Milwaukee Bucks

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward MarJon Beauchamp (illness) is available for Thursday's contest against Charlotte. He's won a bout with an illness to be available for the game. Beauchamp produced seven points on 3-for-3 shooting with three rebounds in nine minutes against the Hornets on Tuesday in an ugly blowout. Everything points to a big Bucks victory again on Thursday, so Beauchamp should see some more action, but he's not somebody fantasy managers should consider adding.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) has been upgraded to available for Thursday's meeting with the Charlotte Hornets. Antetokounmpo will play through patellar tendinitis in his right knee against the 15-43 Hornets, and he hasn't missed a game since Jan. 17. If this game gets out of hand, however, it should be noted that the Bucks could look to monitor the two-time MVP's minutes with the Chicago Bulls on tap for the second leg of a back-to-back on Friday. Over his last 10 games, Antetokounmpo is averaging 28.0 points on 64.4% shooting from the field, 10.0 boards, and 6.9 assists in 33.1 minutes and is obviously a set-and-forget fantasy play in season-long leagues. Thursday's spot against a Charlotte team allowing more DraftKings points to opposing power forwards than any other gives the Greek Freak serious upside to go off for a vintage performance if this contest stays competitive.

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward MarJon Beauchamp (illness) is probable for Thursday's matchup against Charlotte. The 23-year-old is battling an illness but is expected to suit up. We saw Beauchamp quite a lot early in the season, but he has been used very little in recent months. He's played in only 14 games since the calendar was flipped, and Beauchamp hasn't cracked the 10-minute mark in any of his last eight appearances.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) is officially listed as out for the Bucks' game on Thursday against the Hornets. The 32-year-old has been sidelined since February 6th due to his ankle injury, but signs indicate he is nearing a return. In Middleton's absence, Jae Crowder is expected to maintain his starting role, while Pat Connaughton is likely to see an increased role off the bench. Middleton, averaging 14.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 5.0 assists in 26.3 minutes per game this season, is a significant absence for the Bucks.

Milwaukee Bucks star big man Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is officially listed as probable for the Bucks' upcoming Thursday matchup against the Hornets. The 29-year-old saw limited action, playing just 24 minutes in Tuesday's blowout, where he still managed to contribute significantly with 24 points, eight rebounds, and an assist. Barring any unforeseen setbacks during shootaround, the former MVP is expected to be fully available for the rematch against Charlotte. Antetokounmpo boasts impressive season averages of 30.7 points, 11.2 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game in 34.9 minutes.
