Win streak raises confidence in both the Bucks alongside boost in the chance Damian Lillard returns
In this week’s Tuesday Tracker, we asked you about the Bucks’ seeding, Damian Lillard’s prospects of returning with recent news of his improvement, and your overall confidence in the team. We also touched on Giannis’ health and Mike Budenholzer’s return. Here are the highlights:
- 81% of voters believe the Bucks will finish with the five seed. A week ago, only 14% thought that would happen, while two-thirds felt they would get six.
- While the majority still don’t think Lillard will play again this season, 46% of fans polled think he’ll appear by the end of the Bucks’ first-round series. That’s up 32% last week.
- 73% of our respondents think Giannis isn’t at 100% right now, and while 67% of them think he won’t be by the time the postseason starts, they still think he’ll be good enough.
- Results are split nearly evenly on whether or not Milwaukee’s current win streak portends better chances at winning their first-round series.
- Doc Rivers’ disapproval rating is still high at 52%, but down from 75% a week ago. Jon Horst’s approval is up from 29% to 48%, with disapproval dropping from 55% to 31%.
- In a bonus result from SB Nation’s Reacts poll, 55% of fans nationwide think the Celtics will win the Eastern Conference, while 45% are taking the field. FanDuel has Boston as the favorites to make the NBA Finals as well at -145, while Milwaukee is +5500, behind Indiana at +3400 and ahead of Detroit at +10000.
