4. Someone besides Khris Middleton and Giannis Antetokounmpo scores.

Khris Middleton and Giannis Antetokounmpo have been studs so far this series and the only two players for the Bucks who have shown any type of consistency. They average 23.5 and 26.3 points per game respectively.

Unfortunately, behind them, the other players have struggled mightily.

Eric Bledsoe is having nightmares about Terry Rozier and is only averaging 12 points per game while shooting 38.9 percent from the field. That’s down from 17.8 points and 47.6 percent in the regular season.

Jabari Parker and Tony Snell have also struggled with consistency against the Celtics. Parker is averaging 10.2 points on a 44.4 percent field goal percentage-down from 12.6 points and 48.2 percent. And Snell is only averaging 3.2 points on 25 percent three-point shooting (6.9 points and 40.3 percent in the regular season).

Milwaukee needs those guys to step up in Game 7 or at least one of them. Middleton and Antetokounmpo have been brilliant, but they’ll be hard-pressed to will this team to victory without the support of one of their mates.
