What you need to know about the Bucks

It was all tied up 64-64 at the half for the Bucks and the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday, but Milwaukee stepped up in the second half for a 124-115 win. It was another big night for Milwaukee’s power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, who dropped a double-double on 34 points and 18 rebounds.

The two-time NBA MVP is battling a knee injury but is listed as probable for Thursday’s action. He’s averaging 31.8 points, 12.2 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game this season. However, the Bucks will be without Serge Ibaka (personal) and Bobby Portis (knee) so their frontcourt depth will be tested.

What you need to know about the Clippers

Meanwhile, even if it wasn’t a dominant performance, Los Angeles beat the Chicago Bulls 108-103 on Tuesday. Small forward Kawhi Leonard continued his habit of dropping crazy stat lines, picking up 33 points and five assists along with five steals. Norman Powell also contributed 27 points off the bench while Paul George and Ivica Zubac both had double-doubles.

The Clippers have now won six of their last seven games, and Leonard has played in all six victories, averaging 30.5 points, 6.2 rebounds and 4.8 assists while shooting 59.8% from the floor and 48.6% from the 3-point line. They are now up to fourth in the crowded Western Conference standings but they have little margin for error with only 2.5 games between them and the 11th-place Trail Blazers. John Wall (abdominal) will be out on Thursday while Marcus Morris Sr. (rib) is questionable.
