Milwaukee Bucks

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) is probable for Monday's Central Division clash with the Detroit Pistons. It's not uncommon to see the multi-time MVP on the injury report, so he should be good to go, barring a setback with his shoulder contusion. Antetokounmpo amassed 31 points, 10 boards, nine assists, two steals, and one block against Detroit on Saturday, the first of consecutive meetings between the clubs. However, fantasy managers already know how dominant he can be.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) looks set to return to the court on Saturday against Detroit, with the team listing him as probable for the game. The former MVP sat out Wednesday's clash with Cleveland with a right shoulder contusion. Andre Jacksonfilled in for Antetokounmpo in the starting unit against the Cavaliers and will likely drop back to the bench for Saturday's matchup. The UConn product hasn't been a viable fantasy option during his rookie year.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) is out on Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Antetokounmpo is a late addition to the injury report with a right shoulder contusion, and Milwaukee has consecutive road games coming up against the last-place Detroit Pistons, so it remains unclear if Antetokounmpo's absence will extend into Saturday's game. While the Greek Freak continues to hurt fantasy managers with free-throw shooting and turnovers, points-league players are embracing his 31.2 points, 11.4 rebounds, 5.9 assists, and 2.4 combined steals plus blocks per game in 2023-24. Antetokounmpo's absence is a huge upgrade for Cleveland's entire offense, namely Jarrett Allen. Damian Lillard will be Milwaukee's offensive centerpiece on Wednesday, and more will be asked of Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez. Pat Connaughton and Bobby Portis are candidates for more run.

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Miami. He's been struck by an illness and couldn't play Monday versus Boston. Now, Gary Trent Jr. might have to sit out a second consecutive content. The 24-year-old is averaging close to 26 minutes a night off the Toronto bench this season and is a fairly significant miss for the team. Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett received a large workload without Trent Jr. on Monday, while Dennis Schroder was the biggest beneficiary from the second unit.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (rest) isn't spotted on the team's injury report leading into Wednesday's contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Bucks held Middleton out of Sunday's overtime win over the Sacramento Kings to manage his injured left knee that he underwent surgery on this past offseason, but he'll be back in the mix for the start of Milwaukee's three-game road trip on Wednesday. Andre Jackson Jr. nearly fouled out in 10 minutes of action in Sunday's scoreless spot start, with Pat Connaughton helping fill Middleton's void for 33 minutes and Bobby Portis posting the second double-double in his last three matchups. Middleton is getting his legs back with averages of 17.4 points, 6.2 assists, and 2.1 threes in 29.9 minutes over his latest 17 outings, but Cleveland is allowing the third-fewest points per game (110.7) this year.
