Fresh of the All-Star break, the Milwaukee Bucks continued their resurgence, running away with it against the New Orleans Pelicans. It was the Bucks’ triumvirate at guard that led the way, with Ryan Rollins, Kevin Porter Jr., and Cam Thomas each going for 25-plus points in a game that offered strong performances across the board. […]
The Milwaukee Bucks put on a show coming out of the break, beating the New Orleans Pelicans 139-118. Ryan Rollins led the Bucks on both ends, dropping 27 points (on a career-high seven threes), six assists, four steals, and two blocks. Special mention to Kevin Porter Jr. and Cam Thomas, who dropped a combined 52 […]

Tonight, the Bucks play the Pelicans in The Big Easy. As you might be aware, New Orleans has the right to swap their first-round pick in this June’s draft with Milwaukee’s, thanks to 2020’s Jrue Holiday trade. They won’t actually receive that pick because the most favorable of the Bucks’ and Pelicans’ picks will go […]
With the NBA trade deadline long gone and All-Star weekend now over with, it’s officially the tail end of the season and the Milwaukee Bucks ramp it back up tonight against the New Orleans Pelicans at Smoothie King Center—God bless America! Last time these teams played, the Bucks were in the quandary of needing to […]
In a three-team trade with the Suns and the Bulls at the NBA trade deadline, the Milwaukee Bucks acquired forward Ousmane Dieng, jettisoning Amir Coffey and Cole Anthony. It was the third time in 24 hours before the deadline that Dieng had been traded. He was sent to Charlotte for Mason Plumlee, before being shipped […]
Late in the 2024–25 campaign, the Bucks featured a three-guard look that was quite effective, even in the playoffs: Kevin Porter Jr., AJ Green, Gary Trent Jr., Giannis, and Bobby Portis. It was so intriguing that many fans thought the answer this year would be to replace Portis with newcomer Myles Turner and run with […]
In last summer’s NBA Draft, Cooper Flagg went first to Dallas, Rutgers’ Dylan Harper second to San Antonio, Baylor’s V.J. Edgecombe third to Philly and Flagg’s Duke teammate Kon Knueppel fourth to Charlotte. In retrospect, San Antonio might have made a mistake. He would have been a great fit with Victor Wembanyama and more importantly, […]
In the Bucks’ third preseason game, not only did Giannis make his preseason debut, but so did the starting lineup of Kevin Porter Jr., AJ Green, Gary Trent Jr., and Myles Turner around the two-time MVP. Playing these three guards together is curious, and a bit unconventional: Trent and Green have (or at least had, […]
The Bucks’ final two games before the break were a coming-out party for their only deadline trade acquisition, Ousmane Dieng. A combined 13/22 from the floor—with 8/14 from deep—resulting in 36 points over 59 minutes, plus 14 boards, 4 blocks, 6 assists, and 0 turnovers. A career-best three-point performance in the second Orlando game. Certainly […]
Not four years ago, the Bucks had an elite on-court product, massively spurred by stability and synergy from ownership on down. Now, despite the recent good form, the team is overall in a much worse spot, and while some of the reasons for that have been beyond the Bucks’ control, many have been within their […]
In this week’s Tuesday Tracker and our SB Nation Reacts survey, results are in from fan polling about the NBA trade deadline. Here are the highlights: Thanks again for voting! Check back on Tuesday for another slate of questions. Check out FanDuel, the official sportsbook of SB Nation.
You love NBA free agency and trades. I love NBA free agency and trades. We all do. Sickos like me love it so much that we delve into legal documents to figure out exactly what is permitted and what isn’t. But all of us want all the information about the team-building options available to our […]
The Milwaukee Bucks took down the reigning champion Oklahoma City Thunder 110-93 in what might have been their best team performance of the year. Granted, this was nowhere near OKC’s best team, missing a bunch of guys, including their two initiators in SGA and Jalen Williams, but the Thunder are tough to beat with whoever […]
This may just be the feel-good moment to kick off All-Star Weekend: On Thursday night as OKC faced the Milwaukee Bucks, Nikola Topic made his NBA debut. Topic, the 12th pick in the 2024 NBA draft, missed all of last season because of a knee injury. Before the 2025-2026 season started, he was diagnosed with […]
The Milwaukee Bucks just keep on surprising, beating the (admittedly bruised) Oklahoma City Thunder 110-93. Ousmane Dieng led the Bucks with 19 points, six assists, 11 rebounds, and four blocks! That said, Milwaukee had seven guys reach double digits, which is amazing. Isaiah Joe was probably the Thunder’s best player, dropping 17 points. Also, a […]
The Milwaukee Bucks got their revenge on the Orlando Magic last night in a performance that offers a lot of reasons for optimism moving forward. For at least one night, Jon Horst’s deadline deals made him look like a genius, with Cam Thomas leading the charge and Ousmane Dieng having a career night, among a […]
Bucks head coach Doc Rivers has been recongised as a finalist for the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame today for the Class of 2026 election. Aditionally, Bucks legend Marques Johnson has been named a finalist for the Veterans Committee. From Bucks PR: A first-time finalist, Rivers is the winningest active NBA head coach. With a […]
The Milwaukee Bucks got sweet, sweet revenge on the Orlando Magic, 116-108. In one of the most entertaining games all season, new acquisition Cam Thomas exploded for 34 points and Kevin Porter Jr. notched an 18-point, 10-rebound, 11-assist triple-double. Desmond Bane went off from deep with 31 points I guess, but it wasn’t enough. NBA.com […]
Six days ago, as anxiety was about as high among the fanbase as I can remember, it became clear the Bucks were not going to trade Giannis Antetokounmpo. This didn’t come as a surprise. It also didn’t come as a surprise that Milwaukee made a move, shipping out unproductive vets Cole Anthony and Amir Coffey, […]
The Milwaukee Bucks and Orlando Magic lock horns again tonight in the second game of this basketball series. It will be interesting to see how both teams adjust after playing each other two nights ago. How do the Bucks limit Anthony Black? What adjustments might the Magic make for Kevin Porter Jr.? Also, should Orlando […]

The Milwaukee Bucks put up a good fight but ultimately fell to the Orlando Magic 118-99. The game was ugly in the first half, with neither team making much from outside, but the Magic’s final 18 minutes were stellar. The Bucks have a chance to redeem themselves tomorrow night (or not, for the pro-tank crowd) […]
