Memphis Grizzlies DFS Notes
Desmond Bane has entered the NBA’s health and safety protocols list and will not play Wednesday night against the Bucks. With Bane expected to miss a few games, Konchar and Melton will be counted on to play more minutes. Kyle Anderson is also out on the protocol list.
Milwaukee Bucks DFS Notes
Giannis Antetokounmpo turned in 27 points, six rebounds, six assists, one steal and a block as Milwaukee gave up a late lead and lost to Atlanta on Monday. The points were Giannis’ fewest since Dec. 13, and he finished this one as a minus-17 in the box score, the lowest of any starter. Most glaring was Giannis’ lack of scoring at the end of the game. Over the final seven minutes of the contest, Atlanta outscored Milwaukee 32-15, and Giannis went nearly six minutes without a bucket in that span. He’s enjoying an MVP caliber season despite the Bucks recent troubles, and a “down game” for him is still an elite performance for most.
