Wed Mar 616:08Giannis Antetokounmpo Trending In The Right Direction
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.

Tue Mar 521:57Giannis Antetokounmpo Questionable For Wednesday
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.

Mon Mar 418:29Giannis Antetokounmpo Now Out On Monday
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.

Sun Mar 317:50Giannis Antetokounmpo Could Miss Monday's Game
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (Achilles) is considered questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He erupted for 46/16/6/1/1 line during Friday's win, so possibly he suffered an injury during that game. The Bucks will likely wait and see how Antetokounmpo feels closer to tip-off before making a final decision. His absence would probably mean a spot start for Bobby Portis. A move to the starting unit would be good news for the fantasy value of Portis. Fantasy managers will need to check back on Monday for another update.

Fri Mar 121:15Giannis Antetokounmpo Will Play Against Chicago
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) will play on Friday against the Bulls. The 29-year-old is seemingly always on the injury report. However, he's only missed two games this season. Antetokounmpo has averaged 31.0 points, 12.3 rebounds, and 1.3 steals in three meetings with Chicago this season, making him a more appealing option for all fantasy lineups, including those participating in DFS contests.

Thu Feb 2917:37Giannis Antetokounmpo Available Against Hornets
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) has been upgraded to available for Thursday's meeting with the Charlotte Hornets. Antetokounmpo will play through patellar tendinitis in his right knee against the 15-43 Hornets, and he hasn't missed a game since Jan. 17. If this game gets out of hand, however, it should be noted that the Bucks could look to monitor the two-time MVP's minutes with the Chicago Bulls on tap for the second leg of a back-to-back on Friday. Over his last 10 games, Antetokounmpo is averaging 28.0 points on 64.4% shooting from the field, 10.0 boards, and 6.9 assists in 33.1 minutes and is obviously a set-and-forget fantasy play in season-long leagues. Thursday's spot against a Charlotte team allowing more DraftKings points to opposing power forwards than any other gives the Greek Freak serious upside to go off for a vintage performance if this contest stays competitive.

Antetokounmpo boasts impressive season averages of 30.7 points, 11.2 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game in 34.9 minutes.

Tue Feb 2706:52Giannis Antetokounmpo Listed As Probable For Tuesday
Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is listed as probable on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's encounter with Charlotte. Antetokounmpo has been a regular on the injury list with right knee patellar tendinitis, but the issue hasn't slowed him down in any way. The former MVP has played in 17 consecutive games, averaging 30.4 points, 9.8 rebounds, 7.8 assists, and 1.1 steals for the month. Antetokounmpo has been limited to 15.5 points against the Hornets this season, but that's only because both of the previous games have turned into ugly blowouts.

Mon Feb 2607:53Giannis Antetokounmpo Falls One Assist Short Of Triple-Double
Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo ran the show with 30 points, 12 rebounds, and nine assists in Sunday's 119-98 victory over Philadelphia. He added one block on the defensive end while finishing with 10-for-17 shooting from the field. Antetokounmpo also enjoyed an above-average performance at the foul line, hitting nine of 12 attempts. He was on the injury report with a right knee issue ahead of the game but came through 36 minutes of action just fine, although Antetokounmpo's efforts included six turnovers -- he has given away the ball more times just twice in 2023-24. Milwaukee has a back-to-back coming up later in the week, and Antetokounmpo's status must be monitored due to the knee issue.

Sun Feb 2512:40Giannis Antetokounmpo Good To Go Sunday
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) will play on Sunday versus Philadelphia. He was listed as probable, so there wasn't much concern regarding his availability. Of course, the multi-time MVP should always be included in every fantasy lineup imaginable. But he has underperformed against the 76ers throughout his career, so he could have a tough time hitting value in DFS setups.

Sat Feb 2419:05Giannis Antetokounmpo Expected To Face Philly
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is probable ahead of Sunday's matchup with Philadelphia. The multi-time MVP is constantly on the league's injury report, so fantasy managers likely aren't overly concerned. But if Antetokounmpo isn't on the floor versus the 76ers, Bobby Portis, Malik Beasley, and Jae Crowder could all see a significant bump on the scoring end. Of course, Damian Lillard would be the No. 1 option offensively, especially with Khris Middleton (ankle) still sidelined.

Fri Feb 2321:48Giannis Antetokounmpo Cleared To Play
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) has been cleared to play ahead of Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. As expected, the superstar forward will suit up after being listed as probable heading into this game. Antetokounmpo has been dealing with a banged up knee, but that shouldn't impact his performance. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable plugging Antetokounmpo back into their lineups on Friday.

