How will the Milwaukee Bucks order their playoff rotation?

The Milwaukee Bucks will begin their anticipated 2020 NBA playoff journey on Tuesday, but what will the rotations initially look like?

After earning the best record in the league to cap off a dominant 2019-20 regular season, the Milwaukee Bucks will now begin their quest for a glorified title inside the Walt Disney World bubble in Orlando. The Bucks will face the eight-seeded Orlando Magic in the first round of the NBA Playoffs with the series taking off on Tuesday, August 18th.

The Magic don’t appear to be a real threat to knock out Milwaukee, so we could see Bucks’ head coach Mike Budenholzer continue to test out different lineups together and experiment with the first couple of rotations off the bench during the series similar to how he did during the eight seeding games.

Last year, coach Bud took advantage of his deep bench against the eighth-seeded Detroit Pistons in the first round of the playoffs, and even decided to start Sterling Brown on occasion during the series. One year later, the Milwaukee Bucks have the No. 1 overall seed again and are now in a similar situation.

However, the Bucks shouldn’t be taking it easy this time around, especially after some disappointing performances so far in the bubble. Those struggles mostly had to do with the lack of effort, which affected their elite defensive identity and support from the so-called ‘Bench Mob.’

It’s important to note that the Milwaukee Bucks are now fully healthy, as stated by coach Budenholzer in his postgame press conference following the loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday. With that being said, here’s how the Bucks should initially utilize their rotations off the bench assuming they continue to go with Eric Bledsoe, Wesley Matthews, Khris Middleton, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Brook Lopez in the starting lineup.
