Antetokounmpo continues a dynamic stretch on both ends of the floor, grabbing six or more rebounds and scoring 21 or more points in each of his last five games. The superstar forward remains an elite lineup option in all formats while leading a revamped Milwaukee starting five, averaging 29.2 points, 5.5 assists, and 9.8 rebounds per game while carrying a usage rate of 36.1% so far this season.

Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 34 points (15-22 FG, 2-4 3P, 2-7 FT), with 10 rebounds and five assists in the Bucks’ 120-113 loss to the Warriors.

Fantasy Impact

Antetokounmpo did his best to get the Bucks the win in this one, but to no avail. Milwaukee simply didn’t have the scoring output needed against the Warriors despite having six players in double digits and hitting 44% of their threes. It’s a tough break for Giannis, and it certainly adds fuel to the fire for Milwaukee to do something that changes their current situation.

Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is expected to play in Sunday night's game against the Sacramento Kings.

Fantasy Impact

Antetokounmpo is listed on Milwaukee's injury report due to a calf injury, although it isn't a serious issue and he is expected to play through it against the Kings. Fantasy managers should continue to have high expectations for him for as long as he remains healthy and on the court for the Bucks.

Giannis Antetokounmpo capped his 30-point double-double (11-of-18 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs, 10 rebounds, five assists, one steal) with a game-winning alley-oop slam with five seconds remaining as Milwaukee edged Charlotte 122-121 on Friday. The finish-at-the-rim heroics came in just 29 minutes of action.

Fantasy Impact

The 31-year-old has scored at least 24 points in four straight games since returning from injury last week, with back-to-back double-doubles in his last two outings. Antetokounmpo operated exclusively inside the arc Friday, converting 61 percent of his 18 attempts while going a perfect 8-for-8 from the free-throw line.

Giannis Antetokounmpo surfaced as a very late addition to the injury report but carries a probable designation for Friday's game against Charlotte due to injury management.

Fantasy Impact

The late probable tag is an unusual development given this isn't a back-to-back set for Milwaukee, but fantasy managers can expect Antetokounmpo to be available against the Hornets despite the unexpected injury report appearance.
