Gary Trent Gary Trent Jr. (illness) probable Sunday vs. DAL
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 12:57 PM
NBA Injury Report
Gary Trent Jr. (illness) is probable for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.
Analysis: Ruled out for Friday's loss to the Nuggets, Trent had fallen out of the Bucks' rotation before his illness. However, with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) out for at least four to six weeks, there may be room for Trent to offer some value. There's no need to add him to fantasy rosters right now. |

AJ Green AJ Green (illness) questionable Sunday vs. Dallas
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 12:49 PM
NBA Injury Report
AJ Green (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.
Analysis: Green did not play in Friday's loss to the Nuggets, which led to Gary Harris moving into the starting lineup and playing 28 minutes. Harris did not offer much production in that role, so there's no need to consider streaming him if Green remains out. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) to miss 4-6 weeks
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 2:04 AM
Shams Charania
Giannis Antetokounmpo told reporters he expects to miss four to six weeks with a right calf strain.
Analysis: While it's unclear when exactly Antetokounmpo suffered the injury during Friday night's loss to the Nuggets, the 31-year-old power forward didn't mince words in his postgame media availability. Antetokounmpo said he expects the MRI, which is scheduled for Saturday, to show that he popped something in his calf and that he won't return before the end of February at the earliest. While the injury is potentially devastating for fantasy managers, it also has major implications on the Bucks' playoff hopes. Milwaukee is currently two and a half games behind Atlanta for the 10th seed in the Eastern Conference and will have to find a way to tread water without their star player for at least the next month. |

Myles Turner Myles Turner blocks six shots Friday vs. Denver
Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 6:48 PM
Myles Turner tallied 17 points (7-of-12 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists, one steal, six blocks and one three-pointer in the loss to the Nuggets on Friday.
Analysis: Truner returned from a one-game absence and provided the Bucks with solid two-way production. In the loss, he scored efficiently inside the arc and was decent on the glass in his 29 minutes of game action. But his biggest impact came on the defensive end, where he set a new season-high in blocks and tallied more in this one game than he had combined throughout January. Turner's debut season in Milwaukee has been up-and-down, but perhaps this will be the game to jumpstart the rest of his campaign. |

Ryan Rollins Ryan Rollins scores 21 points in loss to Nuggets
Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 6:40 PM
Ryan Rollins added 21 points (8-of-20 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), four rebounds, one assist, three steals and four three-pointers in the loss to the Nuggets on Friday.
Analysis: Rollins was one of the few Bucks players to produce consistently on the offensive end. He used the three-point shot to finish as one of two Bucks to reach 20 points, and led Milwaukee in steals on the other end. All of Rollins' offensive production came as a scorer, as he failed to make an impact as a facilitator. Nonetheless, it's presumable that he will put together good fantasy production moving forward while Kevin Porter Jr. (oblique) remains out. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis Antetokounmpo scores 22, exits with injury
Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 6:33 PM
Giannis Antetokounmpo tallied 22 points (4-of-8 FGs, 14-of-16 FTs), 13 rebounds and seven assists in the loss tot he Nuggets on Friday.
Analysis: Antetokounmpo's total shot attempts were low, once again. Aside from the three minutes he logged in an earlier contest against Detroit, in which he exited early with an injury, Antetokounmpo finished with under 10 shot attempts for the first time all season. He did get to the line a fair amount, which helped him tally over 20 points and lead the Bucks in scoring. But perhaps the most important development from Friday's game was Antetokounmpo's health: he left with a leg injury in the final minute and did not return. His status moving forward could have major implications. |

AJ Green AJ Green (illness) ruled out vs. Denver
Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 1:55 PM
Eric Nehm
AJ Green (illness) has been ruled out against the Nuggets on Friday.
Analysis: Green was added to the injury report Friday afternoon and has now officially been ruled out. Cole Anthony and Andre Jackson Jr. are the top candidates to fill the open starting spot, though neither holds much streaming upside. |

Gary Trent Gary Trent Jr. (illness) ruled out Friday vs. DEN
Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 1:54 PM
Eric Nehm
Gary Trent Jr. (illness) will not play on Friday against the Nuggets.
Analysis: After being listed previously as questionable due to an illness, Trent Jr. has been downgraded and will miss Friday's game against the Nuggets. The veteran sharpshooter has seen his minutes dwindle as the season has progressed and has now settled into a lesser reserve role, averaging under 20 minutes per game. He's always capable of getting hot from beyond the arc for some big performances, but the overall impact has been minimal of late. Trent Jr.'s absence shouldn't change much from a fantasy basketball standpoint. |

Myles Turner Myles Turner (ankle) available Friday vs. Nuggets
Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 1:50 PM
Eric Nehm
Myles Turner (ankle) is available to play Friday against the Nuggets.
Analysis: Turner is set to return from a one-game absence to help the Bucks get back on track. The veteran center has underwhelmed in his first season in Milwaukee, averaging just 12.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game for a Bucks team that's struggling to stack wins. Both the Bucks and fantasy managers could use a big game from Turner on Friday. |

Gary Trent Gary Trent Jr., AJ Green questionable Friday
Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 9:59 AM
NBA Injury Report
Gary Trent Jr. (illness) and AJ Green (illness) are questionable for Friday's matchup with the Nuggets.
Analysis: If Trent Jr. and Green are forced to sit this one out, Gary Harris and Cole Anthony could see additional playing time in the backcourt, with Ryan Rollins taking on a major workload. |

