Milwaukee Bucks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (groin) is questionable for Wednesday's game in Charlotte. The former Trail Blazer wasn't available for Monday's loss to OKC because of left groin soreness. But the Bucks were extremely shorthanded, with Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), Khris Middleton (ankles), Bobby Portis (personal) and Brook Lopez (back) also sidelined for that one. Luckily, Middleton, Portis, and Lopez are probable for Wednesday night, so they should be more involved offensively if Antetokounmpo and Lillard aren't on the floor versus the Hornets. Fantasy managers may also see expanded production from Gary Trent Jr. and Taurean Prince.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Hornets. The Greek Freak has dealt with right patella tendinopathy for most of the season. Despite that, he's averaged a career-high 31.8 points with 12.2 rebounds, 5.9 assists, and 1.3 blocks. Antetokounmpo was sidelined for Monday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Fortunately, the team could have Khris Middleton (ankles), Brook Lopez (back), and Bobby Portis (personal) back on the floor, which will certainly help. If Damian Lillard (groin), who is also questionable, and Antetokounmpo don't suit up, Middleton, Lopez, and Portis should be more involved on the offensive end. The same can be said about Gary Trent Jr.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Bobby Portis (personal) will not return to the lineup on Monday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Initially, there was a chance Portis would be available after the team listed him as doubtful for the game. However, Milwaukee has now ruled him out, meaning Portis will miss a sixth consecutive game. Andre Jackson Jr. and Taurean Prince will be the only regular starters in the Bucks lineup on Monday, so players like AJ Green and Gary Trent Jr. are expected to step up for the team.

Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (back) will sit out the second leg of a back-to-back against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday. Despite dealing with a back issue, Lopez put in a 32-minute shift against the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday. However, he will join Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), Damian Lillard (groin), Khris Middleton (ankle), and Bobby Portis (personal) on the sidelines against the Thunder. With so many regulars out of the lineup, the rest of the team will have a massive role to play in Monday's contest.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (groin) has been downgraded from questionable to out on Monday and will end up watching from the sidelines against the Oklahoma City Thunder. When the team's report initially came out halfway through the afternoon, Lillard had a shot to play, but just a couple hours later he was already downgraded. He'll join Khris Middleton (ankle), Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), and likely Bobby Portis (personal) on the inactive list for the night. A.J. Green and Gary Trent Jr. will be at the top of the streamer list as they've seen the most playing time this season. Green averages 7.9 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game while Trent posts 9.6 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists, and 1.0 steals per night.
