Those games are as follows: - On the road at Washington (34-44)
- At home versus Chicago (38-40)
- At home versus Memphis (49-29), and
- On the road at Toronto (39-39).
Washington's eliminated, so spoilers is all they can play for. Chi only needs a win or Orlando loss to clinch a play-in spot, so depending on how Tuesday plays out, they might not have a lot to play for other than maybe hosting a play-in game. Memphis may still be playing for a 1-seed by the time they play the Bucks. Toronto clinched a play-in spot, may be just playing for home-court advantage in the play-in when playing the Bucks. i honestly dont know why the Hawks, who have the exact same record as Toronto, havent also clinched a playin berth. an Orlando loss would also clinch playin berths for everyone above the 10 seed who havent already clinched. if the bucks beat the Bulls that would drop them to 38-41 and basically guarantee they will be the last team in. no 10 seed has made it out of the 9-10 playin, so far, in fact those games havent been all that close. i favor adding a if necessary game 83 if teams are tied for a playin spot or the 6th seed, similar to how baseball had tiebreaker games prior to the recent playoff expansion.

he should be the mvp - 30 plus ppg on the #1 team in the league- but i dont think he will be. its going to be jokic or embiid, unless they both stink up the joint in the last 4 and giannis drops like 50 a night. This is not directed at you, Nick, but this thinking is counterintuitive. It has been for the last three years.

Bucks up 75-62 at half over Washington.
Edit:final was 140-128.
So much for defense....or is every team scoring so much more this season?

thanks to the 76ers knocking off boston tonight. the bucks simply need to win 1 of their last 3 games to clinch the 1 seed. they wont know who their first round opponent will be until after the playin tournament.

Giannis posted another triple-double last night. I looked at the summary video at bucks.com, and of his ten assists last night, six were for three-point shots. I know the Bucks shoot a lot of three-point shots, but man...

Well, the Bucks will almost certainly be down in this series 1-0. Without Giannis, how will they get back into this?

bucks set a team scoring record for a half in a playoff game with 81. tied the record for most 3s in a playoff game with 25. Cleveland hit 25 against Atlanta in game 3 of the east semis in 2016.
