What It Means:

Matthews missed 10 games after the All-Star break with a calf injury, so he may have aggravated it in Game 1. The 36-year-old veteran logged 18 minutes in Game 1 and scored 6 points (2-4 field goals, 2-4 3-pointers) with 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 1 block. Joe Ingles and Jae Crowder should see a modest uptick in minutes on Wednesday, especially if Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) is out. Pat Connaughton could crack the rotation as well.

numberFire's models project Ingles ($3,800) for 18.0 minutes and 12.5 FanDuel points on Wednesday in Game 2 if Giannis is active. Crowder ($3,700) is projected for 16.2 minutes and 12.7 FanDuel points. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Bucks' implied total is 113.5 while the game total is the lowest of the day at 219.5.
