ROBINSON PICKING UP WHERE HE LEFT OFF
Glenn Robinson III has played in all but one game for the Dubs season, missing just the Dubs’ Dec. 23 win against the Minnesota Timberwolves due to an ankle injury. On the season, Robinson III has averaged new career highs in points (12.1), as well as rebounds (4.7) and steals (0.9). But since his one game absence, he has been scoring above even his current season averages: from the Christmas Day win over the Houston Rockets and on, Robinson III has averaged 14.1 points per game on 42 percent shooting from three-point range while leading the team in minutes played (230).

MILWAUKEE SCOUTING REPORT
The Bucks were on a five-game winning streak prior to their loss in San Antonio on Monday night, and are 8-2 in their last 10 games. The team is among the top three in the NBA in scoring, three-point shots made and offensive rating. Leading the effort while averaging a double-double at 30 points and 12.8 rebounds per game is the reigning Most Valuable Player, Giannis Antetokounmpo. But besides the athletic ability and nightly output of the six-foot-eleven-inch forward, Milwaukee brings eight other players in their nightly rotation who average over one three-point shot made per game and shoot a respectable 36 percent from beyond the arc as a team. When not making the deep shot, the Bucks secure the ball off the boards (first in NBA in total rebounds), get to the free throw line (fifth in free throws attempted), and defend their opponents well (first in defensive rating, second in blocks). The Bucks will enter Chase Center on Wednesday night with a well-rounded team that plays at a high level on both sides of the court.
