Giannis is not expected to play tonight, and his status for the series remains unclear.
Dame Lillard was the star of game one. Lillard dropped 35 points in the first half to lead the Bucks to a win. Lillard was scoreless, however, in the second half.
Khris Middleton scored 23 points while shooting 9-14 from the floor.
Bobby Portis Jr. added a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds.
Milwaukee shot 47.1 percent from the floor.

Indiana knows they need to take advantage of the games without Giannis.
The Pacers enter this series as the number-one scoring offense in the NBA.
The offense was an issue in Game 1, as they shot just 39.6 percent from the floor.
Pascal Siakam was not to blame for the loss. Siakam dropped a game-best 36 points.
Myles Turner added 17 points and eight rebounds.
Tyrese Haliburton continued to struggle in the loss. Haliburton scored just nine points while dishing out eight assists.
