Bucks Reveal Giannis Antetokounmpo's Injury Status vs. Nets /

In this story:

The Milwaukee Bucks and Brooklyn Nets are set to face off in a Eastern Conference showdown on Friday night. Milwaukee has reclaimed the top spot in the East, but Brooklyn is the hottest team in basketball. Winners of their last seven games, Brooklyn has ascended up the standings, and currently sits just 2.5 games back from the first-seed.

This is the last game Brooklyn will play until Christmas, so if they are able to grab a win, they could enter the holiday just 1.5 games back of first, which seemed impossible earlier in the season. Brooklyn has done well to put their offseason and early-season drama behind them, and have been playing some great basketball.

The Nets will be going up against a Milwaukee team that should have Giannis Antetokounmpo leading the way, as the superstar forward is currently listed as probable for Friday's game. The Bucks are calling it "left knee soreness" for Antetokounmpo, but with a probable status, he should be good to go.

The Bucks will play on Christmas against the Boston Celtics, but this is the last game Brooklyn will play until after the holiday. The top of the East is starting to take shape, but the 1-4 seeds could continue shuffling throughout the remainder of the year. Grabbing any advantage in the head to head battles with other top teams is always crucial.
