Milwaukee Bucks

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) practiced Tuesday in a relatively light session, per head coach Doc Rivers. The Bucks play the Boston Celtics in a clash of two East powerhouses Wednesday night, where Antetokounmpo should be considered questionable to return from a one-game absence after missing Saturday's win over the Phoenix Sun due to tendinopathy in his left hamstring. Milwaukee will submit their official injury report later on Tuesday. Damian Lillard would shoulder the offensive load if the Greek Freak remains out, with Bobby Portis Jr. directly benefitting fantasy-wise. Across four games without Antetokounmpo this year, Portis is averaging 23.3 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.5 three-pointers, 1.8 assists, and 1.0 steals but faces a Celtics squad giving up the fewest fantasy points per game to opposing power forwards.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) won't suit up for Sunday's meeting with Phoenix. Head coach Doc Rivers said on Sunday morning that the multi-time MVP would likely be available. However, that's not the case, with Antetokounmpo getting the afternoon off before potentially returning for Wednesday's pivotal meeting with the Celtics. He hasn't missed much time this season, which is a plus for fantasy managers. Yet, the 29-year-old has battled numerous ailments over the last few weeks, including Achilles, knee, and hamstring issues. As a result, Antetokounmpo may get more time off in preparation for a deep postseason push. But as far as Sunday's game is concerned, Bobby Portis, who has averaged 20.7 points and 9.7 rebounds this season when Antetokounmpo isn't available, is a lock for DFS lineups.

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward MarJon Beauchamp (back) carries a questionable tag ahead of Sunday's matchup against Phoenix. He's been battling back spasms lately and could be unavailable for a third straight game. Beauchaump's absence wouldn't typically hurt Milwaukee, but Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) and Malik Beasley (back) are also questionable for Sunday. The 23-year-old would be a useful piece for the rotation with his versatility if Milwaukee can't run with a full lineup.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) isn't on the injury report for Sunday's contest against Phoenix, which signals he's ready to return to the lineup. Middleton last played on Feb. 6 and has missed the past 16 games with a left ankle sprain. Jae Crowder has been filling in for him in the starting unit and appears poised to return to a bench role on Sunday. However, he could still get some extra run-outs, with Middleton possibly on a minutes restriction following his lengthy absence. There's also a chance Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) and Malik Beasley (back) sit out Sunday's action, which would further impact the rotation.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) has received a questionable tag for their matchup against the Phoenix Suns on Monday. The superstar big man has appeared on the injury report a lot with this hamstring issue, but recently he was popping up as probable instead of questionable. There could be some more pain involved this time around, so fantasy managers will want to stay tuned for an update leading up to tip-off. If he's unable to give it a go, Brook Lopez will have to step up on defense while either Bobby Portis or Pat Connaughton would join the starting lineup. The last time Antetokounmpo had to miss a game, however, Patrick Beverley was the one to get the starting role.
