Eric Bledsoe (conditioning) ruled out for Bucks on Friday
Milwaukee Bucks guard Eric Bledsoe (conditioning) will not play on Friday against the Boston Celtics, per Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer.
What It Means:
Bledsoe is still working his way into playing shape after arriving late to the bubble due to a positive COVID-19 diagnosis. Pat Connaughton has also been ruled out for the same reason. Donte DiVincenzo should start and see extended run without Bledsoe. Look for Khris Middleton to also take on more work.
Per RotoGrinders, Middleton's usage rate rises 5.9 percent when Bledsoe is off the floor this season. DiVincenzo is averaging 8.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.0 3-pointers as a starter this season. He averages 37.2 FanDuel points per 36 minutes when Bledsoe isn't playing.
