The Bucks will take on the Western Conference leaders, the Oklahoma City Thunder, who are on a five-game winning streak. <\/p><p>The comeback story of the Milwaukee Bucks has been fascinating as they started the season 2-8 but have gone 12-3 in the next 15.

He fell short of one assist to drop a triple-double in the semifinal against the Hawks following a 37-point performance in the quarterfinals. The eight-time NBA All-Star is ready to battle with MVP rivals, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who is averaging 30.05 point per game this season. <\/p><p><strong>Also Read:<\/strong> <\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/dick-van-arsdale-three-time-all-star-and-phoenix-suns-legend-dies-at-81\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'><strong>Dick Van Arsdale, three-time All-Star and Phoenix Suns legend, dies at 81<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/giannis-antetokounmpo-remains-focused-on-team-accolades-instead-of-500k-nba-cup-cash-prize\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'><strong>&ldquo;I try not to think about the money&rdquo; &ndash; Giannis Antetokounmpo stays focused on team goals over $500K NBA Cup prize<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/nba-daily-recap-december-16\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'><strong>NBA Daily Recap, December 16 &ndash; Nuggets&rsquo; thrilling win, James Harden show &amp; more<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Giannis Antetokounmpo listed as probable for NBA Cup final<\/h2><p>Giannis Antetokounmpo was questionable in the last two games for the Bucks due to &ldquo;right patella tendinopathy&rdquo; but still, he made a start in both games.
