For the sixth consecutive season, one or more Milwaukee Bucks will rank among the NBA's 25 highest-paid players. At No. 12, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard each will be paid $48.8 million. Golden State's Steph Curry is No. 1. #NBA #Bucks

Asked to rank the NBA's best power forwards, Patrick Beverly left out Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo. Wait. What?! He's not a four, Beverly said. Giannis is a three, like LeBron James, Victor Wembanyama, and Kevin Durant. And Giannis agrees.

In his 25 seasons, Doc Rivers has been coach of the year and won an NBA title. But underachieving seasons in Los Angeles and Philadelphia, plus last year's struggles with the Milwaukee Bucks, have left CBS Sports unimpressed. #NBA #fearthedeer @Bucks

Injuries limited Khris Middleton's availability the past two seasons. Dame Lillard has displaced him as the No. 2 scoring option. But Middleton's efficiency as a shooter and scorer is critical to the Milwaukee Bucks' title aspirations. #Bucks #FearTheDeer

After back-to-back rough seasons, it's time for the Milwaukee Bucks to explore the real possibility of moving off longtime guard Pat Connaughton in favor for some of its younger pieces. #Bucks #FearTheDeer

Offseason pickup Delon Wright, who has made an NBA career out of being a defensive nuisance, will be counted on to help the Milwaukee Bucks recover their pride on defense. On a recent podcast, a longtime NBA observer praised the Wright signing. #Bucks

Ever since winning the 2021 NBA title, the Milwaukee Bucks have struggled to find a player that can effectively be used in small-ball lineups with Giannis Antetokounmpo at center. That could change after having signed Taurean Prince during the offseason.

Last season, Giannis Antetokounmpo played his most minutes since the 2017-18 season before a calf injury caused him to miss the playoffs. To be healthy when April rolls around, should the Milwaukee Bucks consider giving him more rest? #NBA #FearTheDeer

In the NFL season opener, the champion Chiefs beat the Ravens by a big toe — roughly the distance that negated a game-tying touchdown. Inspired by that close call, the Bucks happily summoned the memory of Kevin Durant's 3-point basket that wasn't. #Bucks
