Milwaukee Bucks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports that Milwaukee Bucks guard/forwardPat Connaughton(ankle) is ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. After making four consecutive appearances, Connaughton was unavailable for Sunday's meeting with the New Orleans Pelicans due to a right ankle sprain. He will now have to sit out another contest because of the ailment. Connaughton has averaged only 4.3 points and 2.5 rebounds in 14.2 minutes per contest in the 2024-25 season, so his absence this evening won't be a big issue for Milwaukee.

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Pat Connaughton (ankle) is considered questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. After making four consecutive appearances, Connaughton was unavailable for Sunday's meeting with the New Orleans Pelicans due to a right ankle sprain. He may now have to sit out another contest because of the ailment. Connaughton has averaged only 4.3 points and 2.5 rebounds in 14.2 minutes per game this season, so his absence is not a big deal for the Bucks.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) has been listed as probable for Tuesday's clash against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Bucks are expected to have Antetokounmpo back in the lineup after he missed Sunday's contest against the New Orleans Pelicans with a minor knee issue. The game marked the second leg of a back-to-back, so the team was likely just managing Antetokounmpo's workload. Antetokounmpo has recorded triple-doubles in each of his last two outings, including a historic 35-17-20 stat line in a victory over the Philadelphia 76ers.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (foot) will play on Saturday versus the Heat. The foot sprain continues to be an issue. Fortunately, it won't be enough to keep the multi-time All-Star off the floor. Of course, Antetokounmpo is always a must-start in any redraft format. On the other hand, he's averaged only 24 points in two meetings with Miami this season, so DFS managers might have a tough time getting a return on their investment.

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Damian Lillard (calf) may be back on the floor sooner than expected. "He's hopeful to get cleared in the next week or week and a half to go full-go and then resume basketball in games for the Bucks," ESPN's Shams Charania said on Wednesday during an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show. Lillard has been out of action since March 18 due to a blood-clotting issue related to his right calf. It looks like the Bucks could get him back into the lineup for the playoffs, which begin on April 19. Until then, Ryan Rollins will continue to roll as the starting point guard. He has recently started to feel more comfortable in the role, averaging 17.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 4.7 assists over the past three games.
