Bucks' Carter-Williams, Parker to start vs. Cavs; Mayo and Ennis out

David Richard / USA TODAY Sports

The Milwaukee Bucks' starting lineup has been in flux as of late, but the team will look to restore some stability with its first unit on Saturday.

Point guard Michael Carter-Williams and forward Jabari Parker will return to shore up the Bucks' starting five, as the team looks to reach a 5-5 record against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Carter-Williams has missed the team's previous five contests with a left ankle injury, while Parker was rested against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday, in addition to missing the first four games of the regular season.

The Bucks also confirmed that backup floor general Tyler Ennis - who has started in Carter-Williams' absence - and shooting guard O.J. Mayo will not suit up for Saturday's contest.

Mayo - nursing a nagging hamstring injury - has yet to play this season
