What happened: Milwaukee suffered its sixth consecutive defeat to drop to 1-9 on the season. The Bucks remain winless across their last six outings.
Why it matters: The early slump underscores Milwaukee's difficult transition following the June trade that sent Giannis Antetokounmpo to Miami. At 1-9, the Bucks sit near the bottom of the conference standings.
By the numbers: Tatum has recorded 27.9 points per game and 6.3 rebounds per game and 8.0 assists per game in 2026-27 through 8 games. George has recorded 20.4 points per game and 5.2 rebounds per game and 4.1 assists per game in 2026-27 through 9 games.
What to watch: Milwaukee continues its regular-season slate seeking to end the skid, while Boston looks to build on its road win.
