If the Bucks can't get back to MKE this game is likely postponed as well.

Khris was scheduled to play against New Orleans and sit this one but now he likely plays. Green was not suppose to play in New Orleans and is likely out for awhile.

Last home game before a 4 game road trip. We avoid a B2B but will likely gain one when the N..O game is rescheduled.

I sure hope they play. My wife's friend has tickets for us all through her employer and they're really good seats. Babysitter all lined up and everything!

MD feel free to delete this comment because it is about Butler but this thought I had is also specific to this game so I thought it might be pertinent.

Jimmy's return has been relatively unremarkable in terms of what he's done on the court, both good and bad, even though by all indications the relationship between the two sides is as acrimonious as its been. With this being a nationally televised game, the thought has crossed my mind that Jimmy goes into sabotage mode to try to embarrass the organization.

Not sure it means anything, but the Heat did leave for Milwaukee.

Wait!

Babysitter all lined up? Are they trading for Butler?

Can you imagine if the two teams swapped players during the game?

I don't think this game's happening. Bucks aren't gonna make it back in time.

We'll see if anyone plays, but Jimmy Butler is definitely not playing

Flying same day isn't ideal, players have their game day routines but a 2 hour charter flight isn't too bad.

Hopefully this means no b2b when they reschedule the NO game.

It would be great if Jimmy came to the game in a Suns or Bucks jersey.

Regular season jimmy also isn't anything to get excited about.

"i can't wait for heat/bucks, I'll travel thru the cold to witness regular season Jimmy because that's some heat culture dontcha ya know."

Said no one.
