They’ll be greeted by an uncharacteristically early start for a Monday, but the Milwaukee Bucks are back home and ready to partake in the NBA’s annual Martin Luther King Day slate of games.
Five of Milwaukee’s last six games have been on the road, and starting from next Sunday the team will embark on a five-game road trip. In the interim, the Bucks have a chance to enjoy the home comforts of Fiserv Forum as the Dallas Mavericks make their sole visit of the season.
The Mavericks are 3-7 in their last 10 games, and have fallen off the pace they set early in the season, which made the playoffs seem like a realistic goal for the franchise.
