Surprise! The Bucks will once again be dealing with new injuries and a fresh starting lineup when they host the Celtics on Saturday night.
Ersan Ilyasova missed the second half of last night's 92-76 loss in Charlotte due to a sore hamstring while Caron Butler was also scratched last night with a swollen knee, and neither will be available tonight.
Caron Butler (knee)and Ersan Ilyasova (hamstring, thumb) won't play for the #Bucks tonight.
