The Milwaukee Bucks take on the Utah Jazz on Saturday and the team is listing star small forward Giannis Antetokounmpo as questionable and guard Malcolm Brogdon as doubtful.
The Bucks are on the second night of a back-to-back. They defeated the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday by a final score of 131-120.
Antetokounmpo played 32 minutes versus the Lakers and finished 16 points, 15 rebounds and six assists. Brogdon played 28 minutes and posted 21 points, two rebounds and four assists.
Milwaukee clinched a playoff spot in its win over the Lakers, becoming the first team in the league to do so.

Since it's the second night of a back-to-back, the Bucks might as well play it safe and sit both Giannis and Brogdon versus Utah.
Antetokounmpo missed Milwaukee's game against the Chicago Bulls earlier in the week due to soreness in his knee. The three-time All-Star is averaging 26.8 points, 12.6 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game this season while shooting 57.9 percent from the field and 71.7 percent from the free-throw line.
The Greek Freak has 43 double-doubles and five triple-doubles on the season. He's the main reason why the Bucks have the best record in the NBA at 48-14.
Brogdon, meanwhile, has been a consistent scorer and defender for Milwaukee all season.
The 2017 Rookie of the Year is putting up 16.1 points per game and shooting 50.9 percent from the floor, 43.2 percent from the 3-point line and 93.7 percent from the foul line.
