Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) won't play Saturday versus Knicks
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo will not play in Saturday's game against the New York Knicks.
What It Means:
Antetokounmpo is dealing with some ankle soreness so he'll rest ahead of the postseason here. The Bucks are in a good spot to land the 7 seed and face the depleted Boston Celtics. In his stead, Eric Bledsoe and Khris Middleton will see more shots as guys like Tony Snell and Jabari Parker play more minutes in place of Giannis.
Prior to being ruled out, Antetokounmpo was projected for 52.1 FanDuel points for tonight's game.
