Khris Middleton, who's dealing with left wrist soreness, is out for Tuesday's matchup against the Chicago Bulls while Giannis Antetokounmpo is probable with right knee soreness.
Middleton's injury is new, while Antetokounmpo missed the Bucks' loss to the Timberwolves on Saturday with the same issue.
The ProBasketballDocs expect the lengthy two-time MVP to play his usual minutes in his return to action.
Middleton also shouldn't be out long since he's reportedly dealing with a wrist contusion.
The small forward's absence should open more minutes for Pat Connaughton ($4,500) and Jordan Nwora ($3,500).
Jrue Holiday ($8,100) and Grayson Allen ($3,900) will likely get more shot opportunities with Middleton out.
However the real impact will likely be to the Bucks defense with Middleton out.
Zach Lavine ($7,400) is questionable with lingering knee soreness, but the ProBasketballDocs expect him to play and see increased scoring chances along with DeMar DeRozan ($7,800).
The No. 3 seed Bucks are favored by 7.5-points at home over the No. 5 seed Bulls and the over/under is 233, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
