Milwaukee Bucks injury report: Is Giannis playing? Starters, TV channel, odds
The Milwaukee Bucks may be without Giannis Antetokounmpo tonight for their game against the Orlando Magic at Fiserv Forum, as the star was downgraded to questionable to play with an illness on Saturday morning.
The Bucks have won four straight games and eight of their last nine to sit in third place in the Eastern Conference at 36-25. The battered Orlando Magic, led by Milwaukee native and head coach Jamahl Mosley, have lost five in a row and are 29-35.
Milwaukee plays Cleveland, the best team in the East, Sunday night.
Is Giannis playing?
The star has played eight straight games coming out of the all-star break and was initially probable to play as he’s managed the after-effects of a left calf strain suffered on Feb. 5. But, on Saturday morning Antetokounmpo was downgraded to questionable to play with an illness.
What is the Bucks record without Giannis?
6-6.
What channel is the Bucks game on?
The game is scheduled to tip-off at 7 p.m. and will be broadcast locally on FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin with Dave Koehn, former Marquette and Bucks player Wesley Matthews and Melanie Ricks on the call. Gabe Neitzel will fill in for Koehn on WTMJ Radio and the BMO Bucks Radio Network.
