Antetokounmpo (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Monday in the Bucks' 103-99 loss to the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Antetokounmpo had logged a combined 12 minutes over the previous two games for the shorthanded Bucks, with the appearances marking his first action since he exited the COVID-19 health and safety protocols Jan. 5. The Bucks were still without Jrue Holiday (ankle), Grayson Allen (COVID-19 protocols) and George Hill (COVID-19 protocols), but the returns of Pat Connaughton (COVID-19 protocols) and Donte DiVincenzo (ankle) were enough to bump Antetokounmpo out of the rotation.

Antetokounmpo (COVID-19 protocols) is available Wednesday against the Raptors, Stephen Watson of WISN12 News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Antetokounmpo hasn't appeared in the past three games, but that could change Wednesday with the Bucks down six players. In December, he averaged 3.7 points and 2.4 rebounds in 12.1 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

After one missed game, Antetokounmpo should be back in the fold for the extremely shorthanded Bucks. He saw 21 minutes in his most recent appearance. In four games where he's seen 20-plus minutes this season, he's averaged 6.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.8 steals.

Antetokounmpo (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Antetokounmpo will come off the bench Sunday against the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

In the continued absence of Brook Lopez (back), Antetokounmpo had started five of the last six games, but the Bucks will shake things up and start Bobby Portis alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo up front. Thanasis finished Friday's blowout loss to the Knicks with four points, three rebounds and two assists in 18 minutes.

Antetokounmpo closed with 10 points (5-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt), nine rebounds, three assists and three steals in 32 minutes during Sunday's 107-95 loss to the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

With the Bucks severely down on troops, Antetokounmpo made the most of his opportunity, turning in his best performance of the season. While his brother deservingly gets all the accolades, Antetokounmpo is at least beginning to carve out a meaningful role for the Bucks. Standard leagues are still more of a dream than reality but those in deeper formats should at least monitor the situation in Milwaukee moving forward.
