Throughout the 2019-20 NBA season, the Milwaukee Bucks have been an absolute juggernaut, steamrolling over the competition. At least until recently.
The Bucks' hadn't lost consecutive games through their first 62 games this season, but they're currently mired in a three-game skid and have lost four of their last five games, including their last two without MVP frontrunner Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is dealing with a sprained knee.
So maybe — just maybe — the Celtics are catching the NBA's top team at the right time heading into a Thursday night clash in Milwaukee.

The teams have split two games so far this season, with each winning on its own home floor. That includes a 128-123 Bucks victory in January, a game where Boston allowed a season-high 76 points in the first half and trailed by as many as 27 points before rallying down the stretch.
The Celtics are dealing with their own issues, having lost four out of their last six games — though they were able to stave off a Pacers rally for a 114-111 win in Indianapolis on Tuesday night.
Here's how to watch the Celtics vs. Bucks, including NBC Sports Boston's pregame coverage, beginning at 7 p.m. ET.
