Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is probable ahead of Sunday's matchup with Philadelphia. The multi-time MVP is constantly on the league's injury report, so fantasy managers likely aren't overly concerned. But if Antetokounmpo isn't on the floor versus the 76ers, Bobby Portis, Malik Beasley, and Jae Crowder could all see a significant bump on the scoring end. Of course, Damian Lillard would be the No. 1 option offensively, especially with Khris Middleton (ankle) still sidelined.
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) has been cleared to play ahead of Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. As expected, the superstar forward will suit up after being listed as probable heading into this game. Antetokounmpo has been dealing with a banged up knee, but that shouldn't impact his performance. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable plugging Antetokounmpo back into their lineups on Friday.
Milwaukee Bucks guard Pat Connaughton (knee) has been listed as probable for the Friday night matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He's listed with patellar tendinitis in his left knee, so it seems to be a pain tolerance issue at this point. Connaughton hasn't been much of a fantasy-relevant player this season as he has only started in two games and his average minutes per game have dropped over the past few seasons. He'll remain in his bench role as the Bucks will try to get back up to the second seed in the East over the remaining stretch of the season.
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) remains on the injury report due to patellar tendinitis in his right knee, but he's still considered probable on Friday. The superstar big man played in the All-Star game with no issues and scored 23 points to help the East beat the West. He's also only missed two games so far this year and his last missed game was back on January 17. Since the hiring of Doc Rivers, the Bucks have fallen from the second seed to the third seed in the East and have gone 3-7 in their last 10 games. Antetokounmpo has been performing at a very high level this year but has to bring his teammates up to speed while they head down the stretch.
Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo had 23 points in his eighth career All-Star appearance on Sunday. The former MVP did the damage with an 11-for-16 effort from the field while collecting seven rebounds and an assist. The Bucks star is shooting a career-high 61.6 percent from the field for the season and showed off his extreme efficiency again in Indianapolis. It's been another great year for Antetokounmpo, but with the Bucks struggling lately, he might even have to squeeze a bit more out of himself over the last couple of months to help the team secure a good seeding for a playoff run.
