Giannis Antetokounmpo (right ankle), Ersan Ilyasova (illness) and Pau Gasol (left ankle) were all out on Tuesday. However, the fourth European player of the Milwaukee Bucks, Nikola Mirotic, was there to help out in the home win versus the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Montenegrin-Spanish forward only needed 24 minutes to sink 23 points with 8/14 from the field including 3/7 beyond the arc. His scoring touch might be crucial down the stretch of the NBA 2018-19 Regular Season if the Bucks’ injury woes persist.
