3 years agoMilwaukee Bucks power forward/center Sandro Mamukelashvili (illness) has been ruled out for the second straight game, giving the team limited frontcourt depth vs. Dallas. Mamukelashvili's absence Wednesday forced the Bucks to deploy a smaller lineup for most of the contest with DeMarcus Cousins and Thanasis Antetokounmpo holding down the center spot. Cousins played 28 minutes, but that significant of a minutes total on the second leg of a back-to-back seems unlikely, dampening his DFS appeal somewhat. Mamukelashvili played a career-best 42 minutes and dropped 17 points Saturday, but he remains a DFS-only option at this stage, primarily when Milwaukee is shorthanded. His next chance to suit up comes Saturday against the Celtics.--Jesse Borek
