Milwaukee Bucks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo has experienced three consecutive first-round exits with the team and is reportedly considering his future with the club. He is scheduled to meet with the team this week to discuss his future. NBA insider Marc Stein has reported that the Bucks remain "hopeful" that Antetokounmpo won't request a trade. Antetokounmpo has spent his entire NBA career in Milwaukee, where he has become a two-time MVP and nine-time All-Star. However, he will turn 31 in December, and personal accolades seem to be secondary for him at this stage of his career, with Antetokounmpo focused on winning another championship. Even if he moves on, Antetokounmpo will remain among the top producers in fantasy basketball, and there should still be plenty of juice left in him.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (Achilles) underwent surgery on Friday to repair a torn left Achilles sustained during a postseason loss to the Indiana Pacers. There is no timetable for his return. The multi-time All-Star averaged 24.9 points in his second season with the Bucks, up from the 2023-24 campaign. Unfortunately, it wasn't nearly as close to the career-high 32.2 points he averaged in his final year in Portland. It's unknown how the Milwaukee roster will look moving ahead. It's also not clear if Lillard has already played his final game with the Bucks. With that in mind, his redraft value can't get any lower heading into next season. However, dynasty managers should avoid any low-ball offers, especially since Lillard could have at least a few more productive years left in the tank once he's cleared to get back on the floor.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo put together a special line in Tuesday's Game 5 against the Indiana Pacers, but his team was eliminated from the playoffs with a 119-118 overtime defeat. Antetokounmpo posted his fourth career postseason triple-double with 30 points, 20 rebounds, and 13 assists, while collecting two steals and two blocks on the defensive end. He finished with 9-for-17 shooting and had an 11-for-17 record at the line. Throughout the entire postseason, Antetokounmpo averaged 33.0 points, 15.4 rebounds, and 6.6 assists, but the Bucks were still dumped out in the first round for the third consecutive year. The team has won only one playoff series since its 2021 championship run, which must be very frustrating for Antetokounmpo. The two-time MVP began to draw links with the San Antonio Spurs this week, and his partnership with Victor Wembanyama would certainly be something extremely unique.
