NBA In-Series Tournament on Friday, the Milwaukee Bucks will host the New York Knicks. The question being asked is if Damian Lillard is playing on Friday night. After four games with his new side, Lillard is still new to the club and it is yet to be seen whether he and his team gear up to take on a resilient Knicks. After receiving a shock 130-111 thrashing from the Toronto Raptors, the pressure is already on Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo to ensure Milwaukee play well and win this game. He has not been listed in the team's injury report, so he is most likely to start the game as usual. Injuries RJ Barrett of the Knicks injured his knee and was down with knee soreness on Wednesday. He is listed as questionable for Friday. Milwaukee’s Andre Jackson Jr. has a left hip contusion and he is also listed as questionable. Preview Milwaukee can be criticized for defense easily, but their offense too was not very good. Though Damian Lillard dominated and played out of his mind on opening night, the results have been mixed in the three games since then. Giannis Antetokounmpo too has shown signs of struggle, he could put up 16 points in 28 minutes against Toronto. The Milwaukee faithful are upset with the slow start, but they still are hopeful that the roster clearly has the talent to flip the switch at any moment. That moment may come on Friday.
