Basketball forever published a list of the best three-person combinations in the league. Their Antetokounmpo, Lillard and Middleton were the fourth-best Big Three in the league.

It’s understandable why the Boston Celtics, Dallas Mavericks and Philadelphia 76ers were ranked higher than the Bucks. You could argue that these three teams are playing better in every way than the Bucks.

However, it’s not outlandish to predict the Bucks will go with three lineups if Lillard and Middleton return to their All-Star form. Giannis will always be a problem for opposing coaches, which is why the Bucks likely need to advance in the regular season and playoffs to return to the Finals.
