Woj: Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) unavailable for Bucks in Game 1 Sunday
The Milwaukee Bucks will not have Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) available for Game 1 of their playoff series with the Indiana Pacers, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowksi.
What It Means:
Antetokounmpo is pushing to return as soon as possible while he deals with his calf injury, but will not be back in time for tonight's game against the Pacers. His absence should keep Bobby Portis locked into a strong role in Game 1.
Our model projects Portis, who has a $7,200 salary on FanDuel, to score 34.6 FanDuel points against the Pacers, with 17.2 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 1.7 assists.
