Milwaukee Bucks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Damian Lillard (groin) will play in Friday's matchup against the San Antonio Spurs. The veteran playmaker was a late addition to the injury report on Friday due to groin soreness, but he has been upgraded from probable to available. Lillard struggled in his last outing against the Portland Trail Blazers, but his prior performances had been top-class. The nine-time All-Star bagged a pair of triple-doubles last week and began this week's action with a 35-point effort against the Utah Jazz.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) has officially been cleared for Friday's fascinating meeting with Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs. Antetokounmpo is ready to make his 16th consecutive appearance after receiving an upgrade from probable to available. He has posted three straight 30-point double-doubles ahead of Friday's action. This will be the third meeting between Antetokounmpo and Wembanyama. The Bucks star has previously dominated the clashes, averaging 34.5 points, 15.0 rebounds, and 7.5 assists compared to Wembanyama's 18.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 4.0 blocks.

Milwaukee Bucks guard AJ Green (quad) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Green has missed the last five games due to a quad issue, but the fact he's questionable for this game gives hope that he'll be able to suit up. It's unclear if the Bucks plan to have Green on a minutes limit if he's able to play. If he sits again, Pat Connaughton and Gary Trent Jr. should both see bigger roles in the rotation. Trent has been playing more minutes lately and is worth streaming with the Bucks banged up right now.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is listed as probable ahead of Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. It shouldn't shock anyone that Antetokounmpo is on the injury report ahead of this game. The superstar forward has been on regular on the injury report this season. Despite that, Antetokounmpo has suited up for every game this month. Fantasy managers should expect him to once again be out there on Friday. If not, Pat Connaughton, Taurean Prince, and Khris Middleton would all see bigger roles in the rotation.

Milwaukee Bucks center Bobby Portis (personal) remains out ahead of Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Portis will now miss his fourth game in a row due to personal reasons. The Bucks haven't given a timetable on Portis, so for now fantasy managers should consider him as day-to-day. Portis has seen his playing time take a dip over the last few weeks. It'll be interesting to see what kind of role he has in the rotation once he's cleared to play again. The Bucks will likely use a committee approach between Pat Connaughton, Taurean Prince, and Gary Trent Jr. until Portis returns. Between the three, Trent appears to be getting the biggest boost in playing time.
