The Milwaukee Bucks have rebounded from a dismal 2-8 start to the 2024-25 season, now standing at 16-12. This turnaround is largely credited to the stellar performances of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard, along with a revamped defense under head coach Doc Rivers.

With the Bucks eyeing a potential trade involving Brook Lopez to acquire Bruce Brown Jr. from the struggling Toronto Raptors, the team is looking to strengthen its roster. The trade would also necessitate Bobby Portis stepping into a more prominent role.
