Bucks and Wizards Tangle In Nightcap
The Milwaukee Bucks take on the Washington Wizards in an NBA seeding game in Orlando on Tuesday night.

The Bucks (55-16) check into Tuesday's second game of a back-to-back set having already clinched the top seed in the Eastern Conference but having lost four of their last five seeding games as well. Milwaukee's most recent stumble, which occurred Monday against the Toronto Raptors by a 114-106 score, came without Giannis Antetokounmpo (mouth) available. Chris Boucher paced the Raptors with 25 points off the bench, adding 11 rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks. Matt Thomas supplied 22 points, four boards and one assist. Norman Powell registered 21 points, eight boards, one assist, three blocks and two steals. Pascal Siakam furnished 14 points, seven rebounds, two assists and two steals. Hollis-Jefferson contributed 11 points, five rebounds, five assists and one steal. Terence Davis managed 10 points, three rebounds and one steal.

The Bucks will likely list Antetokounmpo (mouth) as questionable at best for Tuesday's contest.

The Wizards (24-46) have suffered the indignity of not winning a single game in the Orlando restart bubble, dropping all six of their decisions to get eliminated from postseason contention. Washington's latest stumble came against the Oklahoma City Thunder, which dropped them by a 121-103 score Sunday afternoon. Jerome Robinson led the Wizards with 19 points, adding six assists, two rebounds and two steals. Isaac Bonga supplied 14 points, eight rebounds and two assists. Troy Brown, Jr. and Moritz Wagner posted matching 12-point tallies, with Brown adding eight rebounds, four assists and two steals. Rui Hachimura delivered 11 points, eight rebounds and one assist. Ish Smith registered 10 points, four assists, three rebounds, one steal and one block.

The Wizards will list Shabazz Napier (ankle) as questionable for Tuesdays' game, while Garrison Mathews (personal) remains away from Orlando.

Tuesday's game marks the third and final meeting between the teams this season. The Bucks hold a 2-0 series lead, having notched 151-131 and 137-134 victories, the latter in overtime, on Jan. 28 and Feb. 24, respectively.
