Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) ruled out for Saturday's Game 3 contest
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) will not play in Saturday's Game 3 contest against the Miami Heat.
What It Means:
Antetokounmpo will miss his second straight game with a back injury. Expect Bobby Portis to play an increased offensive role versus a Heat defense ranked last in defensive rating among playoff teams.
Per Rotogrinders' Court IQ in 1268 minutes with Antetokounmpo off the floor this season, Portis is averaging 1.20 FanDuel points per minute and a 23.5% usage rate.
