Bucks: The Bucks played their first home game since landing Kyle Kuzma in a trade that sent three-time All-Star wing Khris Middleton to the Washington Wizards. After coming off the bench in his Bucks debut, Kuzma started Sunday and had 13 points, eight rebounds and five assists. The other two players to join the Bucks at the trade deadline – center Jericho Sims and guard/forward Kevin Porter Jr. – were in uniform but didn’t play.
