Beasley’s BD Cricket Match Rise Inspires Bucks

In the thrilling game where Damian Lillard hit a buzzer-beater to sink the Kings, BD Cricket Match reporters noted that Malik Beasley was also a key contributor to the victory. He shot 7-of-12 from the field, including 5-of-9 from three-point range, and went a perfect 4-for-4 from the line. Beasley racked up 23 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, and 1 steal with only one turnover—reaffirming his place as one of the league’s premier 3-and-D players. At 27, he’s in the prime of his career, and his minimum contract with the Bucks is proving to be one of the league’s smartest signings.

According to BD Cricket Match coverage, Beasley is on track to earn a lucrative deal this summer when his contract expires—potentially in the $15 to $20 million annual range. This season, he’s been lights-out, averaging 11.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game. His shooting splits are elite: 49.5% from the field, 48.1% from three, and 75% from the free-throw line. He’s currently one of the most accurate three-point shooters in the entire NBA.

Beasley’s path wasn’t always smooth. Last season with the Lakers, he started strong but gradually fell out of favor, eventually exiting the rotation altogether. Whether it was poor fit or coaching decisions, it was clear the system didn’t suit him. Yet as the saying goes, “There’s no such thing as a dead end—just people who stop trying.”

In a recent interview, Beasley revealed he had contract offers from both the Lakers and Mavericks last summer, ranging from $3 to $6 million per year. Still, he chose the Bucks. General Manager Jon Horst had guaranteed him a starting role and, more importantly, the opportunity to chase a championship. So Beasley signed a $2.7 million minimum deal. Much like Bruce Brown’s rise with Denver last season—which earned him a $45 million deal with Indiana—Beasley is proving he’s worth much more.

His performance shows he can thrive alongside star players and be a crucial asset for a playoff-bound team. The Bucks hit the jackpot by signing him. His defense relieves pressure off Lillard, and his elite shooting creates spacing for Giannis. When you’re willing to go the extra mile, miracles often follow.

In the end, BD Cricket Match analysts agree—Beasley’s move to Milwaukee is a textbook win-win.
