Bucks vs. Washington Wizards preview, kickoff time, TV schedule and injury report

The Milwaukee Bucks have dug themselves out of a hole and climbed back to .500. They will burn off the Thanksgiving meals to hopefully continue their winning ways against Washington Wizards.

Where we are

Hey, there’s the Milwaukee Bucks we know and love. They win games and defend, and Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard have moments of brilliance, as do contributions from the bench. The Bucks have won five straight games and seven of their last ten. The past week has seen strong performances against teams that have been thorn in the side like the Miami Heat and Indiana Pacers.

The wizards have been typical wizards. They are still struggling with a 2-15 record and things don’t seem to be getting any better with Washington losing 13 straight games. If there is one positive, Jordan Poole is not a complete disaster. The Milwaukee native is shooting 43% from three, which is a career high for him. The Wizards must continue their rebuild and hope for the best by landing the first pick in next year’s draft and acquiring Cooper Flagg.

Damage report

While Khris Middleton has participated in five-on-five practice, he will not play tomorrow. Giannis Antetokounmpo and MarJon Beauchamp are listed as probable. Tyler Smith, AJ Johnson, Liam Robbins and Chris Livingston will all be out on G-League duty. For Washington, Kyle Kuzma, Tristan Vukcevic and Saddiq Bey are all out.

Player to watch

Alex Sarr has not been impressive this season. The second overall pick in the 2024 draft is averaging 10.8 PPG and 6.3 RPG, but is shooting a poor 38.1% from the field. It’s hard for Sarr to do anything about this wreck, but he needs to find a way to assert himself as the future of the franchise.
