The Milwaukee Bucks will look to level their NBA Eastern Conference semi-final series against the Brooklyn Nets when the two sides meet for Game 4 at Fiserv Forum on Sunday. The Bucks cut the series deficit to one game by winning the last fixture 86-83 on Thursday.
Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets, who are up 2-1 in the series, will look to snatch the Bucks' homecourt advantage before they head back to New York for Game 5. It will put them in the driver's seat again, as historically, teams that have a 3-1 lead in a seven-game series more often than not advance to the next round.
Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton led the way for the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 3. Both recorded double-doubles, with the former tallying 33 points and 14 rebounds, with the latter contributing a game-high 35 points and 15 rebounds on the night.
Both teams struggled to shoot the ball well from the floor, with the Bucks converting 38% of their attempts, while the Nets making only 36% of their attempts.
Brooklyn Nets Injury Update
The Brooklyn Nets will continue to be without star player James Harden, who suffered a hamstring injury in the first minute of Game 1 of this series. Long-term absentee Spencer Dinwiddie (ACL) is another player who has been sidelined. He is out for the season.
Meanwhile, Jeff Green (foot), who has been out since Game 2 of the first-round series against the Boston Celtics, has been upgraded to questionable and may return to the court.
Milwaukee Bucks Injury Update
The Milwaukee Bucks have ruled out Sam Merrill (ankle), Jordan Nwora (thigh) and Donte DiVincenzo (foot) for the match. Merrill and Nwora are listed as day-to-day, while DiVincenzo is sidelined for the rest of the season.
