Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo didn't play in his team's last game against the Minnesota Timberwolves over the weekend because of knee soreness. With this in mind, fans want to know: Is Giannis Antetokounmpo playing tonight vs. the Chicago Bulls?

Is Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo playing vs. Bulls

The answer appears to be, yes, Giannis Antetokounmpo plans to play tonight vs. the Bulls. The Greek Freak was listed as probable with that knee issue on Monday, and that hasn't changed on the injury report heading into Tuesday. Unless something freaky happens between now and tipoff, the Bucks will have their superstar in the lineup.

This is obviously a big plus after Milwaukee looked terrible without him against Minnesota. The Bucks are currently in the midst of a battle for seeding in the Eastern Conference, holding a 44-27 record. That's good for third in the Eastern Conference, but they're tied with the Philadelphia 76ers and just percentage points ahead of the Boston Celtics.

The Bulls are two games back of the Bucks in the standings. Milwaukee won the first two meetings of the season in close fashion, so winning Tuesday night's game would clinch the season series.

Unfortunately for the Bucks, they won't have Khris Middleton in the lineup because of a wrist injury. That will make this game a bit more difficult, but Milwaukee does have a major rest advantage after Chicago played Monday night against the Toronto Raptors.

So, when it comes to Giannis Antetokounmpo playing tonight against the Bulls, we should expect it.
