Milwaukee Bucks injury report: Is Giannis playing tonight vs. Celtics?

The Milwaukee Bucks host the Boston Celtics at Fiserv Forum just over 24 hours after one of their most disappointing losses of the season, when they scored just eight fourth-quarter points and gave up a 39-point swing in the second half in a blowout loss at Chicago on March 1.

Boston comes into town as one of the league’s hottest teams having won eight of its last 10 and after beating Philadelphia on March 1. The Celtics (40-20) are currently the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference and are looking to stay in front of New York.

The Bucks (26-33), meanwhile, had been winning games but have dropped two in a row and three of their last five. In those three losses, all to teams currently in the Eastern Conference playoff picture, the team failed to score 100 points.

Is Giannis playing?

Yes.

Giannis Antetokounmpo began the day as questionable to play, and was upgraded to available after his pregame workout. It was the first time he had been listed as anything other than “out” since reinjuring his calf on Jan. 23. The game will mark the return of the former two-time MVP, who has missed the last 15 games with a strain of his soleus muscle in his right calf.

What is the Bucks record without Giannis?

11-17.

Milwaukee is 15-15 when Antetokounmpo plays any number of minutes. They are 1-2 when he has exited games early due to injury.

Is Jayson Tatum playing?

No.

Boston’s all-NBA wing is continuing to work his way back from a torn Achilles tendon suffered during the playoffs in May. Tatum has been doing five-on-five work lately.

Boston Celtics injury report

Jayson Tatum, out (Achilles)
Jaylen Brown, out (illness)
Neemias Queta, out (rest)

Taurean Prince, out (neck surgery)

Giannis Antetokounmpo, questionable (right calf strain)

Bucks probable starters

Guard: AJ Green, Ryan Rollins, Kevin Porter Jr.
Forward: Giannis Antetokounmpo
Center: Myles Turner

What time is the Bucks game?

The game is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. CT.

What channel is the Bucks game on?

The game will be broadcast locally on FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin with Lisa Byington, Wesley Matthews and Melanie Ricks on the call. The game was originally supposed to be a national broadcast on Peacock but was moved to NBA TV.

NBA playoff standings

The Bucks are currently out of the postseason picture entirely. Here are the play-in standings in the Eastern Conference heading into game play on March 2:

No. 7: Orlando (31-28): The Bucks and Magic have split the season series 1-1. The Bucks host the Magic on March 8.

No. 8: Miami (32-29): The Bucks and Magic have split the season series 1-1. Milwaukee travels to Miami on March 12.

No. 9: Atlanta (31-31): The Bucks lead the season series 1-0. The Bucks host the Hawks on March 4 and then travel to Atlanta on March 14.

No. 10: Charlotte (30-31): The Bucks own the tiebreaker over the Hornets having won the season series 3-1.

No. 11: Milwaukee (26-33): The Bucks have had better luck against the play-in teams to date, as they are just 5-13 against the top six seeds in the conference.

“We say we didn’t play ourselves out of it,” Bucks head coach Doc Rivers said. “Obviously I’m competitive. I think we should’ve had an even better record. But, not having your best player for that long and staying above .500 is huge for us. It’s funny, when he went out (Jan. 23) the talk around me was ‘being .500’ and I was like we can be better than that. We were. I’ll take it. But, never satisfied.”

The four teams in the play-in will face one another to determine the final two playoff teams (which will face the top two seeds). Teams that hold the Nos. 7 and 8 seeds only have to win one game to advance, teams that hold the Nos. 8 and 9 seeds must win twice to advance

Bucks vs. Celtics odds

Boston is a 7.5-point favorite over Milwaukee with the over/under set at 216.5 points, per BetMGM.

Brewers opener arrives amid I-94 construction delays, traffic concerns

MILWAUKEE – With Milwaukee Brewers baseball returning to American Family Field, fans and officials are preparing for heavy traffic tied to ongoing freeway construction near the stadium.

What we know:

American Family Field sits in the center of the I-94 East-West freeway project, where lane closures and traffic shifts have been in place since November 2025 as crews work to address deteriorating road conditions, traffic demand, high crash rates, and aging bridge design.

With thousands of fans expected for Thursday’s home opener, March 26, both state transportation officials and team leaders say delays will likely increase.

Officials say traffic patterns around the stadium may take time to adjust as construction and the baseball season overlap.

Local perspective:

“You always get stuck in traffic around this place,” said Max Larsson, a Brewers fan. “Go earlier. There’s always traffic with the construction going on and with it being Opening Day, it’s going to be even worse.”

“It’s going to be a mess. There’s no doubt about that,” said Mike Fleming, a Brewers fan. “It’s going to be a lot worse when the games are on.”

What they’re saying:

“Reopening some of that access around American Family Field. If you are going to the games next week or beyond – just add some extra time,” said Jason Roselle of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. “There is a little bit of traffic shifting out there so it is going to take a little bit longer to get in and out of the stadium.”

Brewers President of Business Operations Rick Schlesinger said the team is taking additional steps to help keep traffic moving, including hiring three sheriff’s deputy crews and a tow truck to quickly clear disabled vehicles from the freeway.

“We’ve got three additional sheriff’s deputy crews that we hired who are going to help with traffic,” he said.

The team says it will be a learning process throughout the season as fans and drivers adjust to changing traffic patterns.

What you can do:

The Brewers also have a dedicated page outlining traffic routes and detours. More can be found at WisDOT’s website as well.
