The Milwaukee Bucks look sharp. Last night they left Cade Cunningham & Co’s home arena, Little Caesars, with a 128-107 victory! With their next back-to-back game against the Atlanta Hawks tonight, the green side needs to play in the same spirit to cover up their embarrassing 6-game losing streak earlier this season.

Their last performance had made Doc Rivers say, “I loved how we approached the game today. I thought that was our best defense maybe of the year, overall. And then I thought our ball movement was unbelievable. We just kept finding open guys. Played unselfish basketball.” The team finally looks ready to keep up with all the expectations surrounding them. But, before we predict anything, let’s see if key players like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton look good with their health.

Is Giannis Antetokounmpo playing tonight vs the Hawks? Who is injured?

Well, firstly let’s address the Giannis situation. The hoopster was first ruled out against the Heat on November 26th because of swelling in his left knee. However, he was also on the injury reports hours before the game against the Wizards, but cleared it. And so far, for the Hawks game, he’s been listed as ‘probable’. That could very well mean the green light.

With that, let’s look into other injuries. We must wait for Khris Middleton‘s season debut as he remains “out” because of his right ankle injury. He sustained the injury against the Pacers last season when he landed on the foot of Pascal Siakam.

Their last injury is MarJon Beauchamp, who is “out” because of his hamstring injury and neck spasms. He last played against the Heat for 6 minutes and scored only 3 points. With that, let’s explore what the Hawks’ injury report says.

The first hoopster in the Hawks injury report is their veteran guard, Trae Young, whose “day-to-day”. He sustained right Achilles tendinitis. However, while the Hawks aim to continue their winning streak, their superstar being on the IR brings in the tension.

Two more Hawks hoopsters are injured and “out.” Center, Cody Zeller, is listed as out for personal reasons. The specifics remain undisclosed. He’s yet to make his season debut as he is recovering from a partially torn rotator cuff that was diagnosed earlier.

Seth Lundy continues to be ruled out because of a left ankle sprain that has sidelined him since the start of the 2024-25 campaign. Lundy had made a brief appearance during the preseason opener against the Pacers, playing just three minutes and scoring three points. With the injury reports wrapped up, let’s look at the depth charts for both teams heading into this matchup.
