The Milwaukee Bucks have found their footing following a rocky start to the 2024-25 NBA season. Here are four takeaways from the halfway point.

According to ESPN’s duo, Khris Middleton, Bobby Portis and Pat Connaughton are all expected to be on the trading block as the Bucks seek an “impact player” to improve their chances at winning another championship with Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The Milwaukee Bucks are looking to make a splash this trade deadline. Khris Middleton, Bobby Portis, and Pat Connaughton are all expected to be available in potential deals for an impact player, sources told ESPN's Tim Bontemps and Brian Windhorst.

The Milwaukee Bucks are currently the fourth-best team in the Eastern Conference but they hope to climb higher in the standings before the NBA trade deadline next month. That means they might need to part ways with veteran stars who have been a major part of their lineup for years.

After a heck few days of travel, the Milwaukee Bucks easily dispatched the Miami Heat at home on Thursday night.

The FBI says the Bucks' Bobby Portis is among athletes whose homes have been burglarized, including Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.

Portis accumulated 16 points (7-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and three assists in 22 minutes during Thursday's 125-96 victory over the Heat.

Milwaukee comes into a matchup against Los Angeles as winners of five consecutive games. The teams play Saturday for the first time this season.

Bucks forward Bobby Portis' most famous phone contact is apparently his teammate on Milwaukee, guard Damian Lillard.

Damian Lillard had 29 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds and the Milwaukee Bucks overcame their travel issues to beat the Miami Heat 125-96 on Thursday for their fifth straight victory.

After being grounded in New Orleans all week by a historic winter storm and arriving in Milwaukee a little more than two hours before tipoff Thursday, the Bucks won their fifth straight game in convincing fashion.
