Fri Apr 5 | 18:53 | Giannis Antetokounmpo Out On Friday |
Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) will miss Friday's contest against Toronto. The former MVP has battled through a hamstring issue lately but will take the night off on Friday after being initially listed as questionable for the game. Both Khris Middleton (ankle) and Damian Lillard (groin) return on Friday and should run Milwaukee's offense, with Bobby Portis also carrying extra fantasy value. This is a juicy matchup for the healthy Bucks, as Toronto struggles badly on the defensive end but plays with a fast pace. |

Thu Apr 4 | 20:40 | Giannis Antetokounmpo Questionable For Friday |
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. The two-time NBA MVP has appeared on the injury report in recent games because of left hamstring tendinopathy. However, he has continued to take the court. Antetokounmpo has suited up in seven consecutive games, playing over 30 minutes in each contest. He has not appeared to be limited by his injury, as he continues to deliver elite production. Since he has a questionable designation, fantasy managers will want to check back on Friday to confirm his playing status. |

Wed Apr 3 | 18:35 | Giannis Antetokounmpo Good To Go On Wednesday |
Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) will play against Memphis on Wednesday. Milwaukee finishes off a back-to-back, and Giannis has been upgraded from probable to available. The team is going to need a monster shift from him, with Damian Lillard (groin) and Khris Middleton (ankle) out of the lineup. Additionally, Malik Beasley and Bobby Portis should play a larger part on offense, with two of Milwaukee's three top scorers sitting out the contest. |

Mon Apr 1 | 23:00 | Giannis Antetokounmpo Likely To Face Washington |
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is expected to play on Tuesday versus the Wizards. The multi-time MVP is making another appearance on the league's official injury report. However, this isn't anything new. But considering Milwaukee wants to keep a firm grasp on the No. 2 spot in the Eastern Conference, Antetokounmpo should continue to suit up. At any rate, he's averaged 36.5 points, 11.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 2.0 steals in two meetings with Washington during the 2023-24 campaign, putting him on the map for DFS participants. Yet, with Damian Lillard (groin) sidelined, those numbers could be even better. |

Fri Mar 29 | 20:15 | Giannis Antetokounmpo Probable For Saturday |
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is expected to suit up for Saturday's game against Atlanta. The multi-time MVP remains on the injury report because of left hamstring tendinopathy. While the ailment cost him a few games, he's been available for Milwaukee's previous four contests, most recently logging 39 minutes in the loss to the Pelicans on Friday. He played well in that one, scoring a game-high 35 points and 14 rebounds, meaning the injury shouldn't discourage DFS managers from getting him in their lineups. |

Wed Mar 27 | 18:45 | Giannis Antetokounmpo Expected To Face The Pelicans |
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is expected to play on Thursday in New Orleans. The multi-time MVP has been plagued by left hamstring tendinopathy over the last few weeks. However, the injury appears to be getting better, considering he logged 46 minutes in Tuesday's double-overtime loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. But Milwaukee has a few relatively easy matchups on the horizon, meaning he may get a night off heading toward the postseason. With that in mind, Antetokounmpo amassed 30 points, 12 boards, and two blocks against the Pelicans the first time these clubs met earlier in the season, keeping him on the radar for DFS managers on Thursday night. |

Tue Mar 26 | 09:59 | Giannis Antetokounmpo Probable For Clash Against Lakers |
Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is expected to take the court in Tuesday's mouth-watering matchup against the Lakers. The team has listed him as probable ahead of the tilt. Antetokounmpo has played in two consecutive games since returning from a hamstring injury. He almost had a 30-20 game last time out against the Thunder, so it's safe to assume the former MVP is feeling 100 percent or at least close to it, and we should witness another spectacular performance from him on Tuesday. The Bucks superstar erupted for 34 points, 14 rebounds, and 12 assists in this season's first meeting with the Lakers earlier in the month. |

Sun Mar 24 | 18:12 | Giannis Antetokounmpo Available Against OKC |
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is officially active for Sunday's battle with the Oklahoma City Thunder. The multi-time MVP recently missed two games because of a hamstring issue. But he returned for Thursday's win over the Nets, finishing with 21 points. OKC is one of the best teams in the National Basketball Association, which should negatively impact Antetokounmpo's production. However, he's still a must-start in any fantasy setup. |

