Antetokounmpo will suit up in his 10th consecutive contest during the second half of the Bucks' back-to-back set.

Antetokounmpo played on Saturday night, and while he put up great numbers, it came in the loss. The Greek Freak notched 37 points on 15-for-23 shooting from the field, 11 rebounds, four assists, and one steal over 35 minutes.

Antetokounmpo has five double-doubles and one triple-double over his last seven contests, a span in which he's been one of the most productive players in the league with averages of 28.8 points, 13.1 rebounds and 6.7 assists per contest.

The 30-year-old has been great all season long and should receive some MVP votes by the end of the season. In 50 games this season, he is averaging 30.9 points per game, 12.1 rebounds, 5.9 assists, and 1.2 steals while shooting 60.6 percent from the field in 33.9 minutes.
