Chicago Bulls DFS Notes
Lonzo Ball (left meniscus tear) will have a pause in his rehab and he won’t be running for the next 10 days. Billy Donovan said last Friday that Ball’s knee wasn’t responding well to rehab, and this is further confirmation of that, with Ball having to shut things down for the next few weeks. At this point, there’s no reason to hold him in re-draft leagues, as it’s unclear of Ball will even be available for Chicago’s postseason run. Coby White and Alex Caruso will continue to pick up the slack in his absence, with Caruso being the better fantasy option.
Milwaukee Bucks DFS Notes
Giannis Antetokounmpo (right knee soreness) is probable for Tuesday’s game vs. the Bulls. Antetokounmpo will be returning from his rest day tomorrow night, and it’ll be interesting to see if it’s Brook Lopez or Bobby Portis who heads to the second unit with the Greek Freak back in action. Serge Ibaka will likely fall from the rotation entirely, though.
