Giannis Antetokounmpo had 37 points, eight rebounds and seven assists as the Milwaukee Bucks erased a 12-point halftime deficit and beat the New York Knicks 121-111 on Tuesday

Upgraded to available Anthony (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

Impact Unsurprisingly, the Bucks have upgraded Anthony from probable to available Tuesday. The guard should be able to handle a normal workload against New York. With Kevin Porter (ankle) sidelined, Milwaukee could have a hot-hand approach at point guard between Anthony and Ryan Rollins.

OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Upgraded to probable Tuesday Anthony (illness) has been upgraded to probable or Tuesday's game against New York.

Impact Anthony missed Sunday's game against Cleveland due to illness but is slated to return Tuesday. He will likely continue playing behind Ryan Rollins as the team's backup point guard, but will still see meaningful minutes.

OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Tuesday Anthony (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Porter (ankle) has already been ruled out for Tuesday's game, so if Anthony needs to join him on the sidelines, Ryan Rollins would likely be looking at another start. Check back for another update on Anthony closer to Tuesday's tip.

Won't play Sunday Anthony (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact Anthony was added to the injury report earlier Sunday due to an illness and will ultimately be sidelined. His absence will place more responsibility on Ryan Rollins at point guard and may increase the ball-handling duties for Giannis Antetokounmpo (toe).

OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy with illness Sunday Anthony (illness) is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Cavaliers.

Impact Anthony took on an expanded role in Friday's win over the Raptors, finishing with 23 points (9-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-7 FT), seven assists, four rebounds and two steals in 27 minutes. His playing time appeared poised to stay elevated with Kevin Porter (ankle) sidelined, but if Anthony is unable to go, Ryan Rollins will be tasked with handling the majority of the point guard duties.

Extended run vs. Toronto Anthony finished with 23 points (9-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-7 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 27 minutes during Friday's 122-116 victory over the Raptors.

Impact After logging just 12 minutes during Wednesday's win against the Wizards, Anthony saw his playing time jump to 27 minutes Friday, 11 of which came in the fourth quarter that coincided with Kyle Kuzma leaving the game due to an ankle injury. Anthony made his minutes count, dishing seven dimes while tallying nine of his 23 points in the fourth quarter to lead the bench in scoring and finished second on the Bucks behind Giannis Antetokounmpo (30). Ryan Rollins entered the starting lineup in the absence of Kevin Porter, and Anthony's minutes would be elevated against the Cavaliers on Sunday if Kuzma is not cleared to play.

Giannis Antetokounmpo had 31 points and 20 rebounds to help the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Toronto Raptors 122-116 on Friday night

Hands out five assists in win Anthony notched nine points (4-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists and one block in 12 minutes during Wednesday's 133-120 victory over the Wizards.

Impact Kevin Porter sprained his ankle after nine minutes of action Wednesday, which likely played a part in Anthony's role. Still, Anthony operated behind Ryan Rollins, who saw 29 minutes off the bench. If Porter is indeed facing an extended absence, Anthony would still be in play to step into a significant role from the second unit.

Impact Anthony is a capable scorer, but he doesn't often bring many other statistics to the stat sheet. He's an okay, late-round target in deep points leagues, but he's not the most attractive pick in category-based settings.

Won't return Monday Anthony received stitches for a chin laceration Monday and he will not return, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.

Impact This shouldn't be anything that impacts Anthony's status for the regular-season opener, but there's a chance he'll need to skip Thursday's exhibition versus Detroit. If he does need to hit the sidelines, Gary Harris could pick up some extra run.
