What happened: The Milwaukee Bucks face Boston on NBA League Pass during Monday's regular-season slate. Milwaukee enters the contest following a 121-107 defeat against the Toronto Raptors on Nov. 6.
Why it matters: The Bucks are searching for traction after dropping five straight contests to open the 2026-27 campaign at 1-8. That start leaves Milwaukee 15th in the Eastern Conference standings as the roster attempts to halt its early-season slide.
By the numbers: Milwaukee is 1-8 in 2026-27 through 9 games, dropping five straight games. Kyle Kuzma has recorded 10.3 points per game, 5.4 rebounds per game, and 2.7 assists per game in 2026-27 through 10 games.
What to watch: Milwaukee aims to break its five-game skid and stabilize its defense as regular-season play continues.
