Giannis Antetokounmpo Listed As Probable For Game Against Pacers, Should Play Full Minutes

Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Pacers after missing Monday's game with left ankle soreness.

The two-time MVP rolled his left ankle last Thursday in a loss to Phoenix, but finished the game.

The ProBasketballDocs said last week that the star power forward could miss a short time after the mild inversion ankle sprain, depending on the swelling.

Antetokounmpo has had previous sprains in his left ankle, which makes the recovery quicker as there isn't as much ligament damage.

The ProBasketballDocs project that the 27-year-old will play his usual minutes and should be worth his $11,400 DFS salary on FanDuel.

He gets a matchup against a (19-39) Pacers team that traded away Domantas Sabonis and has Myles Turner out while recovering from a stress reaction in his foot.

The Bucks are notably thin at wing after losing Pat Connaughton to a broken hand. The team signed former Nets guard/forward DeAndre' Bembry to fill that roster hole.

Milwaukee's final game before the All-Star break comes Thursday against the 76ers on TNT.
