Bucks on five-game winning streak
Preview: The Bucks play rare back-to-back home games, starting with Friday's victory over Indiana and concluding with Saturday's finish to the two-game season series with the Wolves. The Bucks lost the first one, 116-99 at Target Center in late December. That ended the Wolves' four-game losing streak against the Bucks. … The 31-33 Bucks have won five consecutive games and has started All-Star Giannis Antetokounmpo, Malcolm Brogdon, Khris Middleton, Thon Maker and Tony Snell in four of the five games.
Players to watch: Selected 15th overall in the 2013 draft right after Utah took Shabazz Muhammad for the Wolves, Antetokounmpo has scored 30 or more points 15 times this season, including a 32-point, 13-rebound, 7-assist, 4-steal, 2-block night in Wednesday's 104-93 victory over New York. That's the most by a Buck in a single season since Michael Redd did it 15 times in the 2006-07 season. The Wolves also got Gorgui Dieng in that draft after swapping the ninth pick for the 14th and 21st pick with Utah. … Entering Friday's game, Middleton started five games since he returned Feb. 8 from a season-opening injury and the Bucks are 5-0 in those games.
Injuries: Wolves G Zach LaVine (knee surgery) is out for the season. Former Wolves F Michael Beasley (hyperextended knee) and F Jabari Parker (knee surgery) are both out for the Bucks.
