Milwaukee Bucks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is questionable heading into Wednesday's game against Boston. The multi-time MVP was ruled out not long before the start of Sunday's win over the Phoenix Suns. He did practice Tuesday, albeit limited. Still, Antetokounmpo appears to be making progress. But if he can't return from his one-game absence, Bobby Portis would be a popular DFS option, especially after amassing 31 points, 10 boards, and three steals on Sunday. At the same time, Khris Middleton, coming off a 22-point effort in his first game back from a lengthy layoff, would gain more attention from fantasy managers. Of course, Damian Lillard would remain Milwaukee's top offensive option if Antetokounmpo isn't available.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) won't play on Tuesday against Houston. He misses a second consecutive contest after being initially regarded as questionable for the game. With the entire regular starting five out again on Tuesday, the stage is set for the likes of Justin Champagnie and Patrick Baldwin Jr. to shine once more, while Jordan Poole should be gunning from everywhere. He needed just 23 minutes of action last time out against Boston to produce 31 points.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) practiced Tuesday in a relatively light session, per head coach Doc Rivers. The Bucks play the Boston Celtics in a clash of two East powerhouses Wednesday night, where Antetokounmpo should be considered questionable to return from a one-game absence after missing Saturday's win over the Phoenix Sun due to tendinopathy in his left hamstring. Milwaukee will submit their official injury report later on Tuesday. Damian Lillard would shoulder the offensive load if the Greek Freak remains out, with Bobby Portis Jr. directly benefitting fantasy-wise. Across four games without Antetokounmpo this year, Portis is averaging 23.3 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.5 three-pointers, 1.8 assists, and 1.0 steals but faces a Celtics squad giving up the fewest fantasy points per game to opposing power forwards.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) is considered questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. Kuzma was forced to miss Sunday's game and is in danger of missing his second straight contest. Given the Wizards place in the standings, Kuzma seems more likely to sit out of this game. Washington doesn't have any incentive to play Kuzma at anything less than 100 percent healthy. Patrick Baldwin Jr. would likely move into the starting five if Kuzma is unable to play. Baldwin doesn't offer enough upside to warrant streaming in most fantasy formats.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) will sit out Sunday's contest against Boston. Kuzma had 11 points with five rebounds and four assists in 29 minutes against Chicago on Saturday but landed on the injury report with left shoulder soreness. He was initially listed as questionable for Sunday's game, but Wizards head coach Brian Keefe has now confirmed that Kuzma will miss the action. With Deni Avdija (knee) also out, this could turn into a Jordan Poole special on Sunday, while there will also be a lot of shots available to Corey Kispert.
