Milwaukee Bucks DFS Spin
Giannis Antetokounmpo (left knee soreness) is probable for Monday’s game against the Hawks. Saturday’s game against the Thunder was the second in as many nights for the Bucks, so Antetokounmpo was given the night off. His expected return on Monday means that Bobby Portis moves back to the second unit. Portis will take a hit minutes-wise, but he remains a player worth rostering in all but the shallowest fantasy leagues.
Atlanta Hawks DFS Spin
Trae Young (right shin soreness) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Bucks. Young was able to play through an eye issue during Saturday’s overtime win over the Pelicans, and now he has another health issue to deal with. If Ice Trae cannot go, the Hawks should be fine, as they can use Dejounte Murray as the sole point guard. Justin Holiday may be the player most likely to fill the resulting void if Young has to sit Monday night.
