Giannis Antetokounmpo, nursing an ankle injury, sat in street clothes on the Milwaukee bench as he watched the suddenly-hot Portland Trail Blazers dominate his Bucks on Monday night. A day later, he’s back in Bucks’ rotation for a Tuesday meeting with the Indiana Pacers.
His return changes how bettors should go about this matchup. Fresh off of a Finals MVP award, Giannis is putting up numbers that are almost identical to his previous two seasons, and the Bucks are a threat to win anytime he steps onto the court.
But what about the others? Milwaukee is dealing with several injuries. It’ll be without Pat Connaughton, George Hill, Wes Matthews, Brook Lopez and DeAndre Bembry, who the Bucks are “closing in on signing.”
