The Milwaukee Bucks have left themselves no margin for error. After losing three straight by a combined 79 points, even making the Play-In will be an uphill fight. The good news is that Giannis Antetokounmpo is back, retaking the floor after the longest injury absence of his career. The bad news is that he has no time to get his feet set in a lower-stakes environment.
The Bucks' upcoming schedule features a number of matchups against direct Play-In foes, so if they have a shot for the postseason, they'll find out soon. That's how Zach Lowe sees it, as he detailed on Tuesday's episode of The Zach Lowe Show.
