Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) sitting out second leg of Bucks back-to-back
Milwaukee Bucks small forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) has been ruled out for Friday versus the Los Angeles Clippers.
What It Means:
The Bucks have ruled out Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton (wrist), Jrue Holiday (ankle), and Brook Lopez (conditioning) for the second leg of their back-to-back set. That should result in more minutes and opportunities for guys like Bobby Portis, Grayson Allen, Pat Connaughton, Wesley Matthews, and Jordan Nwora.
Portis is averaging 30.2 FanDuel points across nine games without Giannis this season. He has a $5,000 salary on Friday's 10-game slate.
