Milwaukee Bucks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

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.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (foot) is likely to play on Thursday against the Philadelphia 76ers, as the team lists him as probable on the injury report. Antetokounmpo missed a matchup against the Denver Nuggets last week, but this is his only absence since the All-Star break. The Bucks need wins on the board, and Antetokounmpo must play to get them, especially with Damian Lillard (calf) unavailable. Antetokounmpo has scored at least 30 points in each of his last five appearances, picking up three double-doubles during that stretch. Last time out against the Phoenix Suns, he reached a double-double with assists, finishing a 133-123 win with 37 points, five boards, 11 dimes, one block, and three steals.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (foot) will play against the Suns on Tuesday night. It's not uncommon to see the two-time MVP listed on the injury report. But as has been the case for most of the 2024-25 campaign, he was listed as probable, so fantasy managers expected to have him in the lineup. Antetokounmpo had 31 points, 10 rebounds, and five rebounds in his only matchup against Phoenix this season. However, he won't have to deal with Kevin Durant (ankle) and possibly Royce O'Neale (illness) this time around.

Milwaukee Bucks guard AJ Green (shoulder) is considered questionable for Tuesday's clash against the Phoenix Suns. He already sat out the previous game due to a shoulder sprain and may remain on the shelf Tuesday with the same issue. Green's absence frees up around 23 minutes of action for Milwaukee's other guards. Gary Trent Jr. saw nearly 30 minutes off the bench on Sunday against the Atlanta Hawks, finishing with 10 points, while Kevin Porter Jr. had a heater with 28 points in 23 minutes. Both players are likely to get plenty of burn again on Tuesday if Green does not return.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (foot) is probable to play on Tuesday against the Phoenix Suns. The Greek superstar remains on the injury report with a foot sprain, but he will likely suit up for Tuesday's contest. The injury does not appear to limit Antetokounmpo in any way, as he has notched 30-plus points in four consecutive outings. Antetokounmpo's scoring numbers dipped slightly in March, but his recent performances show that he has started to build up momentum again ahead of the postseason.
