OKLAHOMA CITY -- Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard and Khris Middleton won't be available for Milwaukee against Western Conference-leading Oklahoma City on Monday night, the Bucks' second game in two days.

The Bucks said Monday that Antetokounmpo, Lillard and Middleton wouldn't be playing at the Thunder. The Bucks are beginning a three-game trip one night after losing 132-119 at home to Memphis.

Antetokounmpo, a two-time MVP with nine straight All-Star Game selections, is dealing with right patella tendinopathy.

Lillard is out because of left groin soreness.

The Bucks are monitoring Middleton's workload after returning from offseason surgery to each of his ankles. Antetokounmpo, Lillard and Middleton played Sunday against the Grizzlies.

Antetokounmpo is ranked second in the NBA in scoring (31.8 points) and fifth in rebounding (12.2).

The Bucks also announced that forward Bobby Portis is doubtful and center Brook Lopez is questionable for the matchup with the Thunder. Lopez has back soreness.

Portis has sat out five straight games for personal reasons. Lopez played Sunday.
