Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) starting for Game 1 Sunday; Bobby Portis to play off bench
The Milwaukee Bucks listed Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) in their starting lineup for the first game of their playoff series against the Miami Heat.
What It Means:
The Bucks held their starters out from the regular-season finale, but will bring their top players back into the fold as the playoffs begin. Antetokounmpo will take over from Bobby Portis, who is not listed in the starting five.
Our models project Antetokounmpo for 53.4 fantasy points off of 27.5 points, 11.7 rebounds, and 5.9 assists. FanDuel has set his salary at $12,000.
