The Milwaukee Bucks lose their fourth straight game. Giannis Antetokounmpo has yet to return, and the Wisconsin team falls to the Hawks in Atlanta (99-122) after a poor second half.
The Milwaukee Bucks listed Giannis Antetokounmpo as questionable for the game, but he ultimately did not play. French forward Ousmane Dieng remains sidelined with illness, while Alex Antetokounmpo remains on a G-League assignment.
In a close game until halftime (122-99), the home team stepped up its game in the third quarter thanks to Jalen Johnson (23 points) and a sensational CJ McCollum (30 p.).French forward Zaccharie Risacher scored 7 in the victory, coming off the bench.
In Milwaukee, Ryan Rollins (22 p.) once again led a team that now has a record of 27 wins and 39 losses, placing them 11th in the Eastern Conference and moving further away from the Play-In. Thanasis Antetokounmpo played 2 minutes and did not score a single point.
