Giannis Antetokounmpo Struggles From the Charity Stripe in Loss
7 years agoMilwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo came into Wednesdays's game shooting 76 percent from the free throw line but was uncharacteristically bad against the surging Miami Heat. The emerging superstar connected on just 53 percent from the line, but he did get there 15 times. Nonetheless, he recorded his 21st double-double of the season with 22 points on 6-for-15 shooting from the field, 10 rebounds, six assists and turned it over only once. The Alphabet is having a career year and has been flirting with top-five value all season long.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Available On Sunday Night
1 day agoMilwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (foot) will play on Sunday versus Atlanta. It's common to see him listed on the Injury Report for one reason or another. But this time, he made an appearance due to a sprained left foot. Yet, it won't be enough to keep Antetokounmpo off the floor. With that said, the multi-time All-Star has averaged 29.7 points, 12.3 rebounds, 1.3 blocks, and 1.0 steals in three meetings with the Hawks this season. While he's always a must-start in any redraft format, his DFS value is higher on Sunday, especially with Damian Lillard (illness) sidelined.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Available Against Knicks
3 days agoMilwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (foot) will suit up for Friday's contest against the New York Knicks. The former MVP has battled a foot sprain lately and missed Wednesday's matchup against the Denver Nuggets. He was also at risk of missing Friday's game, but the team has upgraded Antetokounmpo's status from questionable to available. With Damian Lillard (calf) unavailable, the Bucks are heavily relying on Antetokounmpo, whose numbers have dropped this month. He has averaged 27.9 points and 11.5 rebounds in March.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Out Against Nuggets
5 days agoMilwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against the Denver Nuggets. The team has downgraded Antetokounmpo's status from questionable to out as a left foot sprain will keep him off the court for the first time since the All-Star break. Milwaukee is also without Damian Lillard (calf), which should lead to Kyle Kuzma, Gary Trent Jr., and Kevin Porter Jr. taking on larger roles. Antetokounmpo will have his first chance to return on Friday night against the New York Knicks.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Questionable For Wednesday
5 days agoMilwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (foot) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's tilt against the Denver Nuggets. After battling a knee and calf issue throughout the season, Antetokounmpo is now on the injury report due to a left foot sprain. He may exit the lineup following 18 consecutive appearances. Damian Lillard (calf) is already out, so the Bucks would be in big trouble if Antetokounmpo also won't be available. Kyle Kuzma and Gary Trent Jr. would need to contribute more on the offensive end. The latter may take Antetokounmpo's spot in the starting unit, with Kuzma moving over to the power forward position.
