The Milwaukee Bucks plan to have Giannis Antetokounmpo on the court for Saturday's action against the LA Lakers.

The Lakers wanted the game ball for rookie Adou Thiero, who scored his first NBA points, but the officials wouldn't give it up. Giannis intervened.

This edition of the Bucks is a bit younger and more offensive-minded. Instead of old teammates Lillard, Khris Middleton, Brook Lopez or Jrue Holiday around him, Antetokounmpo is surrounded by fresh helpers such as A.J. Green, Kevin Porter Jr., and Rollins, along with new acquisition Myles Turner at center.

The Bucks have maintained a winning record through their first 12 games of the season. In the absence of Antetokounmpo, they are 1-1. An October 30 game against the Golden State Warriors ended with a 120-110 Bucks win. The other night, the Bucks dropped a game against the Hornets, losing 111-100.

Without Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Milwaukee Bucks lost to the Charlotte Hornets 111-100 on Nov. 12 at the Spectrum Center.

Los Angeles Lakers visit the Milwaukee Bucks. Giannis Antetokounmpo is expected to play, but a knee issue does have hi listed on the injury report. In the Bucks 147-134 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Friday the two-time MVP went for 25 points with 18 assists.
