Nets Injuries:

OUT: Bojan Bogdanovic (foot), De'Anthony Melton (knee), Trendon Watford (hamstring), Ziaire Williams (knee), Dariq Whitehead (G League), Ben Simmons (back), Maxwell Lewis (left knee), Tosan Evbuomwan (Two-Way)

QUESTIONABLE: Noah Clowney (hip)

Bucks Injuries:

OUT: AJ Johnson (G League), Chris Livingston (G League), Liam Robbins (Two-Way), Tyler Smith (G League)

QUESTIONABLE: AJ Green (lumbar)

PROBABLE: Giannis Antetokounmpo (patella), Khris Middleton (ankle)

While the Nets did triumph over the Bucks exactly a week ago, Milwaukee was without Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard in the 111-105 victory. Tonight, there's a chance the duo suits up alongside Khris Middleton to bring the Bucks' lineup to full strength, posing a difficult challenge for the visitors.

Brooklyn will re-gain Cam Thomas but lose Ben Simmons in the process, thrusting the former into the backcourt alongside D'Angelo Russell for the first time since Russell's re-acquisition. Their chemistry will be key for a Nets squad looking to even the season series against Milwaukee, especially if Antetokounmpo and Middleton are active come tip-off.

The Nets' depth will be tested yet again as they continue to miss the contributions of Ziaire Williams and Trendon Watford. With the departure of Dorian Finney-Smith, Jalen Wilson and Tyrese Martin will step into larger roles at the forward spot due to a lack of healthy wings.

The season series finale is slated for 8 p.m. EST.
