Milwaukee Bucks: Reduce Giannis’ load

The Milwaukee Bucks find themselves in the final homecourt spot in the Eastern Conference, thanks to the stellar play of Greek phenom Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Giannis is averaging 29/10/5 in a staggering 38 minutes per contest. Winning is all well and good, but Jason Kidd has to be wary of burning out his star man.

Giannis leads the league in minutes per game, and although he’s shown no slowing down, that may very well change. It’s up to Jason Kidd to put trust in others to allow Giannis to be fresh come playoff time. Homecourt advantage will be worthless if the Greek Freak isn’t able to perform at the top of his game.
