Antetokounmpo (calf) totaled 19 points (7-18 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one block across 25 minutes during Monday's 108-81 loss to Boston.

Making his return following a five-plus-week absence due to a right calf strain, Antetokounmpo hit the ground running, recording a double-double despite not playing the entire second half of the fourth quarter. Unfortunately for the Bucks, Antetokounmpo's return wasn't enough to keep the team competitive with the Celtics, who cruised to an easy win despite being without Jaylen Brown (illness), Neemias Queta (rest) and Jayson Tatum (Achilles). Antetokounmpo could have his minutes monitored for at least a few more games, but fantasy managers who held off activating him Monday shouldn't have any qualms about doing so moving forward.
