Bobby Portis is back from his 25-game suspension tonight.

Time to put Bobby Portis and Kyle Kuzma into your fantasy lineups kiddos!
Julius Randle is coming to town!

Go Wolves! If Giannis play will be a tough one. I do take a day leave to follow this closely .

Bucks have quite a bit less riding on this game than we do, but they will probably play motivated. Let's show up and focus.

As soon as randle checked back in, the bucks made a run

There is no way I put Naz in as regular starter. He is so bad on defense.

Good start 1st qtr except for that 8 straight by Bucks.

Good start! Did a great job responding strong the Milwaukee’s little run.

Honestly, Giannis might go down as the most underrated player of this basketball era. The greatness of Nikola Jokić overshadows him a bit, but he has been a top three player for over half a decade.

He is definitely top 5 - Jokic, Giannis, SGA, Luka, Embiid (when not hurt) or KD.

Seems like it comes down to we need to win the non Giannis minutes.

Randle can only throw kick out passes. I hate those half ass lobs and transition passes from him.

Up 11 at halftime. Could be worse.

Absolutely ! good defensive effort so far, offense can be better. Love the Jaden effort, less the Julius one ...

Not a fan of Randle's body language..

Advanced net numbers are pronounced that we play better with Naz instead of randle... some could debate that Naz comes in when a teams second unit comes in... but, the difference is quite drastic.

There is an aura of negativity around Julius that is just not related to team/winning bb. Would love for him to prove me wrong in the postseason, but don't see it.

If Naz is indeed back, could be a big development

Two "+1" to that. The Randle vibe just not good and feel lazy. That lob to Gobert was horrible.
