Full Injury Report: Warriors vs. Bucks

In this story:
The Milwaukee Bucks and Golden State Warriors are set to headline ESPN's slate of games on Saturday night, but superstar forward Giannis Antetokounmpo will be sidelined with hand soreness. The Bucks announced earlier this afternoon that Antetokounmpo would not play, after he was initially listed as questionable.
In addition to Antetokounmpo, the Bucks will be without Wesley Mathews. This is the extent of Milwaukee's absences, as Goran Dragic is listed as available. For the Warriors, they will be without Jonathan Kuminga, Gary Payton II, Ryan Rollins, and Andrew Wiggins. Andre Iguodala is listed as probable for the Warriors.
With Antetokounmpo out, this is an opportunity the Warriors must capitalize on. The team is 0-3 since Steph Curry returned from injury, all of which came on the road. Now back at home, where they have been dominant all season, the Warriors have an opportunity to take care of business against a Bucks team missing an MVP candidate.
The Warriors currently sit in a tie with the Dallas Mavericks for the 6th seed, and both Dallas and Golden State play on Saturday night. The standings are rearranging daily, which puts pressure on teams like the Warriors to win as many games as possible.
Golden State had found a nice groove before Steph Curry returned; however, his return from injury was met with a three-game road trip, which is something the Warriors have struggled with all season regardless of who is available.
The Bucks and Warriors will tip-off at 5:30 PM PST.
