Injuries are providing opportunities that once weren’t there across the NBA.
Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard went down earlier this week with deep vein thrombosis — also known as blood clots — in his right calf, sidelining him indefinitely.
Milwaukee is now scrambling to fill its already thin guard rotation around Giannis Antetokounmpo, and in its latest game, it turned to an unheralded 22-year-old guard out of Toledo.

Bucks vs. Hawks betting preview
Ryan Rollins logged a career-high 34 minutes for the Bucks against the Knicks on Friday night, dropping 20 points on 8-of-12 shooting.
Though he’s no Lillard, Rollins has proven he can take advantage of the opportunities when given them.
He has dropped at least 14 points in all three games when he’s played at least 30 minutes in his career, which he is likely to do Sunday against the Hawks.
Betting on the NBA?
He’s been surprisingly efficient with those extra opportunities too, shooting 59.3 percent overall and 50 percent from beyond the arc.
Rollins and the Bucks draw an Atlanta backcourt that is as flimsy as they come.
At 6-foot-4, Rollins will likely be guarded by Trae Young, who is one of the worst defenders in the league.
As a team, the Hawks are allowing the fourth-most points per game (119.4).
Rollins is in a perfect spot for a big performance on Sunday night.
THE PLAY: Ryan Rollins Over 14.5 points (+230, bet365)
