After all, the Milwaukee Bucks will get the opportunity to start both of their All-Stars in tonight’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Bucks will start All-Star point guard Damian Lillard in the backcourt next to former Lakers shooting guard Malik Beasley, All-NBA power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, 3-and-D center Brook Lopez, and Jae Crowder in place of part-time ex-All-Star small forward Khris Middleton (who is out again). This information is based on Milwaukee’s official Twitter/X account.

Even though there isn’t much evidence to support Darvin Ham’s decision to go with a three-guard lineup—especially against a team the size of the Bucks—he is still taking a risk by starting reserve point guard Spencer Dinwiddie, who hasn’t proven to be a consistent player on either end of the court since joining Los Angeles.
According to Jovan Buha of The Athletic, Dinwiddie will start alongside All-Star starting center Anthony Davis, starting power forward Rui Hachimura, and current starting guards D’Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves.
