The return of point guard Jrue Holiday has been a big factor in the Bucks moving up in the N-B-A Power Poll to number-four.
Milwaukee trails Phoenix, Memphis, and Golden State.
The team promptly won three straight games after Holiday returned to its lineup.
The Bucks have notched quality victories over Memphis and Chicago.
Coach Mike Budenholzer’s squad is especially productive when it has both point guards – Holiday and George Hill – on the court at the same time.
Milwaukee ranks in the top 10 of the N-B-A for its 36 percent shooting of 3-pointers and for the percentage of its shots that have come from outside the arc – at just over 44 percent.
