Milwaukee Bucks

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is listed as probable on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's encounter with Charlotte. Antetokounmpo has been a regular on the injury list with right knee patellar tendinitis, but the issue hasn't slowed him down in any way. The former MVP has played in 17 consecutive games, averaging 30.4 points, 9.8 rebounds, 7.8 assists, and 1.1 steals for the month. Antetokounmpo has been limited to 15.5 points against the Hornets this season, but that's only because both of the previous games have turned into ugly blowouts.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) remains out for Tuesday's game versus the Charlotte Hornets. Head coach Doc Rivers said before Sunday's win over the Philadelphia 76ers that Middleton is "getting closer", so while it's not a great sign that the former All-Star is ruled out so far in advance, he has a decent chance at returning in Thursday's rematch with Charlotte. Jae Crowder should continue to start in Tuesday's soft matchup against the Hornets.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo ran the show with 30 points, 12 rebounds, and nine assists in Sunday's 119-98 victory over Philadelphia. He added one block on the defensive end while finishing with 10-for-17 shooting from the field. Antetokounmpo also enjoyed an above-average performance at the foul line, hitting nine of 12 attempts. He was on the injury report with a right knee issue ahead of the game but came through 36 minutes of action just fine, although Antetokounmpo's efforts included six turnovers -- he has given away the ball more times just twice in 2023-24. Milwaukee has a back-to-back coming up later in the week, and Antetokounmpo's status must be monitored due to the knee issue.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) will play on Sunday versus Philadelphia. He was listed as probable, so there wasn't much concern regarding his availability. Of course, the multi-time MVP should always be included in every fantasy lineup imaginable. But he has underperformed against the 76ers throughout his career, so he could have a tough time hitting value in DFS setups.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) remains out on Sunday versus Philadelphia. This will mark the veteran's seventh consecutive absence because of an ankle injury, which occurred before the All-Star break. While Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and Damian Lillard should pick up the slack offensively, Bobby Portis, averaging 17.2 points and 7.1 boards without Middleton active this season, commands consideration for all fantasy lineups.
