Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) will play for Milwaukee in Game 1
MIlwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo has been cleared to play in the team's game against the Phoenix Suns, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
What It Means:
Antetokounmpo missed the last few games of the Eastern Conference Finals due to a hyperextended knee, but it seems as though he'll be good to go for Game 1 of the 2021 NBA Finals. Expect Bobby Portis to revert to a bench role with this news.
Our models project Antetokounmpo for 33.3 points, 13.2 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 62.7 FanDuel points across 39.3 minutes of action.
