The line seems to split the difference on whether he's out or not. I suspect it will move down towards 2/2.5 if he's announce in and may move up as high as 7.5 or 8 if he's announced out. Just speculation on my part. However, the following post with footage of his workout with Thon Maker at the Nike World Headquarters in Portland yesterday seems to indicate that he doesn't have any issues with the ankle currently...

Giannis Antetokounmpo Is Probable Against Trail Blazers
3/21:Giannis Antetokounmpo tweaked his right ankle in Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors, but said afterwards that it wasn't as bad as it looked. He had two full days to rest. Tonight the Milwaukee Bucks face off against the Portland Trail Blazers, who in the past five games, have given up the second-most points to power forwards in DFS. Antetokounmpo should be starting, so feel free to start the Greek Freak with confidence. We'll let you know before tip-off if the Bucks decide to sit him.--bernonjohn

Antetokounmpo is not listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against Portland, per the team's game notes.
Added 5:29 pm (EST)
Teams don't always abide by the game notes, so be sure to double-check Antetokounmpo's status before deploying him in a daily lineup, but at this point it appears he'll be available without limitation. Antetokounmpo tweaked his right ankle near the end of Saturday's loss to Golden State and did not return to the game. The Bucks have not commented on the injury since, and Antetokounmpo was working at full speed during the Bucks' shootaround Tuesday morning.
