Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) now questionable Wednesday for Bucks
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) has been upgraded to questionable for Game 2 against the Miami Heat on Wednesday.
Antetokounmpo was listed as doubtful on the initial injury report after not being able to practice on Tuesday. He will likely wind up being a game-time decision for the 9:00 PM ET tip-off. Bobby Portis will likely start if Antetokounmpo is unavailable and there would be more opportunities for Jrue Holiday, Khris Middleton, and Brook Lopez on offense. Joe Ingles, Jae Crowder, and Pat Connaughton could also benefit from additional minutes.
numberFire's models project Giannis ($12,000) for 33.4 minutes and 50.1 FanDuel points on Wednesday in Game 2. He had 6 points (2-4 field goals, 2-4 free throws) and 3 rebounds in 10.8 minutes before leaving Game 1 early. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Bucks' implied total is 113.5 while the game total is the lowest of the day at 219.5.
