5 years agoMilwaukee Bucks small/power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo will stay sidelined for Wednesday’s game versus the Indiana Pacers due to personal reasons. Ersan Ilyasova entered the starting five in his place Monday and once again figures to see increased DFS attention due to his upside when Antetokounmpo is unavailable. The absence marks the sixth of the year for the league’s reigning MVP, further paving the way for Khris Middleton and Eric Bledsoe to see additional shot attempts against a stout Pacers defensive unit. The next chance that Antetokounmpo has at returning to action comes after the All-Star break, as he should be in line for his myriad All-Star Weekend appearances.--Jesse Borek
