NBA Injury Report
MarJon Beauchamp (illness) is probable to play against New Orleans on Sunday.
Analysis: Beauchamp should be good to go, but his role is inconsistent. Beauchamp doesn't play enough for his status to impact fantasy basketball. |

AJ Green AJ Green (quad) ruled out again vs. New Orleans
Tue, Jan 21, 2025, 11:53 AM
NBA Injury Report
AJ Green (left quad strain) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Green will miss a second straight game with this quad injury, which will open up some extra reserve minutes on the perimeter. Gary Trent Jr. and Khris Middleton will both take on larger roles off the bench. |

Khris Middleton Khris Middleton (ankles) probable Wednesday
Tue, Jan 21, 2025, 11:41 AM
Khris Middleton (bilateral ankle injury management) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Middleton continues to show up on the injury report since returning from offseason ankle surgery. The 33-year-old small forward is listed as probable and should be able to play against the Pelicans Wednesday. Middleton's fantasy value won't take off until he moves back into the starting lineup and plays more than 25 minutes per game regularly. |
|
Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) probable Wednesday
Tue, Jan 21, 2025, 11:37 AM
Giannis Antetokounmpo (right patella tendonitis) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Antetokounmpo continues to show up on the injury report, but once again he's listed as probable with a knee injury. Fantasy managers can expect the 30-year-old power forward to suit up and play without limitations Wednesday against New Orleans. |

Khris Middleton Khris Middleton has 13/5/8 line in win over 76ers
Sun, Jan 19, 2025, 3:39 PM
Khris Middleton had 13 points (5-of-10 FGs), five rebounds, eight assists and one 3-pointer against the 76ers on Sunday.
Analysis: Middleton continues to play just 20-25 minutes off the bench, but he makes an impact while he's out there. The 33-year-old small forward has had at least 13 points and five assists in each of his last four games. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, it's unclear if Middleton will move into the starting lineup and see more playing time soon. |

Damian Lillard Damian Lillard has 25 points, 4 threes in win
Sun, Jan 19, 2025, 3:38 PM
Damian Lillard had 25 points (7-of-17 FGs), five rebounds, four assists, one steal and one 3-pointer against the 76ers on Sunday.
Analysis: Lillard now has at least 25 points in six of his last eight games. The 34-year-old point guard didn't have his best game Sunday with 25 points on 17 shots including going 4-of-11 from behind the 3-point line. Lillard was still able to pad his scoring total by getting to the foul line and making all seven of his free throw attempts. He's bounced back from a slow start to provide top-10 fantasy value on the season. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis Antetokounmpo has 34/15/6 line in win
Sun, Jan 19, 2025, 3:37 PM
Giannis Antetokounmpo had 34 points (13-of-17 FGs), 15 rebounds and six assists in the Bucks' 123-109 victory over the 76ers on Sunday.
Analysis: Giannis was just four assists shy of a triple-double in the 14-point victory over the 76ers. The 30-year-old power forward was highly efficient from the field as he made 13-of-17 field goals. The Greek Freak actually missed more free throws as he was just 8-of-14 from the foul line. The Bucks have three games next week, starting with the Pelicans Wednesday. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton available
Sun, Jan 19, 2025, 9:40 AM
NBA Injury Report
Giannis Antetokounmpo (right patella tendinitis) and Khris Middleton (bilateral ankle injury management) are available for Sunday's matchup with Philadelphia.
Analysis: Another game, another probable tag and a green light to take the court. Both players should handle their usual allotment of minutes, with Giannis starring in the first unit and Middleton providing a spark off the bench. |
|
MarJon Beauchamp Marjon Beauchamp (illness) probable Sunday vs. PHI
Sat, Jan 18, 2025, 10:47 AM
NBA Injury Report
Marjon Beauchamp (illness) is probable for Sunday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: Beauchamp is on track to be available Sunday after being inactive for Friday's win over the Raptors. The former first-round pick is not in the Bucks' rotation when healthy, so his status does not impact fantasy basketball. |
|
AJ Green AJ Green (quad) questionable Sunday vs. 76ers
Sat, Jan 18, 2025, 10:45 AM
NBA Injury Report
AJ Green (strained left quad) is questionable for Sunday's game against Philadelphia.
Analysis: While Green has carved out a consistent role within the Bucks' rotation, he hasn't been productive enough to merit being rostered in most fantasy leagues. If he cannot play on Sunday, that could be countered by Andre Jackson Jr. returning from a hip injury, with the second-year wing also considered questionable. The Bucks also have Gary Trent Jr. to absorb Green's minutes if he cannot play. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton probable
Sat, Jan 18, 2025, 10:32 AM
NBA Injury Report
Giannis Antetokounmpo (right patella tendinitis) and Khris Middleton (bilateral ankle injury management) are probable for Sunday's game against Philadelphia.
Analysis: Antetokounmpo and Middleton are still listed on the Bucks' pregame injury reports, but both should be cleared to play on Sunday. Giannis will start in his usual spot, with Middleton coming off the bench. Taurean Prince, who began the season as a starter, returned to that role after Middleton struggled to get into a groove offensively. |

