Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) expected back Wednesday for Bucks
Milwaukee Bucks small forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (right knee soreness) is probable for Wednesday versus the Indiana Pacers.
What It Means:
Antetokounmpo is set to return after sitting out Monday against the Detroit Pistons. The Bucks do have another matchup on Thursday versus the Boston Celtics, so they may want to hold Antetokounmpo out for half of the back-to-back. Bobby Portis will likely return to the Bucks' bench if Antetokounmpo is cleared, while Khris Middleton (injury management, questionable) and Brook Lopez will have smaller roles to play on offense.
numberFire's models project Giannis for 32.7 minutes and 54.2 FanDuel points on Wednesday. He averaged 55.9 FanDuel points in two previous games against the Pacers this season.
