Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) ruled out for Bucks on Tuesday in Game 5
Milwaukee Bucks small forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) has been ruled out for Game 5 against the Miami Heat on Tuesday, reports Shams Charania of The Athletic.
What It Means:
Antetokounmpo aggravated his ankle injury in Game 4. Donte DiVincenzo started the second half in place of Antetokounmpo and is a candidate to start again. Khris Middleton figures to be the focal point of the offense after scoring 36 points with 8 rebounds and 8 assists last game. George Hill, Eric Bledsoe, and Pat Connaughton should all see additional minutes.
Middleton averaged 40.1 FanDuel points in nine games without Giannis this season. He put up 59.6 FanDuel points in Game 4 and costs $8,000 in Game 5. DiVincenzo ($4,500) averaged 24.2 FanDuel points without Giannis this season.
