Milwaukee Bucks injury report (Nov. 18): Latest on Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard's availability vs. Houston Rockets

The struggling Milwaukee Bucks will lock horns against the Houston Rockets on Monday in one of eight NBA regular season games on the schedule. Under coach Doc Rivers, the Bucks have endured a tough start to the season, currently sitting in 12th place in the Eastern Conference standings with a disappointing 4-9 record.

Milwaukee is coming off a heartbreaking 115-114 loss to the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday and is in dire need of stringing together some wins to climb the standings. The responsibility to turn things around largely rests on the shoulders of their two superstars, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard.

However, both players' availability for the matchup remains uncertain, as they are listed on the team's injury report.

Giannis, a two-time league MVP, is availbale to play after being listed as "probable" with right patella tendinopathy. The Greek superstar has missed just one of Milwaukee's 13 games this season.

Lillard is also available to play after being listed as "probable" as he remained in concussion protocol after sustaining a head injury during the game against the Boston Celtics. Lillard has missed the Bucks' last three games, but will play tonight.

Additionally, Khris Middleton, who has yet to make his season debut, will remain sidelined as he recovers from bilateral ankle surgery. Ryan Rollins is also out due to a right shoulder injury.
