The Milwaukee Bucks are set to try to end their seven-game losing streak on Saturday, November 29, as they face off against the Brooklyn Nets at the Fiserv Forum. The Bucks are looking to rebound after a disappointing elimination from NBA Cup play the previous night, where they lost to the New York Knicks, 118-109.
Superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo made his return to the lineup after being sidelined for four games due to an adductor strain injury. In his comeback, he delivered an impressive performance with 30 points, 15 rebounds, and eight assists. This remarkable achievement marked his 157th career game with at least 30 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists, placing him alongside former Bucks legends Oscar Robertson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most such games in NBA history.
As the Bucks prepare for their matchup against the Nets, Antetokounmpo’s status is currently listed as questionable, alongside point guard Kevin Porter Jr., who has been absent since the season opener due to an ankle injury followed by meniscus surgery.
For fans eager to catch the game, it will be broadcast on FanDuel Sports Wisconsin.

Additionally, subscribers can catch the Bucks’ broadcast on SiriusXM channel 212.
According to BetMGM, the Bucks enter the contest favored by 10.5 points with an over/under set at 218.5, presenting an intriguing matchup for fans and bettors alike.
As the Bucks look to turn their fortunes around, there remains optimism among the fan base that the return of Antetokounmpo could spark a much-needed revival for the team.
