Washington Wizards: 3 must-win games in the month of February

Feb. 27 vs. Milwaukee Bucks

The Milwaukee Bucks have had the Wizards’ number this season as they hold the advantage in the season series 2-1. Washington won the first meeting, but Milwaukee was without All-Star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo. Now, they have a chance to close out the month of February strong, but they’ll need to get past the Bucks in the process.

Milwaukee is currently 27-23 in the Eastern Conference, good for seventh-best in the playoff seedings. They’re still reeling from the firing of head coach Jason Kidd, but Giannis Antetokounmpo is looking to change all of that with his play on the court.

Antetokounmpo is currently averaging 28.0 points, 13.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 2.0 blocks per game against the Washington Wizards. He had 27 points, 20 rebounds, six assists and two blocks in Milwaukee’s most recent victory over Washington on Jan. 15. The Washington Wizards will need to slow down the Greek Freak, or at least attempt to, if they hope to even the season series at 2-2.
