It is safe to say that the superstar duo of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard is running riots. They were expected to perform at this level after the Bucks acquired Lillard in the blockbuster trade. Lillard was primarily included in the Bucks squad because others could not support Giannis in his gameplay. He was getting frustrated and even hinted at an exit. As a matter of fact, the Bucks management did all they could, and the rest is history.

Giannis has been making quite the news from the start of this season. From scoring a mind-boggling 54 points to getting ejected after a dunk celebration, he has witnessed it all. In the last match against the championship contender Dallas Mavericks squad, he managed to present a powerful performance. He scored 40 crucial points, with 15 rebounds, and 7 assists in the Bucks’ win. They won by a score of 132-125. But is the Greek Freak playing tonight, as the Bucks take on the Washington Wizards?

Is Giannis Antetokounmpo playing?

There’s no official updates regarding Giannis’ injury from the Bucks’ end. So, it is safe to assume that he is fit and will be playing against the Wizards tonight. In an X (formerly Twitter) post by the Bucks beat reporter, Eric Nehm, the injury update is available.

As noted, MarJon Beauchamp, Jae Crowder, and Chris Livingston are out due to injuries. Beauchamp is out due to a right ankle sprain, Jae Crowder due to left abductor surgery, and Livingston due to a left ankle sprain. These should not bother them, as the Bucks are looking rock solid in every department.

The “Freak Time” to win his fifth straight game?

Damian Lillard signed for the Bucks and since then, the Bucks are smooth sailing. They are third seeders in the Eastern Conference tables. As predicted by experts and the fans, they are hot favorites this season and giving a tough time for their opponents. The fans even nicknamed the duo “Freak Time”.

After defeating Luka Doncic’s Mavericks, the Bucks registered their fourth straight win this season. They are looking to make it fifth, in the next match. Doncic and Irving tried their best yesterday, by scoring 35 and 39 points, respectively. Giannis and Lillard well countered it, with the latter’s impressive 27 points, with 12 assists, and 3 rebounds.

Although the Bucks is a fan-favorite, the championship has just commenced and almost the major part of it is left. Things can go either way, and they need to hold their nerves till the end. It is evidently clear that they are eyeing for it.
