Off injury report for Tuesday
Antetokounmpo (calf) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Suns.
Analysis
Antetokounmpo sat out the second half of a back-to-back Sunday after recently returning from a right calf strain, but he's cleared to return to action for Tuesday's contest. Through three appearances since returning from the lengthy absence, the superstar is averaging 23.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.7 steals in 26.0 minutes per contest.

Won't play Sunday
Antetokounmpo (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Magic.
Analysis
Antetokounmpo will receive a rest day on the second leg of a back-to-back set, but he should be able to get back out there for Tuesday's game against the Suns. With Antetokounmpo out, expect more minutes for Bobby Portis and a larger usage rate for Ryan Rollins.

Stuffs stat sheet in win
Antetokounmpo supplied 27 points (9-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 9-15 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists and four steals across 27 minutes during Saturday's 113-99 win over the Jazz
Analysis
Antetokounmpo turned in an efficient performance from the field en route to a game-high 27 points, and he has reached the 20-point threshold in back-to-back outings. However, the two-time MVP struggled from the charity stripe yet again, and he has shot 13-for-23 from the free-throw line in his last two games. On a more positive note, he set a season high in steals and was one of three Bucks players to dish out at least eight assists. Antetokounmpo is still on a minutes restriction, and he has averaged 23.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.7 steals across 26.0 minutes per tilt in three March appearances following a 15-game absence due to a calf strain.

Paces Milwaukee in loss
Antetokounmpo contributed 24 points (10-15 FG, 4-8 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 26 minutes in Wednesday's 131-113 loss to the Hawks.
Analysis
Antetokounmpo led all players in scoring on efficient shooting from the field, though he struggled from the charity stripe. He was Milwaukee's only player to score more than 16 points as the Bucks lost their fourth consecutive contest. The two-time MVP saw just one more minute than he did in Monday's loss to Boston -- his return from a 15-game absence due to a right calf strain -- suggesting the Bucks will continue to slowly ease him back into game action. In two outings since the extended absence, he has totaled 43 points, 16 rebounds and six assists in 51 minutes.
