10. George Hill

George Hill isn’t a starter, but he does get every opportunity to close games if his play warrants it. He’s been solid for Milwaukee this season, providing elite outside shooting and above-average defense at multiple positions.

9. Wes Matthews

If you look at basic stats, it may seem like Wes Matthews’ is having a down year. However, by defending the opposing team’s best wing scorer every night, he keeps his teammates fresh to carry a heavier offensive load. He’ll once again be tasked with defending Orlando’s best wing scorer while knocking down a few 3s a game.

8. Terrence Ross

Terrence Ross has certainly experienced success against the Bucks in the past, most notably as a member of the Toronto Raptors. He’s a microwave scorer who can get hot in a minute. We’ll see how he comes back after having to leave the bubble due to medical complications.

7. Aaron Gordon

Aaron Gordon missed the last four games due to a hamstring issue, but should be good to go for Tuesday’s opening tip. Or at least good enough. He’s supremely athletic, a skill that will be tested every step of the way against Antetokounmpo.

6. Nikola Vucevic

The main cog in their offense, Nikola Vucevic is looking to bounce back after a poor showing in last year’s playoffs. He can score from most areas on the court and will have to do so with Brook Lopez guarding him.
