On Thursday Andy Bunker and Randy McMichael previewed the pivotal Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Atlanta Hawks and Milwaukee Bucks. And they brought up the idea that Cam Reddish has suddenly found himself in the most important 1-on-1 matchup in tonight’s game: Middleton vs Reddish.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is officially out for tonight's Game 5 with the leg injury he suffered in Game 4, which puts the offensive load for Milwaukee on Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday.
Reddish was the first player off the bench in the Hawks Game 4 win over the Bucks and did a good job defending Middleton when given that assignment.
Although Andy and Randy believe the Reddish-Middleton matchup will be essential for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals but they don’t believe he needs to start tonight.
Take a listen to Andy & Randy's conversation on this matchup, which was had before Giannis was officially ruled out for Game 5...
