The Milwaukee Bucks’ schedule got disrupted last week after their game against the New Orleans Pelicans was cancelled due to snow storm in Louisiana.
That one game getting postponed created a ripple effect to the rest of the team’s schedule, something that will probably bite them back come the playoffs.
Head coach Doc Rivers earlier commented about the injuries to his key players come playoff time.
He said he would want Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard, and Khris Middleton (in case he does not get traded) to be all present for them in the postseason, something they did not get to experience last year when they lost to the Indiana Pacers in the first round.
With the new schedule published by NBA Communications, that dream might not happen.

According to the revised schedule, the postponed New Orleans Pelicans-Milwaukee Bucks game will be played on April 6.
That will be the second game of a back-to-back as they will play the Miami Heat the night before. Interestingly, both Pelicans and Heat were supposed to be the Bucks back-to-back on January 22 and 23.
Milwaukee’s game with the Golden State Warriors was also moved from March 30 to March 18.
Their home game against the Pelicans was also moved from April 9 to April 10.
To sum up, the Bucks will have six games in nine days, four of them will be back to back.
The last two games will still be against the Detroit Pistons which could potentially be a playoffs match up if their play continues.
