Is Giannis Antetokounmpo playing tonight against Cleveland Cavaliers? Latest on former DPOY's status (Nov. 4) 

Giannis Antetokounmpo is ruled out against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday. The Milwaukee Bucks superstar was on the injury report again with a questionable tag, citing a right adductor strain. It's different from his previous injury, which was a right patella tendinitis. Gannis was probable in the past six games.

The Bucks have dropped to 1-5 after the Cavaliers handed them a 114-113 loss Saturday. Milwaukee led by 16 points at one stage, but the Cavs stormed back to win the contest. Giannis had a near triple-double, tallying 34 points, 16 rebounds and nine assists on 55.6% shooting, but even that couldn't help the Bucks get over the hump.

Potentially missing Giannis is all but likely guaranteeing a sixth consecutive loss for Doc Rivers' team. They don't have the firepower outside him and Damian Lillard to keep the ship afloat, especially with Khris Middleton's season debut getting delayed again.

The Bucks will hope they can have another efficient outing from their superstar if he plays, as that remains the only way for them to break out of their losing streak and get back to winning ways.
