Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) on track Monday for Bucks

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) will return to the starting lineup Monday for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference First Round, barring any setbacks, reports Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium.

What It Means:

Antetokounmpo missed Games 2 and 3 with a lower back contusion after exiting Game 1 early. Bobby Portis will likely return to the second unit and there will be fewer minutes available for Pat Connaughton and Joe Ingles. There will also be fewer ball-handling opportunities for Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton.

numberFire's models project Giannis ($11,900) for 52.1 FanDuel points on Monday, second-most on the board behind Anthony Davis ($12,000) at 52.8 FanDuel points. Giannis scored 72.5 FanDuel points in 36.0 minutes on February 4 in his only complete game against the Heat this season.
