Is Giannis Antetokounmpo playing tonight? Bucks vs. Cavs injury report

Giannis Antetokounmpo and Milwaukee The Bucks will look to bounce back from Saturday’s loss in a duel with the Los Angeles Lakers when they take on the Cleveland Cavs on Monday. After dealing with a lingering left knee injury, Antetokounmpo was listed as probable with the Bucks injury report.

Giannis finished with 32 points on 9-of-15 shooting, including 13-of-18 free throws, 10 rebounds and five assists against the Lakers. He will most likely play against the Cavs as the Bucks look to improve on their 8-6 record through 14 regular season games.

Averaging 32.6 points on 63% shooting, including 50% from deep, 11.3 rebounds, 7.1 assists and 1.3 blocks, Antetokounmpo is putting up MVP-caliber numbers for the Bucks. The team’s inconsistent attack around Giannis is starting to show. Kyle Kuzma’s impressive 29-point performance in a 147-134 overtime win against the Charlotte Hornets was canceled out by an eight-point game in a 111-100 loss to the Hornets and a one-point performance in Saturday’s loss to the Lakers.

Myles Turner scored three points on 1-for-4 shooting. Furthermore, the Bucks’ defense ranks in the bottom half of the NBA this season.

Zach Lowe suggests the Bucks trade for Anthony Davis

NBA analyst Zach Lowe believes that The Bucks should trade for Anthony Davis this seasonwhich would give All-Star Giannis Antetokounmpo the kind of support he needs to make a deep playoff run. Lowe suggested an interesting trade for the Bucks, which he is believes it would be best for both teams, he said on the Zack Lowe show.

“You can deal with (Kyle) Kuzma, plus Myles Turner, plus a first-round pick, for Anthony Davis. I’m just saying. The team is playing pretty well, and then again, whenever a team trades for Anthony Davis, you probably have to eat that extension … just, Giannis and AD? OK, I can go with that, NBA Court,” the former NBA Court said.

While his injury history plagued this season and the second half of last season, Davis is an ideal teammate for Antetokounmpo when healthy, and could be the difference between the Bucks reaching the playoffs and making a deep run to the NBA Finals.
