Milwaukee Bucks: Ersan Ilyasova has never been better

A huge part of the Milwaukee Bucks’ success this 2019-20 season has been their depth contributors rising up in big moments, especially as they continue to battle the injury bug.

And there is no better example of that than the strong back-to-back spot starts veteran forward Ersan Ilyasova put together in place of sidelined superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo in the Bucks’ pair of recent wins over the Atlanta Hawks and Orlando Magic.

Ilyasova thoroughly cleaned up against the Hawks and the Magic by putting up a pair of double-double showings and his scrappy fourth quarter heroics against Orlando were critical in the Bucks being able to fend off the Magic’s second half comeback push.
