The Bucks Are Starting Who? Milwaukee's Tuesday Lineup is Pure Chaos

The Milwaukee Bucks are rolling out a starting five on Tuesday that sounds less like an NBA contender and more like a random 2K MyLeague simulation you accidentally auto-generated.

According to Underdog NBA, Milwaukee is trotting out a starting lineup of Burries, Ryan Rollins, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kyle Kuzma, and Myles Turner for their Tuesday night matchup against the New York Knicks.

"Lineup alert: Bucks will start Burries, Rollins, Jaquez Jr., Kuzma, Turner on Tuesday."

If you had this exact quintet on your bingo card, you are either a time traveler or you need to be investigated by the league. The Bucks are currently riding a brutal three-game losing streak, having just been blown out by the Boston Celtics 117-97 and dropping games to the Toronto Raptors and Celtics before that. Desperation breeds innovation, or in this case, whatever this rotation is.

To be fair, there is some actual basketball talent buried in this chaotic mix. Jaquez Jr. has been a bright spot since coming over from the Miami Heat this summer, putting up a very respectable 15.2 points and 5.8 boards a night. Turner still anchors the middle, and Kuzma is always a threat to get hot on any given night.

But starting Rollins at point guard is the kind of move that sends sportsbooks scrambling to adjust player props. Rollins has barely averaged 18.5 minutes a game, and now he is being handed the keys to an offense that desperately needs a spark. If you are looking at the assist lines or usage rates tonight, you are flying completely blind.

Milwaukee has to stop the bleeding in New York before turning around to host the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday. If this patchwork starting five actually pulls off a win, we might have to start questioning everything we know about roster construction. If they get run off the floor, expect another lineup shuffle before the weekend.