Myles Turner Myles Turner (ankle) probable Friday vs. Denver
Thu, Jan 22, 2026, 9:03 AM
NBA Injury Report
Myles Turner (ankle) is probable for Friday's game against the Nuggets.
Analysis: Turner did not play in Wednesday's loss to the Thunder, which led to Gary Harris starting and Giannis Antetokounmpo serving as the starting center opposite Chet Holmgren. Harris played nine minutes, with Bobby Portis' playing time increasing off the bench. Harris is likely to fall out of the rotation entirely if Turner plays on Friday. |

Ryan Rollins Ryan Rollins records seven assists vs. Thunder
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 6:20 PM
Ryan Rollins accounted for 10 points (4-of-11 FGs), three rebounds, seven assists, three steals and two three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Thunder.
Analysis: Rollins has dished out seven assists in two of his last three games, and his season-long fantasy value continues to hold steady just outside the top-50 in eight-cat formats. And with Kevin Porter Jr. (oblique) expected to be out for a while, now is a good time to hop back onto the Rollins bandwagon, even with Wednesday's modest production. |

Bobby Portis Bobby Portis dishes out season-high nine assists
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 6:19 PM
Bobby Portis amassed 15 points (6-of-14 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), six rebounds, nine assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Thunder.
Analysis: Not only were the nine assists a season-high for Portis, but Wednesday's tally equalled his total in Milwaukee's previous eight games. While Gary Harris (three points, one assist and one three-pointer) started for the injured Myles Turner, he only played nine minutes, and Portis was in the lineup to begin the third quarter. If Turner isn't back for Friday's game against the Nuggets, one would think that Portis would be his replacement. It doesn't make sense to start anyone else. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis Antetokounmpo posts 19/14/7/1 line vs. OKC
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 6:19 PM
Giannis Antetokounmpo tallied 19 points (8-of-11 FGs, 3-of-6 FTs), 14 rebounds, seven assists and one steal in Wednesday's loss to the Thunder.
Analysis: The Bucks were on the wrong end of their fourth defeat in five games, with Giannis leading the way offensively. He remains under a minutes restriction, but the Bucks continue to battle inconsistency with the trade deadline two weeks away. While Giannis may not be on the move, the team around him likely needs to change if Milwaukee is to entertain any thoughts of being a factor come playoff time. |

Gary Harris MIL starts Rollins, Green, Harris, Kuzma, Giannis
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 3:14 PM
NBA Lineups
Ryan Rollins, AJ Green, Gary Harris, Kyle Kuzma and Giannis Antetokounmpo will start Wednesday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: The Bucks don't have Myles Turner for Wednesday's game, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. He'll be replaced by Harris, who can give the Bucks' perimeter defense a boost. This lineup also means Giannis will start guarding Chet Holmgren. |

Kevin Porter Rivers: Porter (oblique) âwon't play anytime soon'
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 2:02 PM
Darius Joshua
Bucks head coach Doc Rivers said ahead of Wednesday's game against the Thunder that Kevin Porter Jr. (oblique) won't return to action âanytime soon.â
Analysis: Porter, who came off the bench in Monday's win over the Hawks, is dealing with a strained oblique muscle. Given Rivers' words, KPJ's injury may be a week-to-week deal, and that's being conservative. His absence raises Ryan Rollins' fantasy ceiling, and Gary Trent Jr. may re-enter the rotation. |

Myles Turner Myles Turner (ankle) sidelined vs. Thunder
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 9:33 AM
NBA Injury Report
Myles Turner (ankle) is out for Thursday's matchup with the Thunder.
Analysis: Turner's absence should mean plenty of run for Bobby Portis, with Jericho Sims earning some additional minutes off the bench. In six starts this season, Portis has averaged 16 points, nine boards and 1.7 triples across 31 minutes. |

Kevin Porter Kevin Porter Jr. (oblique) out Wednesday vs. OKC
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 9:29 AM
NBA Injury Report
Kevin Porter Jr. (oblique) is out for Wednesday's matchup with the Thunder.
Analysis: KPJ came off the bench in his last game out, but his vacated minutes should give Ryan Rollins a higher upside. Gary Trent Jr. may pick up some extra minutes too, but Rollins is the clear streaming option here. |
|
Myles Turner Myles Turner (ankle) questionable Wednesday
Tue, Jan 20, 2026, 11:57 AM
Myles Turner (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: Turner is dealing with a left ankle sprain, according to the injury report. His status is up in the air for Wednesday's game against the Thunder given his questionable designation. Bobby Portis and Jericho Sims would be candidates to fill in at the center position if Turner is ultimately ruled out with Portis as the preferred fantasy option. |
|
Kevin Porter Kevin Porter Jr. (oblique) questionable Wednesday
Tue, Jan 20, 2026, 11:53 AM
NBA Injury Report
Kevin Porter Jr. (oblique) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: Porter, who came off the bench in Monday's win over the Hawks, is dealing with a strained oblique muscle. Gary Trent Jr. could be moved into the rotation after picking up a DNP-CD the last time out, but he would not be worth the streaming risk. |