Fri Feb 2311:20Giannis Antetokounmpo Listed As Probable Against Minnesota
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) remains on the injury report due to patellar tendinitis in his right knee, but he's still considered probable on Friday. The superstar big man played in the All-Star game with no issues and scored 23 points to help the East beat the West. He's also only missed two games so far this year and his last missed game was back on January 17. Since the hiring of Doc Rivers, the Bucks have fallen from the second seed to the third seed in the East and have gone 3-7 in their last 10 games. Antetokounmpo has been performing at a very high level this year but has to bring his teammates up to speed while they head down the stretch.

Mon Feb 1907:55Giannis Antetokounmpo Logs 23 Points In All-Star Game
Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo had 23 points in his eighth career All-Star appearance on Sunday. The former MVP did the damage with an 11-for-16 effort from the field while collecting seven rebounds and an assist. The Bucks star is shooting a career-high 61.6 percent from the field for the season and showed off his extreme efficiency again in Indianapolis. It's been another great year for Antetokounmpo, but with the Bucks struggling lately, he might even have to squeeze a bit more out of himself over the last couple of months to help the team secure a good seeding for a playoff run.

Fri Feb 1609:39Giannis Antetokounmpo Bags Double-Double In Loss
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo put up a big double-double in an effort to avoid losing to a short-handed Memphis Grizzlies team but ultimately fell short. The former MVP finished with 35 points, 12 assists, four rebounds, and one turnover while shooting 15-for-17 from the floor and 5-for-9 from the charity stripe. He was the only one of the starting five that efficiently scored. While Antetokounmpo only missed two shots, the rest of the starting five went 17-for-49. This was also a strange game in terms of the low rebounding numbers for Antetokounmpo compared to his season average of 11.2 per game. He remains one of the top fantasy options in the league though when removing free throw shooting.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is available for Thursday's game in Memphis. He was listed as probable, so there wasn't much concern from fantasy managers concerning his status for the Bucks' final game entering the All-Star break. This will be Antetokounmpo's first meeting versus the Grizzlies this season. But with Memphis listing 10 players on the injury report, the 29-year-old could have one of his most dominant performances of the 2023-24 campaign.

Thu Feb 1500:14Giannis Antetokounmpo Probable Versus Memphis
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is probable for Thursday's game versus Memphis. It's another appearance on the injury report for the multi-time MVP, although fantasy managers are used to this by now. He's averaged 30.7 points, 11.4 rebounds, and 5.3 assists this year. He's also playing at an elite level defensively, logging 1.4 steals and 1.1 blocks in his 53 appearances. Nonetheless, the Bucks shouldn't have any trouble with Memphis. With this in mind, Antetokounmpo could be on the bench more than usual if Milwaukee builds a decisive lead, ultimately impacting his fantasy potential.

Sun Feb 1123:53Giannis Antetokounmpo Expected To Play Against Nuggets
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) popped up on the injury report again but he's listed as probable to take on Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets on Monday night. The former MVP has spent plenty of time on the injury report this season but has only missed two games so far this year. The last time he had to sit out was January 17 and he's been racking up big games since then. Antetokounmpo is always a must-start caliber player as he averages a double-double to go along with 6.3 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1.1 blocks per game. Damian Lillard (ankle) is also listed as probable, so that should mean the offense will be firing on all cylinders.

Tue Feb 620:10Giannis Antetokounmpo Good To Go Versus Phoenix
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is available for Tuesday's game in Phoenix. The multi-time MVP made another appearance on the injury report heading into this one. However, that's not uncommon. He was also listed as probable, so he wasn't in real danger of missing the showdown versus Kevin Durant and the Suns. Antetokounmpo has played as well as expected throughout the 2023-24 campaign, averaging a career-high 31.3 points with 11.4 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1.1 blocks. Of course, he continues to struggle from behind the arc, draining just 25.6% of his tries. Still, he's a must-start in any fantasy format, although that's not news to anyone.

Sun Feb 420:02Giannis Antetokounmpo Available For Sunday's Game
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) will suit up for Sunday's game against the Utah Jazz. As expected, Antetokounmpo will play after being listed as probable coming into this game. The only reason there was any doubt about Antetokounmpo playing was the fact it is the second night of a back-to-back set. However, Antetokounmpo will start and resume his normal role in the rotation. Fantasy managers can feel safe plugging Antetokounmpo back into their lineups.
