Milwaukee Bucks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (hip) is now listed as probable for Tuesday's contest against the Celtics. He has been dealing with soreness in his left hip. Lillard is a late addition to the injury report, but the 33-year-old should be good to go for tipoff and he is always a must-start in all fantasy formats. If Lillard cannot suit up, Pat Connaughton and Bobby Portis could grab more minutes of playing time than usual.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (ankle) is listed as out for Tuesday's contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves. With nothing to play for at this point, the 15-64 Wizards will keep Kuzma out of action for their third straight game due to his sprained right ankle. His next chance to play comes on Friday when Washington hosts the visiting Chicago Bulls. 2021 first-rounder Corey Kispert is shaping up as a "silly season" hero, providing 18.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.9 steals, and 3.1 three-pointers per game through his last nine contests. Kispert should continue handling heavy minutes from the first unit, but it's a dismal matchup in a game with significant blowout risk against a T-Wolves team that's giving up the fewest DraftKings points to opposing shooting guards.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (ankle) finds himself with a questionable tag ahead of Tuesday's encounter with the Timberwolves. He's played in just one of the past five games, landing on the shelf with a right ankle sprain. Jordan Poole and Deni Avdija have a bigger role on offense without Kuzma. Meanwhile. Corey Kispert has started to see a lot of extra action, reaching the 40-minute plateau three times in the past five games. He's finally found consistency lately, becoming a reliable fantasy option by averaging 19.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.8 assists with 3.3 three-pointers through the first few games of the month.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is questionable for Tuesday's clash with the Boston Celtics. The multi-time MVP has been in and out of the lineup over the last few weeks because of left hamstring tendinopathy. However, he was on the floor for Sunday's loss to the Knicks and finished with 28 points, 15 rebounds, eight assists, and two blocks. With Milwaukee in danger of sliding down the Eastern Conference standings, Antetokounmpo will likely suit up for the must-win contest. But if he can't play, Khris Middleton (quad) and Damian Lillard will be locks for all DFS lineups. Bobby Portis could also see a surge in fantasy production if Antetokounmpo isn't available.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) will play on Sunday against the Knicks. He didn't suit up for Milwaukee's previous contest against the Toronto Raptors due to his nagging hamstring issue. But the Bucks need every win they can get to keep a grasp on the No. 2 spot in the Eastern conference, so the multi-time MVP will be on the floor for a pivotal matchup with New York. Antetokounmpo's return will likely send Jae Crowder back to the bench, nearly eliminating all of his DFS upside. But as far as Antetokounmpo is concerned, he's averaged nearly a triple-double versus the Knicks this season, so he's worth rostering in all DFS contests.
