Is Giannis Antetokounmpo Playing Tonight vs Hornets? Bucks Release Availability Update for 7ft Greek Freak

Giannis Antetokounmpo is on a mission to dominate the league this season. After an early exit in the last year’s playoffs, it seems Giannis has been unleashed. He definitely wants one more championship and is ready to win it no matter what.

Of all the scorers this season, Giannis is one of the best. He is handling Milwaukee’s offensive output single-handedly. The Bucks, without him, have been horrible at offense. Even in general their ranking is 23rd in the league.

They have managed to stay second in the Eastern Conference just because of their exceptional defense and Antetokounmpo’s domination. Tonight’s game will be crucial for them considering Giannis has been marked as probable.

The probable status suggests that Mike Budenholzer is confident his superstar forward can play tonight. That being said, the Bucks will cruise by fairly easily in their next game.

The Hornets have the worst records in the league. They are tied with the Houston Rockets at the bottom with the least number of wins and most losses.

This means that the Bucks will not face much of a contest tomorrow. Giannis, who is most likely playing, will wreak havoc on their defense which is ranked 25th in the league. It will also be an easy day for the Bucks’ defense because the Hornets have the worst-rated offense in the entire league.

Greek Freek’s stats this season

Giannis has been beyond exceptional this season. He has managed to put numbers comparable to Moses Malone. Currently, Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging 32.7 points and 12.1 rebounds per game.

In his last 8 games, however, the Greek star is averaging an impressive 39.1 points and 14.9 rebounds per game. These are MVP numbers. If he can register these numbers consistently, he is undeniably a certain MVP candidate.
