Both the Milwaukee Bucks and Chicago Bulls enter into a matchup on Tuesday severely shorthanded. The Bucks and the Bulls have had equally lackluster seasons so far and while the Bucks have lost their last five straight games and have gone just 1-8 in their last nine, the Bulls have gone just 1-4 in their last five games.
With the trade deadline rapidly approaching, the Bulls have reshaped their lineup and could be putting a different looking squad on the court.
Milwaukee is still reeling from the loss of star Giannis Antetokounmpo due to injury and their struggling to find their footing, but a game against a team in a similar place in the record books could be an opportunity for the Bucks to get back on track.
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (34) scores against the Chicago Bulls during the second half at United Center. David Banks-Imagn ImagesBobby Portis Jr. (hip) is QUESTIONABLE to play Tuesday due to a hip contusion.
Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) remains OUT with a calf strain he suffered against the Denver Nuggets on Jan. 23 and he's due to be out at least 4-6 weeks with the injury . That game against Denver may have been the last time that Antetokounmpo played in a Bucks uniform as trade talks surrounding him continue to ramp up.
Chicago Bulls forward Isaac Okoro (35) defends Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (34) during the second half at United Center. David Banks-Imagn ImagesGary Harris (hamstring) is OUT for Tuesday's game. Harris has been out since Jan. 27 with a left hamstring strain.
Kevin Porter Jr. (oblique) remains OUT with a right oblique strain. Porter Jr. has been out since Jan. 19.
Taurean Prince (neck) remains while he recovers from a surgery to repair a herniated disc in his neck. Prince underwent the surgery in early November and hasn't appeared in a game since. The Bucks haven't given any expected timeline for Prince's return or if they expect to see him on the court again at all for the rest of the season.
Chicago Bulls forward Jalen Smith (25) defends Milwaukee Bucks guard Kevin Porter Jr. (7) during the second half at United Center. David Banks-Imagn ImagesAlex Antetokounmpo (two-way) is OUT for Tuesday and playing with the Wisconsin Herd in the G-League.
Jalen Smith (calf) is QUESTIONABLE to play Tuesday due to right calf injury management. Smith has already missed back-to-back games due to the injury.
Julian Phillips (wrist) is QUESTIONABLE to play because of a right wrist sprain.
Chicago Bulls forward Jalen Smith (25) defends Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis (9) during the first half at United Center. David Banks-Imagn ImagesJosh Giddey (hamstring) is OUT for Tuesday and will miss his fourth-straight game in what has been an injury-laden season for the Bulls' star.
Tre Jones (hamstring) is OUT for the seventh-straight game with a left hamstring strain.
Zach Collins (toe) remains OUT with a toe sprain on his left foot. Collins has been out since late December and he isn't expected to return until at least after the All-Star break.
Milwaukee Bucks guard Ryan Rollins (13) defends Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (3) during the first half at United Center. David Banks-Imagn ImagesNoa Essengue (shoulder) is OUT for the season after undergoing shoulder surgery in early December.
Up until Tuesday, Nikola Vucevic, Kevin Huerter and Dario Saric would have all been included on the Bull's roster, but a whirlwind series of trades ahead of the deadline has changed all that.
Milwaukee Bucks center Myles Turner (3) defends Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (9) during the first half at United Center. David Banks-Imagn ImagesHuerter and Saric were traded to the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday as part of a three-team trade between the Bulls, Pistons and Minnesota Timberwolves that sent Mike Conley and Jaden Ivey to Chicago.
Vucevic was traded to the Boston Celtics for Anfernee Simmons in a one-to-one swap on Tuesday as well.
With all of these trades in consideration, the three former Bulls will naturally not be playing against the Bucks on Tuesday.
