences for the game vs. the Thunder:
- Myles Turner, out (right calf soreness)
- Gary Harris, out (right hamstring strain)
What time is the Brewers first pitch?
Game 2 of the National League Championship Series will get going at about 7 p.m. CT and will be broadcast on TBS.
What channel is the Bucks game on?
The game will be simulcast, nationally on Peacock (with Noah Eagle, Jamal Crawford and Zora Stephenson on the call) and locally on FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin (with Lisa Byington and Wesley Matthews on the call).
Bucks make roster moves
The team is not required to trim its camp roster down to 15 until 4 p.m. CT on Oct. 20, but the team did waive Cormac Ryan and two-way guard Jamaree Bouyea on Monday. Alex Antetokounmpo will sign a two-way deal to replace Bouyea, but that move has not been officially announced by the team. So, as of pregame on Oct. 14, the Bucks have 19 players available for the final preseason tilt.
Bucks vs. Thunder odds, over/under
The Bucks are 5.5-point favorites over the Thunder, and the over/under is set at 232.5 points per BetMGM.
