After falling to the Los Angeles Lakers, the Milwaukee Bucks are looking to bounce back on Sunday afternoon against the LA Clippers. The Bucks have released their injury report for this game, and superstar forward Giannis Antetokounmpo is being listed as probable with right knee tendinitis.

The probable listing means that Antetokounmpo is expected to play, which is great news for Milwaukee. Looking to get back on track, the Bucks have an opportunity to take advantage of a Clippers team facing a very bizarre scheduling situation.

Having played on Saturday afternoon vs. the Chicago Bulls, the Clippers will be playing this game vs. Milwaukee just 22 hours after their previous game began. With the clock moving forward an hour, the Clippers lose an additional hour on top of what was already a very strange back-to-back.

For Milwaukee, they had a day off after facing the Lakers, so they have the rest advantage in this one. While that doesn't always have a direct impact on the outcome of a game, there is no denying that the Clippers are up against some unique circumstances in this one.

All of that being said, this is still an important game for two teams who need wins in order top optimize seeding. For the Bucks, they are looking to reclaim the second seed in the East, while the Clippers are trying to chase down the first seed in the West.
