Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo had a great bounce-back game Sunday against Philadelphia, providing a game-high 33 points on 13-for-17 shooting and adding 14 rebounds in a comfortable 117-104 victory. Giannis and the Bucks had a point to prove here after taking a 41-point hammering in their last outing against Boston. In 32 minutes of playing time, the Bucks leader also put in plenty of work in other areas, notching six assists with one steal and three blocks. Antetokounmpo hasn't really been in the MVP conversations this season, but his numbers certainly are worthy of it, with the Greek superstar putting up 31.1 points, 11.8 rebounds and 5.6 assists while leading his team to the best record in the league.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo collected a huge stat line as they blew out the Indiana Pacers by a score of 149-136. There wasn't much defense played in this game, but the former MVP registered 38 points, 17 rebounds, 12 assists, and one steal while only missing four of his 18 shots. He also converted on 10 of his 14 free throws. Fantasy managers are trying to get as much out of Antetokounmpo as they can, just in case they shut him down in the last few games after the first seed is secured.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is expected to play on Wednesday against Indiana. Knee soreness has been a thing for the former MVP in the last few years, so fantasy managers weren't alarmed when he didn't suit up on Monday in Detroit. As a result, Bobby Portis got the start and finished with 21 points and 14 rebounds. Assuming Antetokounmpo is in the lineup on Wednesday, Portis will head back to the bench. However, the Bucks are looking toward the postseason, so there's a chance none of Milwaukee's key players will see a full workload versus one of the worst teams in the league.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. It appears the 28-year-old superstar is dealing with a minor knee issue, so the team is going take the cautious approach here. The Bucks should be fine without Antetokounmpo against the tanking Pistons. His absence should open up more reponsibility for Khris Middleton. Also, Bobby Portis and Brook Lopez will be asked to play bigger roles on Monday.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is expected to play on Monday against Detroit. It wouldn't be an injury report without him on it because of some type of knee issue. But barring a setback, he should be good to go. The multi-time MVP has averaged 30.7 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks in three meetings with Detroit this season. However, if the Bucks go up big, those numbers may drop if Antetokounmpo sits more than usual, which is a very real possibility.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo produced 31 points in Saturday's big matchup against Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets, shooting 13-for-22 from the field with a 5-for-7 mark at the line. He added nine rebounds, four assists and four steals, but the Greek Freak's efforts weren't enough, as the Bucks struggled with shooting all game and had to settle for a 129-106 loss. Antetokounmpo has upped his efficiency from the field to 61 percent this month and continues to be a nightmare for the opposition. He'll now face a couple of easy nights against Detroit and Indiana before seeing a pair of elite teams again in Boston and Philadelphia.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo shot a perfect 9-for-9 from the field and had a triple-double in Sunday's 118-111 win over Toronto. He put up 22 points, grabbed 13 rebounds, and delivered 10 assists. Defensively, Giannis contributed with two blocks. The former MVP has been a bit quiet on the offensive end in recent games, but his scoring average for the month still stands at 31.0 points. He has also recorded 10.6 rebounds and 7.1 assists with 1.1 blocks while boasting a 60.2 percent shooting efficiency.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo frustrated the entire Phoenix Suns organization as he got to the line at will and asserted his dominance in a 12-point victory on Tuesday. The superstar posted 36 points, 11 rebounds, eight assists, one steal, and one block on 11-for-23 shooting and 14-for-24 from the line. Hopefully, any of his fantasy managers didn't need a high free throw percentage to win any matchups. Antetokounmpo seems focused on trucking through any competition down the stretch to stay in the number-one spot in the East.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo made it back on the court Monday against Sacramento and returned with a monster performance, recording 46 points in 34 minutes with 12 rebounds, four assists and one steal. He made both of his attempts from deep and finished with 19-for-28 overall shooting from the field. Giannis' return from a three-game absence pushed Bobby Portis back to the bench and he had very little joy on Monday, settling for only three points and three rebounds. Milwaukee has another game scheduled for Tuesday, so Antetokounmpo won't have any time to cool off.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hand) has been ruled out for Thursday's meeting with Brooklyn. He was initially probable for the contest with a non-COVID illness and a knee issue, but Giannis has now hurt his right hand and it forces him to sit out a second consecutive game. His absence should result in another start for Bobby Portis, who has been getting 16.3 points and 10.7 rebounds as a member of the starting unit this season.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness) has been ruled out of Tuesday's contest against the Orlando Magic due to a non-COVID illness. The 28-year-old was able to play in their last game on Sunday when he registered 23 points, nine rebounds, 13 assists, and three blocks across 36 minutes. So, this seemingly comes as more of a rest day against a weaker opponent. While he's out, Bobby Portis and Joe Ingles will likely see more time and serve as the main streaming options while Jae Crowder may even see some more opportunities as well.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo logged his fourth triple-double of the season as the team defeated Washington on Sunday 117-111. He was stuck on 23 points, nine rebounds and 13 assists when the clock was running down at the end of the game and Giannis managed to complete his triple-double by rebounding his intentionally missed shot in the final seconds. The Bucks star finished with 6-for-12 shooting from the field and had an 11-for-15 record at the foul line. In 36 minutes of action, Antetokounmpo also racked up three blocks. He's an unstoppable force on most nights and proved it again on Sunday. His scoring number was a bit underwhelming, but Antetokounmpo made up for it with a season-high in the assists department.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo led his troops with 34 points on Saturday against Philadelphia but also committed seven turnovers and couldn't save the team from a 133-130 loss. He was an outstanding 16-for-18 at the free-throw line but could only hit 9-for-21 from the field and failed to make any of his three attempts from downtown. Antetokounmpo completed his line with 13 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block. Giannis continues to rack up the stats with ease, and he should be back to his efficient self again in the next matchup against Washington.

