Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is officially active for Sunday's battle with the Oklahoma City Thunder. The multi-time MVP recently missed two games because of a hamstring issue. But he returned for Thursday's win over the Nets, finishing with 21 points. OKC is one of the best teams in the National Basketball Association, which should negatively impact Antetokounmpo's production. However, he's still a must-start in any fantasy setup.
Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) is probable for Sunday's clash with OKC. Middleton missed over a month because of an ankle injury. However, he's appeared in two of the Bucks' previous three games, so he got the night off on Thursday against Brooklyn. That said, the 32-year-old logged 32 minutes in his most recent game. As a result, Middleton is someone to consider for all fantasy formats, including those participating in DFS contests.
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is expected to play on Sunday versus OKC. He missed two games recently because of left hamstring tendinopathy. But the multi-time MVP was back in the lineup for Thursday's win over the Brooklyn Nets. However, Antetokounmpo amassed 21 points, one of his lowest scoring outputs of the 2023-24 campaign. That said, fantasy managers should always keep Antetokounmpo on the radar. But Oklahoma City has held its own defending the paint this season, so he could be in store for another below-average showing.
Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (back) is expected to suit up against the Wizards. He was a late addition to Friday's injury report and ultimately was ruled out heading into the Raptors' loss to Oklahoma City. Javon Freeman-Liberty moved into the starting lineup, with the rookie finishing with 10 points, the second double-digit scoring performance of his brief career. Once again, Toronto won't have RJ Barrett (personal) and Immanuel Quickley (personal), meaning Trent, averaging nearly 17 shot attempts in his previous eight appearances, should remain heavily involved, assuming he gets the green light. Unfortunately, Trent's anticipated return may limit the ceiling of Gradey Dick, who scored 21 points on Friday evening.
Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (back) has unexpectedly popped up on the injury report on Friday afternoon and is now considered questionable for their game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He's listed with lower back stiffness and the Raptors are only competing for the number-one pick in the NBA Draft, so they're not going to force Trent to play if he's not 100% healthy. If he's downgraded to out, which seems more likely with this late of an injury report, that would mean all five starters are out for this game. Jahmi'us Ramsey would likely move into the starting five along with Bruce Brown and Gradey Dick. All three could be considered streaming options, but they'll have an uphill battle against a playoff contending Thunder team.
