Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) returning for Bucks on Thursday
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo will suit up Thursday in the team's game against the Atlanta Hawks.
What It Means:
The two-time reigning MVP is making his return to the court following a six-game absence due to a knee injury. There's been no word of a potential minutes restriction for Antetokounmpo. In any case, expect him to return to the starting lineup in his first game back. Bobby Portis could revert to a bench role with Antetokounmpo's return.
Our models project Antetokounmpo for 28.4 points, 11.4 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 55.0 FanDuel points across 34.0 minutes of action.
