Some people doubted the Milwaukee Bucks at the start of the season despite adding Damian Lillard. There were concerns about their depth, and all of them were warranted after their slow start to the season.

Coach Adrian Griffin has done a wonderful job, maximizing his roster size and some injuries along the way. Jae Crowder has been out for about a month now, and Khris Middleton was playing limited minutes in the first month of the campaign.

Here's the Bucks starting lineup and depth chart against the New York Knicks for Dec. 23:

Milwaukee Bucks on the road for the rest of 2023

The Bucks had a really good schedule following their failed 2023 NBA In-Season Tournament campaign. They were eliminated by the Indiana Pacers in the semifinals before their six-game homestand at the Fiserv Forum on Dec. 11.

Milwaukee had some tough games at home during that six-game span but prevailed all six times. They improved to 21-7 for the season and are just 0.5 games behind leaders Boston Celtics atop the Eastern Conference.

After the six straight home games, the Bucks will end 2023 on the road. They face the New York Knicks on Saturday and Christmas Day before making the short trip to battle the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday. They end the year against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday and play their next game at home on New Year's Day.
