Milwaukee Bucks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (Achilles) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The superstar forward is back after a one-game absence. He almost played during their last game but decided to sit out after his Achilles started to bother him during pregame warmups. His return will push Patrick Beverley back to the second unit. Both Beverley and Bobby Portis will go back to their normal roles on Wednesday.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (Achilles) is still listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors, but he was on the floor after shootaround this morning putting up shots and reportedly looked to be in a good mood. After cutting his pregame routine short ahead of Monday's victory over the Los Angeles Clippers and missing the contest due to left Achilles tendinitis, Antetokounmpo appears to have a good chance at keeping his absence to a one-game minimum. Fantasy managers should deem him closer to probable than questionable against the Warriors, but the Bucks may not reveal the Greek Freak's official game status until closer to the 10:00 p.m. EST tip-off. That makes Antetokounmpo a risky DFS gamble where late swap may be unavailable.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (left Achilles tendinitis) is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Antetokounmpo missed his first game since mid-January in Monday's upset victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. The red-hot Bucks have listed Antetokounmpo on the injury report multiple times in recent weeks with lingering injuries, but the missed game created concern for the next few games. Damian Lillard's usage increases immensely in any games that Antetokounmpo misses, and power forward/center Bobby Portis is the biggest benefactor as an impressive frontcourt scorer and rebounder. Patrick Beverley and AJ Green received minute increases on Monday, and that trend should continue in any games missed by Antetokounmpo.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Pat Connaughton will move into the starting five ahead of Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Connaughton will be the lone change to the lineup with Giannis Antetokounmpo (Achilles) ruled out. A move to the starting five should give Connaughton a boost in fantasy value. However, Bobby Portis remains the better fantasy play despite coming off the bench during Monday's game.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (Achilles) won't play on Monday against the Clippers. The multi-time MVP was listed as questionable because of Achilles soreness. He attempted to go through pregame warmups. However, he cut things short, so it's apparent things didn't go well. At any rate, fantasy managers should expect Antetokounmpo to appear on the injury report heading into Wednesday's matchup in Golden State. In the meantime, Damian Lillard, Brook Lopez, Malik Beasley, and Jae Crowder could all see an uptick in fantasy production.
