De'Aaron Fox scored 20 points and grabbed a team-high 11 rebounds, but struggled with his efficiency, finishing 9-of-23, 39.1%, from the field. Between Giannis and Brook Lopez, the Bucks make life difficult in the mid-range and at the rim, Fox's main areas of attack.

The Bucks were resting three-time All-Star forward Khris Middleton who dealt with an ankle injury that cost him the first 21 games of the season. Milwaukee was on the first night of a back-to-back and the plan was to have Middleton back for Wednesday’s game against the Orlando Magic.
