Milwaukee Bucks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) has been cleared to play in Sunday's big clash against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was initially listed as probable on the injury report after delivering a highly productive 35-minute effort in Saturday's victory over the Indiana Pacers. Antetokounmpo finished the game with 34 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists, three blocks, and one steal. This gave Antetokounmpo his sixth double-double over the past seven games. The stretch also includes one triple-double.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (groin) is available for Saturday's matchup versus Indiana. He's back on the injury report because of a groin injury. Yet, that's nothing new. He was also probable, so most fantasy managers expected to see him on the floor on Saturday evening. Unfortunately, Lillard has struggled offensively in three meetings with the Pacers this season, averaging only 16 points. Although the former Trail Blazer is still a must-start in all redraft formats, DFS participants may want to think twice, especially considering his rostering cost.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is available for Saturday's Central Division showdown with the Indiana Pacers. He's back on the injury report because of his ailing calf. However, the 30-year-old hasn't missed a game in over a month, so that trend will continue on Saturday night. Damian Lillard (groin) is also good to go, which is excellent news for the team. Antetokounmpo has played well all year. Yet, he's played even better versus Indiana, averaging 28.7 points, 13.0 rebounds, 7.7 assists, and 1.3 steals in three meetings with the Pacers during the 2024-25 campaign.

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Kevin Porter Jr. (ankle) is on the injury report for Saturday's contest against the Indiana Pacers, but he is expected to play, as the team has given him a probable designation. The 24-year-old is battling a left ankle sprain. Porter Jr. was outstanding at both ends in Thursday's win over the Los Angeles Lakers, recording 22 points with two blocks and two steals. However, with Damian Lillard (groin) in the lineup, fantasy managers can't rely on Porter Jr. to provide consistent production.

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Damian Lillard (groin) once again holds a probable tag on the injury report entering Saturday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers. He has been a regular on the report due to groin soreness, but Lillard has made 10 consecutive appearances. During this stretch, Lillard has averaged 23.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 5.9 assists. However, the nine-time All-Star has picked up his playmaking recently, recording back-to-back double-doubles with assists. Lillard finished with 15 points and 11 assists on 4-for-14 shooting when the Bucks kicked off this week with a dramatic 115-114 loss to the Pacers.
