Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) questionable for Bucks on Friday
Milwaukee Bucks small forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) is questionable to play on Friday against the Denver Nuggets.
What It Means:
Antetokounmpo sat out Tuesday's game to tend to a shoulder issue that he's been dealing with for most of the past week. The Bucks are likely going to err on the extreme side of caution with the reigning league MVP, so it wouldn't be surprising if they hold him out again. Khris Middleton scored a career-high 51 points on Tuesday. Ersan Ilyasova made the start.
Giannis is averaging 56.9 FanDuel points per game. numberFire's models project him for 27.7 points, 9.6 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.4 steals, 1.1 blocks, and 1.3 3-pointers over the rest of the season.
