The Milwaukee Bucks will take on the Indiana Pacers tonight at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The Pacers registered a convincing win over the Bucks in game 1 of the playoff round. Thus, the onus will be on the Bucks to come back on level terms tonight. To refrain from going 0-2 down, the fans would be hoping to witness a standout performance from star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo again. The Nigerian notched a whopping 36 points the other day, yet it wasn't enough to carry the team to victory. In fact, they lost by a sizeable margin of 19 points. Giannis will be under the pump to bail the Bucks out. However, it should be noted that Giannis Antetokounmpo will not be able to make any impact if he does not play tonight. So, let's take a look at the Milwaukee Bucks injury report to figure out whether Giannis Antetokounmpo will play tonight or not.
Giannis Antetokounmpo Injury Report
Giannis Antetokounmpo is not listed in the injury report released by the Bucks ahead of the game against the Pacers. Thus, he will certainly start tonight. Antetokounmpo has been brilliant throughout the season, and he will be expected to deliver the exploits once again tonight, especially as the team is trailing and needs its premier player to fire on all the cylinders.
Giannis Antetokounmpo has been averaging 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, and 6.5 assists per game this season. Phenomenal is the word which could aptly define these figures.
