The Milwaukee Bucks have a huge game on Wednesday night against the Philadelphia 76ers and they will be getting a huge boost for it. Their star Giannis Antetokounmpo will be making his return after missing the last couple of games dealing with an ankle injury.
For Bucks: Giannis back, Delly back.

The Bucks were able to win the last two games with Giannis out against the New York Knicks and the Orlando Magic, but the 76ers are much better than both of those teams.
For the Bucks, a win in tonight's game guarantees they will be the 6th seed in the Eastern Conference, and they would face either the Cleveland Cavaliers or the 76ers.
A loss tonight though would mean they could either finish with the 6th, 7th or 8th seeds. If they do lose tonight they should want to fall to the 7th seed and play a banged up Boston Celtics team.
If they fall to the 8th seed they are going to get a matchup with the Toronto Raptors, and although they beat them earlier this year it would be really tough to win a seven-game series against them.
For Giannis, he is having another special season this year. He has played in 74 games averaging 27.1 points, 10 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game. He is shooting 53.1 percent from the field, 30.9 percent from deep.
For the Bucks, they need Antetokounmpo to be healthy in the playoffs no matter who they play. Without him, they wouldn't even have a chance to beat a banged up Celtics team because the Bucks don't have enough other talent on their roster.