Khris Middleton Khris Middleton has 13/3/5 line in win over TOR
Fri, Jan 17, 2025, 5:06 PM
Khris Middleton had 13 points (4-of-6 FGs), three rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block and two 3-pointers against the Raptors on Friday.
Analysis: Middleton had a solid game with 13 points on six shots, three rebounds and five assists while contributing defensively in 24 minutes off the bench. The frustrating part for fantasy managers is that the 33-year-old small forward's production is seriously limited when coming off the bench with minute totals in the low 20s. Watch for when Middleton moves back into the starting lineup if the Bucks choose to go in that direction. |
|
Damian Lillard Damian Lillard has 26 points, 4 threes in win
Fri, Jan 17, 2025, 5:04 PM
Damian Lillard had 26 points (6-of-14 FGs), three rebounds, eight assists, two steals, one block and four 3-pointers against the Raptors on Friday.
Analysis: Lillard was 6-of-14 from the floor including 4-of-7 from behind the 3-point line. The 34-year-old guard had no trouble getting to the foul line against the Raptors on Friday and made all 10 of his free throws. He's had at least 25 points in five of his last seven games as he continues to light up opposing defenses. Lillard has bounced back nicely with top-10 fantasy value this year. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis Antetokounmpo has 35/13/3 line in win
Fri, Jan 17, 2025, 5:02 PM
Giannis Antetokounmpo had 35 points (12-of-20 FGs), 13 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in the Bucks' 130-112 victory over the Raptors on Friday.
Analysis: Giannis dropped 35 points on 20 shots Friday against the Raptors. The Bucks cruised to an 18-point victory behind the Greek Freak, who led everyone in scoring. The 30-year-old power forward also made it a double-double with 13 rebounds. Giannis went 11-of-18 from the free throw line, which has been a problem for fantasy managers in 9-category leagues. The Bucks close out Week 12 with a matchup against the 76ers Sunday. |

Ryan Rollins MIL starting Dame, Rollins, Prince, Giannis, Lopez
Fri, Jan 17, 2025, 1:33 PM
Blake Murphy
Damian Lillard, Ryan Rollins, Taurean Prince, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Brook Lopez will start Fridat's game against Toronto.
Analysis: The Bucks are without Andre Jackson Jr., who injured his hip during Wednesday's win over the Magic. Rollins will fill the resulting void in the starting lineup, making him worthy of a look in deep leagues. Milwaukee's other four starters are unchanged. |
|
Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis, Middleton, Trent Jr. available Friday
Fri, Jan 17, 2025, 7:24 AM
NBA Injury Report
Giannis Antetokounmpo (right patella tendinopathy), Khris Middleton (bilateral ankle injury management) and Gary Trent Jr. (left hip flexor strain) are available for Friday's matchup with Toronto.
Analysis: All three players were given probable tags on Thursday, so confirmation of their availability shouldn't come as a surprise. Expect the trio to handle their typical workloads. |
|
Gary Trent Gary Trent Jr. (hip) probable Friday vs. Toronto
Thu, Jan 16, 2025, 11:17 AM
Milwaukee Bucks
Gary Trent Jr. (left hip flexor strain) is probable for Friday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: GTJ has missed their last three games, but he is expected to be back in the lineup for this game. Andre Jackson Jr. (hip) is questionable, and if he ends up being ruled out, there will be an open spot in the starting unit that will likely be filled by either Trent Jr., AJ Green or Khris Middleton, though there will be a few extra minutes for all three. |
|
Khris Middleton Khris Middleton (ankles) probable vs. Raptors
Thu, Jan 16, 2025, 11:16 AM
Milwaukee Bucks
Khris Middleton (bilateral ankle injury management) is probable to play against Toronto on Friday.
Analysis: Middleton should be good to go in this game, though his production has been limited since he moved to the bench. However, with Andre Jackson Jr. (hip) questionable, Middleton may get a chance to move into the starting lineup, or at least take on extra minutes. |
|
Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) probable vs. Toronto
Thu, Jan 16, 2025, 11:14 AM
Milwaukee Bucks
Giannis Antetokounmpo (right patella tendinopathy) is probable to play against the Raptors on Friday.
Analysis: Antetokounmpo is once again listed as probable, but he has been able to play in nine straight games. That trend should continue in this game, and he should be in for another dominant night statistically. |

Khris Middleton Khris Middleton tallies 14 points, six assists
Wed, Jan 15, 2025, 4:51 PM
Khris Middleton accounted for 14 points (5-of-8 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), two rebounds, six assists, and two steals in 21 minutes in Wednesday's blowout of the Magic.
Analysis: Back in the Bucks' rotation after sitting out Tuesday's win over the Kings, Middleton only played 21 minutes on Wednesday. The nature of the contest had much to do with that, as the Bucks held a 24-point lead going into the fourth quarter. Until Middleton gets to the point where he can provide reliable value in minutes and shot attempts, fantasy managers will have to make do with the increased assist production. Stay patient. |
