The Atlanta Hawks and Milwaukee Bucks meet Wednesday night at Fiserv Forum, with both teams monitoring limited injury reports ahead of the 9:30 ET tipoff.
Atlanta lists RayJ Dennis as doubtful due to G League two-way status, while rookie forward Asa Newell is also doubtful as he remains on G League assignment. Neither player has been part of the regular rotation, combining for minimal NBA minutes this season.
Dennis has appeared in one game for the Hawks, logging five minutes, while Newell has played 40 games and averaged 5.0 points in 11.1 minutes per contest.
Milwaukee will be without Alex Antetokounmpo and Cormac Ryan, both on two-way deals in the G League. Veteran forward Taurean Prince is out following neck surgery, removing a wing option who averaged 6.1 points in eight appearances earlier this season.
The Bucks’ core rotation remains intact, led by Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is averaging 27.7 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 5.5 assists while shooting 63.6% from the field. Myles Turner anchors the interior with 12.5 points and 1.6 blocks per game, providing rim protection against an Atlanta offense that scored 135 and 126 points in its last two outings.
The Hawks enter at 31-31, sitting 10th in the Eastern Conference and riding a four-game winning streak. Jalen Johnson has driven that stretch, averaging 22.7 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 7.9 assists on 49.3% shooting this season.
Nickeil Alexander-Walker adds 19.8 points per game and connects on 37.2% from three-point range, spacing the floor alongside Dyson Daniels, who contributes 6.2 assists and 6.5 rebounds per contest.
Milwaukee, 26-34 and 11th in the conference, has dropped three straight games, including losses to Boston and Chicago.
The previous meeting on January 19 ended in a 112-110 Bucks victory in Atlanta. With both teams positioned near the play-in line, availability and execution could determine the outcome in a tightly contested Eastern Conference race.
