Giannis is now questionable for tonight. Probably a sign that he's playing

Not sure where this came from.  There seem to be contradictory reports:

Just wrapped up at Bucks shootaround.

There has been no status change on Giannis Antetokounmpo.

He is still listed as doubtful (lower back contusion) for Game 2 on the Bucks’ injury report.

ESPN has that up on their main page for the game.  So I'm guessing it came from the league.

It makes more sense that Davis and LeBron are Probable.  Must just be a glitch in the ESPN game cast page.  Not sure where ESPN is getting this.  I don't think they were ever Doubtful.

I'd like to see MEM start Aldama instead of Tillman. Aldama can give MEM an offensive advantage as a stretch four vs Vanderbilt who is just a garbage man.

Tillman feels wasted in this matchup against Vanderbilt.

Today is a good example of why I laugh hysterically when someone like Moranis calls Davis a top ten player. In addition to the injuries he just disappears. Top day players don’t do that half the time Davis does. Heck even Lebron shows up at 38

I'm not watching.  Does it seem like the Lakers are satisfied with one win in Memphis and mailing it in a bit or are the Grizz giving it to them?
