The Milwaukee Bucks won two straight games going into the NBA All-Star Break, both on the road against the Orlando Magic and Oklahoma City Thunder. Milwaukee's new players were the biggest factors, with Cam Thomas pouring it in vs Orlando and Ousmane Dieng leading a balanced Bucks attack that dominated the Thunder on Thursday.

Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti discussed how Dieng has filled the wing need that Milwaukee has struggled with since Khris Middleton's injury decline, the coaching staff correctly utilizing Thomas in a sixth man role, the improved passing and defense the younger Bucks have displayed, and how Milwaukee could make a run into the meat of the Eastern Conference play-in race with Giannis Antetokounmpo returning soon. Plus Ti proposes a solution to tanking and the hosts cover Bobby Portis' three-point contest hopes.