The former MVP registered 33 points, 15 rebounds, four assists, and one steal on 15-for-27 shooting overall and 1-for-2 from three. He put together that whole stat line while only playing 28 minutes after having issues with his wrist in the previous three games.

LeBron James Injury Update

James injured his right foot during the third quarter of Sunday's comeback win over the Dallas Mavericks. It was a tense few seconds after the multi-time MVP clutched his foot after suffering what was deemed a "non-contact injury." The concern grew to greater heights after he was overheard saying, "I heard a pop." Situations like this are never good, as many were concerned that an Achilles tear could be the culprit.https://twitter.com/FanDuelTV/status/1630602449227595777?s=20Yet, after James gathered himself, he tightened his shoe and finished the game, totaling 26 points, eight rebounds, one block, and one steal. Head coach Darvin Ham appeared optimistic while speaking postgame, stating the 38-year-old was "good."However, that couldn't be further from the case, with The Athletic's Shams Charania reporting that James would "miss an extended period of time" because of the foot injury. Charania later added that the all-time scoring leader would "require multiple opinions."https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1630363560051187712?s=20

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (quadriceps) won't play on Sunday afternoon versus the Phoenix Suns. He exited in the first quarter of Friday's game against the Miami Heat and didn't return, so fantasy managers had a feeling things were heading in this direction. That said, Bobby Portis will take his spot in the rotation. Portis has averaged 16.7 points, 11.0 rebounds, and shot 38.9% from deep in 14 starts this season, making him an ideal option in all fantasy formats.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (quadriceps) is not expected to suit up for Sunday's matinee with the visiting Phoenix Suns. He exited Friday's matchup against Miami in the first quarter after injuring his right knee and did not return. However, his official injury designation for this one is a right quad contusion. Regardless, the Multi-time MVP has been banged up all season, so he may be out longer than one game, meaning he won't play in Brooklyn on Tuesday night. Nevertheless, until Antetokounmpo is available, Bobby Portis will likely take his place in the lineup. Portis has averaged 16.7 points, 11.0 rebounds, and shot 38.9% from deep in 14 starts this season, making him a must-start in all formats. At the same time, he'll also be a popular DFS option on Sunday.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) won't return to Friday's matchup against the Miami Heat. The multi-time MVP was listed as doubtful heading into this one. However, his night is now over after injuring his right knee in the first quarter, finishing with four points, four rebounds, and four assists in six minutes. Considering his knees have bothered him all season, he may not be out there on Sunday against the visiting Phoenix Suns. In the meantime, Bobby Portis should absorb most of Antetokounmpo's minutes.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (wrist) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. The All-Star forward has been dealing with a wrist injury since before the All-Star break. The organization said Antetokounmpo has avoided serious damage, but is still dealing with a right wrist sprain. That being said, the Bucks might play it safe and have Antetokounmpo rest on Friday. His absence would mean expanded roles for Bobby Portis, Brook Lopez, and even Jae Crowder could see decent playing time. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Friday for another update.