Sat Mar 23 | 19:23 | Giannis Antetokounmpo Probable For Sunday |
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is expected to play on Sunday versus OKC. He missed two games recently because of left hamstring tendinopathy. But the multi-time MVP was back in the lineup for Thursday's win over the Brooklyn Nets. However, Antetokounmpo amassed 21 points, one of his lowest scoring outputs of the 2023-24 campaign. That said, fantasy managers should always keep Antetokounmpo on the radar. But Oklahoma City has held its own defending the paint this season, so he could be in store for another below-average showing. |

Thu Mar 21 | 19:01 | Giannis Antetokounmpo Returns On Thursday |
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) has been cleared to play ahead of Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The superstar forward will make his return to the court after missing each of the last two games due to a hamstring injury. He should slide back into the starting five and have his normal role on Thursday. Fellow forward Khris Middleton (ankle) is sitting out on Thursday, which could mean a slight boost for Antetokounmpo. Fantasy managers should make sure to double check their lineups ahead of tip-off. |

Wed Mar 20 | 09:49 | Giannis Antetokounmpo Ruled Out For Clash With Boston |
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. |

Tue Mar 19 | 19:51 | Giannis Antetokounmpo Officially Questionable For Wednesday |
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. |

Tue Mar 19 | 15:28 | Giannis Antetokounmpo Puts In Light Practice Session |
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. |

Sun Mar 17 | 12:29 | Giannis Antetokounmpo Out Versus Phoenix |
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. |

Sat Mar 16 | 18:37 | Giannis Antetokounmpo Uncertain To Play Against Suns |
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. |

Thu Mar 14 | 18:42 | Giannis Antetokounmpo Officially Active On Thursday |
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is cleared to play in Thursday's meeting with Philadelphia. He was upgraded to probable, so many had already assumed he'd be good to go. However, despite warming up, head coach Doc Rivers wouldn't comment on the multi-time MVP's availability. Of course, Antetokounmpo is always a must-start fantasy option. But with Khris Middleton (ankle) still sidelined, there's potential for even more production. |

Thu Mar 14 | 18:31 | Giannis Antetokounmpo Warming Up, Not Cleared To Play Yet |
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) remains probable for Thursday's matchup with Philadelphia. He is warming up. However, head coach Doc Rivers hasn't revealed if the multi-time MVP is cleared for action. Antetokounmpo is routinely on the injury report. But his latest issue, a hamstring strain, is something new. Still, he's only missed three games this season, which has been a plus for fantasy managers. At any rate, if the 29-year-old isn't available, Bobby Portis would be a lock for all fantasy lineups. Of course, Damian Lillard would presumably see an increase in fantasy production without Antetokounmpo on the floor. |

Thu Mar 14 | 15:04 | Giannis Antetokounmpo Probable Against 76ers |
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is now listed as probable for Thursday's game versus the Philadelphia 76ers. Experiencing soreness in his left hamstring, Antetokounmpo is a late addition to the injury report but expected to play. Over nine contests since returning from the All-Star break, the 29-year-old two-time MVP is piling up 30.9 points on 61.0% shooting from the field, 11.1 rebounds, 6.4 assists, and 1.0 three-pointers per game. |

Tue Mar 12 | 20:53 | Giannis Antetokounmpo Listed As Probable Tuesday |
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is probable for Tuesday's matchup against the Sacramento Kings. Despite playing in most games, the multi-time MVP always seems to be on the injury report. Antetokounmpo was also listed as probable ahead of Sunday's win over the Clippers, in which he started and was on the court for 39 minutes. Should he not be cleared to play against the Kings, Patrick Beverley and Pat Connaughton may get some extra minutes. However, the 29-year-old starter has hardly missed any time, and he should always be a starter in fantasy play. |

Sun Mar 10 | 14:02 | Giannis Antetokounmpo Playing On Sunday |
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) received the green light to play on Sunday against the Clippers. The multi-time MVP is seemingly always on the injury report. However, he hasn't missed much time this season. He did sit out recently because of Achilles soreness. But Antetokounmpo's right knee issue isn't enough to keep him off the floor versus Los Angeles. As always, fantasy managers should keep him starting, even though he could see fewer minutes than usual if the score gets out of hand, considering the Clippers won't have Kawhi Leonard (groin) and Paul George (knee). |
