The Milwaukee Bucks have a chance to win for the sixth time in a row when they face the Washington Wizards on Saturday night at Fiserv Forum.
Since a narrow 115-114 loss to the Charlotte Hornets a few days ago, the Milwaukee Bucks have defeated the Houston Rockets, Chicago Bulls, Indiana Pacers, Charlotte Hornets and Miami Heat. In addition to good form, Milwaukee is the favorite to beat Washington because the visitors will be missing one of their key players.
Kyle Kuzma is the latest injury casualty Washington Wizards player as he is expected to miss at least two games (starting against the Milwaukee Bucks) after suffering a rib injury in last Wednesday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers. In the 121-96 loss, the one-time NBA champion played only eight minutes and finished with two rebounds and one assist.
Kyle Kuzma is one of the team’s best scorers this season, on average 15.8 points per game on 42.0% field goal percentage. The 29-year-old is also averaging 5.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists this year.
Kyshawn George, Patrick Baldwin Jr. and Corey Kispert will get more playing time with Kyle Kuzma sidelined.
