The Milwaukee Bucks and Washington Wizards are set to face off Monday at 7:00 p.m. ET at Capital One Arena, with several key players listed on their respective injury reports.
Milwaukee enters the game with a 9-12 record and a one-game winning streak, fresh off a 116-99 victory over the Brooklyn Nets. The Bucks will likely be without Alex Antetokounmpo, Pete Nance, Taurean Prince, and Mark Sears, all out due to G League assignments or injuries. Giannis Antetokounmpo is probable with a left adductor strain, raising questions about his availability.
The Wizards, struggling at 2-16, are missing Sharife Cooper, Tre Johnson, and Corey Kispert due to calf, hip flexor, and thumb injuries, respectively. Will Riley and Alex Sarr are listed as questionable, leaving Washington’s rotation uncertain for the matchup.
Giannis has been averaging 30.9 points, 10.9 rebounds, and 6.6 assists per game this season, and his presence—or absence—will heavily influence Milwaukee’s offensive and defensive execution. The Bucks also rely on strong production from Myles Turner, Ryan Rollins, and Josh Hart, who each contribute across scoring and playmaking.
Washington has struggled offensively without their full roster, with Alex Sarr leading the team at 19.1 points per game and Kyshawn George adding 15.8 points while logging 31.3 minutes per contest. CJ McCollum continues to handle primary playmaking duties, averaging 17.8 points and 3.3 assists despite recent team struggles.
Monday’s matchup also marks the second meeting of the season between the two teams, following a dominant 133-94 Bucks win on November 1.
