Milwaukee Bucks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) will play against Brooklyn on Thursday. Milwaukee has upgraded him from probable to available. Antetokounmpo returned from a four-game absence on Tuesday to feast against Indiana. He recorded 30 points, 12 rebounds, five assists, and two steals across 35 minutes. The former MVP already boasts a pair of double-doubles against the Nets this season and looks set for another big game against a struggling team.

Milwaukee Bucks guard AJ Green (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. Green is dealing with a lower back contusion that may cause him to miss just his second game of the season. The 25-year-old has been a sporadic fantasy option this season, averaging just 7.7 PPG this season while producing mostly from beyond the arc. Green is shooting 44.2% from three but is getting up just 5.1 attempts per game. If active, there's a chance Green could see more playing time if Milwaukee turns the game into a blowout with Brooklyn being on the second leg of a back-to-back. If the 25-year-old can't suit up, expect Gary Trent Jr. to get more volume.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is listed as probable for Thursday night's matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. Antetokounmpo is dealing with right knee soreness but should be able to gut it out against Brooklyn. The Greek Freak had missed four games in a row with an illness before being able to return to action against the Pacers on Monday. Giannis will be a solid fantasy option on Thursday night against a porous Brooklyn team that will be on the second leg of a back-to-back, though there may be some potential blowout worries that could limit his fantasy production. Fantasy managers should start him regardless as Antetokounmpo should produce at a high clip even if he's limited to just three quarters of action.

Milwaukee Bucks guard AJ Green (calf) is probable for Tuesday's matchup against Indiana. He practiced fully on Monday, suggesting Green's calf injury isn't very serious and that he will be good to go for the final contest of 2024. Green operates as a three-point specialist who has hit nearly 44 percent of his attempts from downtown this season. Only 19 of Green's 167 field-goal attempts have been two-point shots. He's averaging 7.7 points and 2.3 rebounds in 21.8 minutes for the campaign.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness) carries a questionable tag on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's matchup against Indiana. However, he appears to be on track to return from a four-game absence. The multi-time MVP practiced on Monday, and Bucks head coach Doc Rivers said Antetokounmpo will likely play without any restrictions. Antetokounmpo returns at the perfect time, as he has dominated the Pacers in recent years. When the teams had their first head-to-head clash this season, Antetokounmpo led Milwaukee to victory with a 37-point triple-double. Bobby Portis will head back to the bench with Antetokounmpo's return, but he continues to have fantasy value as a double-double threat.
