All eyes turn to the Bucks, who hobble into Washington riding a three-game skid while the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade noise builds.
The Wizards aren’t much steadier, but they already showed they can steal a game from this Bucks group after a one-point win on Dec. 31.
Both teams sit deep in the Eastern Conference standings, and their recent play suggests that execution late has mattered more than pedigree.

What our Post expert thinks about Bucks vs. Wizards
Washington’s last win in this series came behind 20 points from Bub Carrington despite Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 33-point night.
Alex Sarr continues to anchor the Wizards with 17.7 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks per game, while Tre Johnson’s recent three-point volume tests a Bucks defense that allows over 14 makes per night.
For Milwaukee, Ryan Rollins has emerged as a steady creator, and AJ Green’s perimeter shooting adds spacing, but all of it orbits around Antetokounmpo as the trade chatter threatens to overshadow what happens on the floor.
