Milwaukee Bucks: 5 lineups to use against the Boston Celtics

1. Bledsoe, Brogdon, Middleton, Antetokoounmpo and Henson.

This is the lineup the Bucks are going to run out the most and should have the most success with. I like the idea of Snell still starting and bringing Brogdon off the bench, although this is the grouping that should finish most games.

Brogdon gives the Bucks a better scoring option than Snell and seemed to find his groove as Game 1 went on. Although he’s a bit undersized to guard Brown, he is savvy and strong enough to do a decent job.

Henson also needs to step up his game on the boards. He played good defense on Sunday and is always going to be crap on offense, but the glass is where he can make his mark. He’ll never be able to body up an opposing player so he needs to rely on his length and good positioning to secure the defensive rebounds and start the fast break for Milwaukee. If he can’t do that, what is he good for?

Overall, the Bucks will be wise to mix things up and give the Celtics different looks throughout the game, but if they really want to succeed, they need to go with a more traditional lineup. This 5-man grouping gives them a great blend of shooting, scoring, defense and hopefully, rebounding.
