The Milwaukee Bucks have recently hit their stride, winning four consecutive games and eight of their last nine. This impressive run has propelled them to fourth in the Eastern Conference standings, with a slim one-game lead over the Indiana Pacers. Critical to this success has been the health of their key players, particularly Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has returned from a calf injury and is contributing significantly.

Despite an illness that has made Antetokounmpo questionable for their next matchup against the Orlando Magic, the team has bolstered its roster at the trade deadline by acquiring Kyle Kuzma and Kevin Porter Jr., providing much-needed depth. The Bucks are optimistic about maintaining their playoff position, aiming for full health as the postseason approaches, especially given Antetokounmpo's past injury concerns during the playoffs.
