The Bucks are closing in on the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.
With only three games remaining in the regular season, Milwaukee owns a three-game lead over the Celtics for the top seed. Because Boston owns the tiebreaker, the Bucks are still one win away from locking up the No. 1 spot.
Playing on the second night of a back-to-back on Wednesday, April 5 against the Bulls, it will be worth monitoring the status of some of Milwaukee's star players.
Giannis Antetokounmpo has put together another MVP-caliber season, averaging 31.1 points, 11.8 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 0.8 blocks and 0.8 steals per game.
