The Milwaukee Bucks look to right the ship on their West Coast road trip Sunday afternoon at Crypto.com Arena when they take on the Los Angeles Clippers at 2 p.m. CT.
The Bucks have now dropped two straight after surrendering 125 points to the Golden State Warriors on March 6 and 123 points to the Los Angeles Lakers on March 8, after having won six straight games following the all-star break at 98.7 points per game.
Milwaukee (41-23) catches the Clippers (41-21) on the second afternoon of a back-to-back, however, as the Clippers beat the Chicago Bulls, 112-102, Saturday.
The Bucks MVP candidate is listed as probable to play with right knee tendinitis, which is a different injury than what he had been dealing with since March 3 (left Achilles tendinitis).

He has been dealing with the Achilles issue since a March 3 practice, but is coming off a triple-double performance against the Lakers. He missed his team’s comeback victory over the Clippers on March 4 at Fiserv Forum with the injury.
Antetokounmpo managed right patellar tendinitis from Feb. 4-March 1.
