Giannis Antetokounmpo

Antetokounmpo finished with 30 points (14-26 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-6 FT), 10 rebounds and six assists over 39 minutes during Monday's 119-108 loss to Boston.

While Antetokounmpo had some issues on Monday, his playing the second game of a back-to-back despite dealing with right patella tendinitis outweighed that. In addition to his poor night at the foul line, he committed seven turnovers. Giannis does enough in the main categories to compensate for those deficiencies, which are standard features of his game at this stage in his career.

Unsurprisingly, Giannis will play through the knee issue, as he has in every game this season. The Bucks haven't gotten off to the best start to the season, so they'll need him at his best to have a chance to defeat the defending champs on the road.

Antetokounmpo (knee) is available for Monday's game against the Celtics, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
