On Sunday evening, the Milwaukee Bucks will host the New York Knicks in Wisconson.

For the game, the Bucks will have their best player in the starting lineup, as two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo has been upgraded to available.

He missed the team's last game, so the All-Star forward returns after just a one-game absence.

Via Eric Nehm of The Athletic: "Bucks coach Doc Rivers tells reporters that Giannis Antetokounmpo will play tonight vs. the Knicks."

Antetokounmpo has had another sensational year with averages of 30.7 points, 11.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks per contest while shooting 61.3% from the field and 27.6% from the three-point range in 71 games.

The Bucks are the second seed in the Eastern Conference with a 47-30 record in 77 games.

They have gone 4-6 over their last ten games and are also in the middle of a three-game losing streak.

Most recently, the Bucks lost to the Toronto Raptors (at home) by a score of 117-111.

Following their showdown with New York, the Bucks will play their next game on Tuesday evening when they host Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics in Wisconsin.

As for the Knicks, they are the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 45-32 record in 77 games.

They have gone 5-5 over their last ten games and most recently lost to the Chicago Bulls by a score of 108-100 (at the United Center).
