Giannis Antetokounmpo ruled out for Bucks on Monday against Raptors
Milwaukee Bucks small forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (tooth) is out for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors.
What It Means:
The Bucks have decided to hold Antetokounmpo out on the front end of their back-to-back set. Ersan Ilyasova is a likely candidate to replace Antetokounmpo in the starting lineup. There will also be plenty more shots available for Khris Middleton, Eric Bledsoe, Brook Lopez, and Wesley Matthews.
Ilyasova has averaged 11.4 points and 1.8 3-pointers with 8.4 rebounds in eight starts this season. He costs $3,500 on FanDuel on Monday.
