The Milwaukee Bucks appear to be playing their best basketball, having won eight of their previous 10 games.
But despite the impressive stretch, is Sunday night the optimal time to be hosting the team with the NBA’s best record?
The Cleveland Cavaliers (53-10) visit Fiserv Forum for the final time in the regular season with the Bucks playing back-to-back games for the second time this week. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard both played 35 minutes in Saturday’s 111-109 loss to Orlando Saturday.
