Milwaukee Bucks point guard Patrick Beverley (ankle) is listed as probable for Tuesday's contest with the Boston Celtics. The 35-year-old has missed the last three games due to a sprained right ankle, but he will likely make his return to the court on Tuesday. Over his last 14 outings, he's averaged 5.6 points and 3.3 rebounds in 21.7 minutes per game. Should the veteran point guard be unable to suit up, his next chance to return comes Wednesday versus the Orlando Magic.
Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (hip) is now listed as probable for Tuesday's contest against the Celtics. He has been dealing with soreness in his left hip. Lillard is a late addition to the injury report, but the 33-year-old should be good to go for tipoff and he is always a must-start in all fantasy formats. If Lillard cannot suit up, Pat Connaughton and Bobby Portis could grab more minutes of playing time than usual.
Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (quadriceps) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Celtics. His presence on the injury report isn't anything DFS managers aren't used to at this point. However, although the veteran might be on the floor versus Boston, there's a chance he won't suit in Wednesday's encounter with Orlando, especially since he took a shot to the face in Sunday's loss to the Knicks. Nonetheless, the 32-year-old scored at least 21 points in two of his last three appearances. But if Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is ruled out, Middleton's ceiling could increase significantly.
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is questionable for Tuesday's clash with the Boston Celtics. The multi-time MVP has been in and out of the lineup over the last few weeks because of left hamstring tendinopathy. However, he was on the floor for Sunday's loss to the Knicks and finished with 28 points, 15 rebounds, eight assists, and two blocks. With Milwaukee in danger of sliding down the Eastern Conference standings, Antetokounmpo will likely suit up for the must-win contest. But if he can't play, Khris Middleton (quad) and Damian Lillard will be locks for all DFS lineups. Bobby Portis could also see a surge in fantasy production if Antetokounmpo isn't available.
Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton played only 13 minutes against the Knicks on Sunday, exiting the contest after getting hit in the mouth. The Bucks star took an inadvertent hit to the mouth area from New York's Donte DiVincenzo in the second quarter. Bucks head coach Doc Rivers said postgame that Middleton got a tooth knocked out in the incident. While this wasn't a serious trauma, fantasy managers will still need to monitor Middleton's status closely ahead of Tuesday's matchup against Boston. Bobby Portis would be a guy to target if Middleton can't play, with Jae Crowder his likeliest replacement in the starting unit.
