Giannis Antetokounmpo has been dealing with knee and calf issues, causing him to miss the last two games. He is officially questionable for Friday’s contest against the Atlanta Hawks with the calf issue.

If he’s unable to go, then Bobby Portis will likely get the start. On Wednesday, Portis played 32 minutes and produced 23 points, 17 rebounds, five assists, a steal and three blocks. In six total starts this season, Portis is averaging 21.5 points, 12.5 rebounds and 4.7 assists.

With Antetokounmpo off the court this season, Damian Lillard has seen a 6.9 percent usage rate increase with Portis at 4.86 percent.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
