Giannis Antetokounmpo NBA Player Props | Model Projections For Bucks Star’s Return

Giannis Antetokounmpo will return to the lineup for the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 4 of their series against the Miami Heat on Monday night.

The former NBA MVP had been sidelined for Games 2 and 3 due to a lower back contusion that also took him out for most of the first game of the series. Without Antetokounmpo's presence for approximately 92% of the action in the series thus far, the Heat have a 2-1 lead.

That means the pressure is all on Milwaukee, which came into this series as a -1200 favorite and now needs to win Game 4 to avoid an elimination game when the series returns to the Fiserv Forum.
