Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard ruled out of Game 5

MILWAUKEE -- The Milwaukee Bucks have ruled both Giannis Antetokounmpo (left calf strain) and Damian Lillard (right Achilles strain) out for Game 5 on Tuesday night against the Indiana Pacers.

Milwaukee trails 3-1 in the series and will face elimination on Tuesday without its top two scorers. Teams in the postseason missing their top-2 scorers from the regular season are 0-13, according to research by ESPN Stats & Information, including a Bucks loss in Game 4.

Antetokounmpo has not played in Milwaukee's first round series after he strained his left soleus muscle three weeks ago during a game against the Boston Celtics.
