Giannis Antetokounmpo's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) won't play against Boston on Wednesday. He misses a second consecutive contest despite practicing the last couple of days. Bobby Portis is always a popular fantasy choice when Antetokounmpo sits, while Damian Lillard and Khris Middleton get more offensive responsibilities. Antetokounmpo won't have to wait long for his next opportunity to return, as Milwaukee also takes the court Thursday night against Brooklyn.

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.

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.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) won't suit up for Sunday's meeting with Phoenix. Head coach Doc Rivers said on Sunday morning that the multi-time MVP would likely be available. However, that's not the case, with Antetokounmpo getting the afternoon off before potentially returning for Wednesday's pivotal meeting with the Celtics. He hasn't missed much time this season, which is a plus for fantasy managers. Yet, the 29-year-old has battled numerous ailments over the last few weeks, including Achilles, knee, and hamstring issues. As a result, Antetokounmpo may get more time off in preparation for a deep postseason push. But as far as Sunday's game is concerned, Bobby Portis, who has averaged 20.7 points and 9.7 rebounds this season when Antetokounmpo isn't available, is a lock for DFS lineups.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) has received a questionable tag for their matchup against the Phoenix Suns on Monday. The superstar big man has appeared on the injury report a lot with this hamstring issue, but recently he was popping up as probable instead of questionable. There could be some more pain involved this time around, so fantasy managers will want to stay tuned for an update leading up to tip-off. If he's unable to give it a go, Brook Lopez will have to step up on defense while either Bobby Portis or Pat Connaughton would join the starting lineup. The last time Antetokounmpo had to miss a game, however, Patrick Beverley was the one to get the starting role.
