Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) ruled out Saturday for Bucks, Matthew Dellavedova will start
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) has been ruled out Saturday against the Charlotte Hornets.
What It Means:
It's the second night of a back to back for both teams, after playing in Milwaukee on Friday. However, the Bucks will play it safe with their franchise player experiencing knee soreness. Matthew Dellavedova will start for Antetokounmpo, while Khris Middleton and Eric Bledsoe will likely see a big boost in usage.
Antetokounmpo is averaging 56.0 FanDuel points per game this season.
