Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) returns to Bucks practice
Milwaukee Bucks small forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (left knee) went through a full-contact practice and scrimmage on Wednesday.
Antetokounmpo will need to go through workouts and be cleared by the medical staff in order to play on Thursday against the Boston Celtics. He sat out the past two contests. Ersan Ilyasova and Donte DiVincenzo are both candidates to replace Antetokounmpo in the starting lineup. Khris Middleton would be in line for a boost.
Giannis is averaging 57.3 FanDuel points per game. numberFire's models project him for 26.2 points, 10.3 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.5 blocks, and 0.8 3-pointers over the rest of the season.
