Wed Mar 2718:45Giannis 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 2609:59Giannis 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 2418:12Giannis 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 2319:23Giannis 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 2119:01Giannis 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 2009:49Giannis 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 1919:51Giannis 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 1915:28Giannis 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 1712:29Giannis 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 1618:37Giannis 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 1418:42Giannis 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 1418:31Giannis 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.

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 1220:53Giannis 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 1014:02Giannis 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).

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is considered probable for Sunday afternoon's game against the Clippers. The 29-year-old didn't play the last time these clubs met because of Achilles soreness. However, that ailment is apparently in the past, considering he's now listed on the injury report because of knee soreness, which isn't unusual. As expected, Antetokounmpo is having a fantastic season, and he's recently coming off a 34-point, 14-rebound effort on Friday versus the Clippers.

Antetokounmpo has been dealing with a lingering Achilles issue for quite some time. However, he's usually able to play through the injury without any problems. If not, Patrick Beverley and Bobby Portis would see expanded roles. Fantasy managers will have to check back ahead of game-time for a final update.
