Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Will attempt to play Tuesday vs. Spurs

Antetokounmpo (illness) will play and start at point guard in Tuesday's game against the Spurs, Jabari Young of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Analysis:

After entering Tuesday with a probable designation following a one-game absence due to the illness, Antetokounmpo was downgraded to questionable following the Bucks' morning shootaround. The 22-year-old took the afternoon to recover, and appears he's made enough progress to give it a go. According to coach Jason Kidd, Antetokounmpo will be monitored over the first few minutes of the game, and if he seems to be lacking in energy, the Bucks will plan to shut him down. While Antetokounmpo has been one of the more explosive and consistent fantasy options out there, Kidd's plan brings some serious risks to playing Antetokounmpo in DFS contests, although season-long owners should go ahead and activate him.
