Giannis Antetokounmpo spoke about how their win on the road against the Dallas Mavericks is a preparation for their road trips since that is their struggle this season.

They followed it up with a win against the Atlanta Hawks and another one at home against Dallas once more. However, they dropped the next two games at home.

The two games were not on the road but many thought it could have been an opportunity for them to build something for they embark on a tough road trip the rest of the month.

The next two weeks will be hellish for the Bucks who are still looking for consistency.

They will first visit the Indiana Pacers with whom they are neck in neck with for the fourth spot in the Eastern Conference. They will then go back to the Fiserv Forum to host the Los Angeles Lakers, the Pacers again, and Western Conference’s no. 1 team Oklahoma City Thunder.

They will be away from home for more than a week after that. Their schedule has them on the road against the Golden State Warriors, a repeat against the Lakers at Crypto.com Arena, the Sacramento Kings, Kevin Durant-led Phoenix Suns, and lastly, against the Denver Nuggets who they beat already last month.

They will return home to host the New York Knicks and another road game against the Atlanta Hawks.

Milwaukee Bucks’ 2 major concerns on the road trip

The last two games was regretful for the Bucks had the home advantage.

They will miss that for a while and job will be twice as hard for them, especially with guys being injury prone.

Doc Rivers said they will use the road trip to build chemistry within the team and make new and old players familiarized with each other.

Some players might not play though in some games as Rivers suggested that health will be a major concern for them.

“I’m not looking at the month as a whole,” Rivers said. “Obviously, we want health as much as we can.

“We just got to keep building with the new guys to get them acclimated. And we got to be consistent in the way we play. Every time we play right, it’s hard to beat us. And any time we don’t, anybody can beat us. And we go back and forth too much.”
