Game Notes

• “Andre Iguodala (rest) and Draymond Green (rest) will not play tonight at Milwaukee.” — Warriors PR

• “Steve Kerr said Draymond Green has been dealing with some nagging injuries that should be helped by three off days.” — Rusty Simmons, San Francisco Chronicle

• “David Lee starting.” — Diamond Leung, Bay Area News Group

• “Khris Middleton’s buzzer-beater and Ersan Ilyasova’s career scoring night has the young Bucks (36-36) feeling confident again entering a stretch against Golden State, Atlanta and Chicago.
  .
  Milwaukee had dropped six in a row and 13 of 16 before Middleton’s 3-pointer gave the team an 89-88 home win over Miami on Tuesday. Ilyasova then scored 34 while hitting five 3s in Thursday’s 111-107 victory over visiting Indiana.
  .
  Middleton, who had 17 points against the Pacers, is scoring 17.5 per game over his last 25. Ilyasova also has stepped up by averaging 21.8 points and 9.0 rebounds while going 12 for 20 from beyond the arc over his past four.
  .
  After their first back-to-back wins in five weeks, the Bucks own a three-game lead over the Heat for East’s sixth seed.” — Taylor Bechtold, AP/STATS
