The Milwaukee Bucks are currently at 32-24 and in the midst of a four-game winning streak. Nobody is complacent with the No. 5 seed that they are in as the Bucks look to lock in for this final stretch of the season.

While still ramping up from a calf injury that sidelined him for the final six games before the All-Star break, Giannis Antetokounmpo spoke out very honestly about head coach Doc Rivers and the minutes restriction he has imposed on the two-time MVP.

As Milwaukee will be without Bobby Portis for 25 games due to a suspension, the Bucks may be looking towards the buyout market to secure a former lottery pick to help with the final 26 contests before the playoffs. Every game counts in a top-heavy Eastern Conference.
