Giannis Antetokounmpo led all players with 34 points and 18 rebounds on Tuesday night against the Indiana Pacers, but still had to leave the court on the losing side as the Bucks were defeated 123-115. Milwaukee had
Damian Lillard back in the lineup, but he contributed only 14 points on 4-for-13 shooting, and the team continued to rely heavily on Antetokounmpo on the offensive end. He finished with 14-for-20 shooting from the field and went 6-for-10 with his free throws. Antetokounmpo also had seven assists and one block in the game. The Bucks are now 2-0 down in the first-round series, despite Antetokounmpo averaging 35.0 points and 15.0 rebounds. He will need more support in the upcoming home games.

Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) has been removed from the injury report before Saturday's playoff opener against the Indiana Pacers. The two-time MVP has battled several health issues during the campaign and missed the regular-season finale due to a minor shoulder problem. Antetokounmpo has been dominant against the Pacers throughout the year, averaging 30.0 points, 12.3 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 1.3 blocks, and 1.3 steals in the matchup. On Saturday, he is expected to maintain increased offensive usage, as
Damian Lillard (conditioning) remains out of the lineup.

Milwaukee Bucks forward
Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) is doubtful for Sunday's rematch against the Pistons. Milwaukee is locked into the No. 5 seed in the Eastern Conference, so the multi-time All-Star will likely sit this one out after producing a 32-point, 15-assist, 11-rebound triple-double in the win over Detroit on Friday night.
Bobby Portis (rest) and
Brook Lopez (rest) also won't suit up, so the team will lack size underneath the rim.
Kyle Kuzma (ankle) is probable, meaning there's a good chance he gets some action at the four and five spots.
Chris Livingston and
Pete Nance could also see plenty of minutes and scoring opportunities, especially with
Kevin Porter Jr. (wrist),
Taurean Prince (knee), and
Gary Trent Jr. (knee) doubtful.

Milwaukee Bucks forward
Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) will be available to play on Friday against the Detroit Pistons. Head coach Doc Rivers told reporters that the former MVP is suiting up and ready to go. These last two games against the Pistons are important for playoff seeding and the Bucks are still without
Damian Lillard (calf). Antetokounmpo will likely be a popular play in DFS lineups since he'll be the focal point of the team yet again.
