Giannis tallies second triple-double of season

Benny Sieu-USA TODAY Sports

Giannis Antetokounmpo continues to dominate for the Milwaukee Bucks.

The 22-year-old phenom collected his second triple-double of the year in a win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday, tallying 15 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists, four rebounds, and two steals in a 115-107 victory. Antetokounmpo now joins All-NBA players Russell Westbrook, James Harden, and LeBron James as the only players to notch multiple triple-doubles this season.

With Antetokounmpo playing at an All-Star level, the Bucks have found a way to remain competitive despite losing starting shooting guard Khris Middleton prior to the beginning of the season. The Bucks sit fifth in the East following Wednesday's contest, showing they could become one of the scariest teams in the conference when Middleton eventually returns.

After collecting Player of the Week honors on Monday, Antetokounmpo has found a way to start hot over the last couple contests, making a strong case to win the award once again.
