Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is not expected to be available for the start of the first round of the playoffs against the Indiana Pacers, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
Antetokounmpo is considered doubtful for at least Game 1 on Sunday, but the Bucks believe he could return later in the series. Bobby Portis will likely remain in the starting lineup for the start of the playoffs. Damian Lillard, Khris Middleton, and Patrick Beverley should also continue to see upticks in usage.
Portis averaged 27.3 minutes and 38.3 FanDuel points as a starter over the last three games of the regular season, with 17.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.3 steals, 1.0 blocks, and 1.7 three-pointers.
