However, Nehm also reported that Khris Middleton may not play his usual minutes. 

With that being said though, he mentioned that they may need to be appropriately cautious with Khris Middleton, who played only 12 minutes in the preseason.

"We have to be smart. Going from 12 to 35 (minutes) is probably not a smart thing to do right now." - Griffin

The game is significant for the Bucks because it'll be the debut of Damian Lillard playing with Giannis Antetokounmpo. 

After spending his first 11 seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers, Lillard was traded to Milwaukee over the offseason. 

Lillard and Antetokounmpo have the potential to be the best duo in the NBA this season. 

Last year, the Bucks were the first seed in the Eastern Conference but lost to the Miami Heat in the first round of the NBA playoffs (in five games). 

The franchise has made the NBA playoffs for seven straight seasons and won the 2021 NBA Championship over the Phoenix Suns.
