Milwaukee Bucks: 5 lineups to use against the Boston Celtics

5. Eric Bledsoe, Malcolm Brogdon, Khris Middleton, Jabari Parker and John Henson.

I wish Antetokounmpo could play all 48 minutes, but that’s probably unwise. Therefore, this is the only Antetokounmpo-less lineup you’ll find on this list.

In order to offset the loss of the Greek Freak, the Bucks must counter with their two other best players, Bledsoe and Middleton. If Middleton can continue to play like he did on Sunday, he alone would be enough to carry this unit.

Regardless, Bledsoe and Parker should bounce back nicely and have a better series than Game 1 (it couldn’t get much worse). Brogdon also provides a secondary playmaker and Henson is there to clean up Parker’s mess on defense.

This lineup got very little run in the regular season, as Brogdon and Parker were hardly healthy at the same time. However, it was the most used lineup in Game 1 while Antetokounmpo sat at a whopping two minutes.

That’s not nearly enough time to even warrant sharing their stats, but this grouping has the ability to hold things together against the second unit of Boston.
