Ryan Rollins Ryan Rollins scores team-high 22 points vs. DET
Sat, Nov 22, 2025, 4:35 PM
Ryan Rollins recorded 22 points (8-of-20 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, six assists, one steal, two blocks and three three-pointers in Saturday's loss to the Pistons.
Analysis: While Rollins had to deal with significant defensive attention in Thursday's overtime loss to the 76ers, that did not compare to what he saw from Detroit. The Pistons threw Ausar Thompson at the Bucks guard, and he struggled early on. However, Rollins would eventually get his bearings and finish with a solid overall stat line. Despite the Bucks' injuries, he's still rostered in just 53 percent of Yahoo! leagues. Look for that number to increase, especially with Milwaukee playing four games during Week 6. |

Bobby Portis Bobby Portis posts 18/7/2 stat line vs. Detroit
Sat, Nov 22, 2025, 4:34 PM
Bobby Portis tallied 18 points (7-of-10 FGs), seven rebounds, two assists and four three-pointers in Saturday's loss to the Pistons.
Analysis: After scoring 19 points in his first start for the injured Giannis Antetokounmpo, Portis tallied 18 on 70 percent shooting on Saturday. He didn't provide any defensive stats against the Bucks, but the opportunity to start makes Portis a player worth rostering while Milwaukee awaits the return of its best player. And with four games on the schedule for Week 6, now is a good time to add Portis if he's sitting on your league's waiver wire. |

AJ Green AJ Green hits five three-pointers vs. Detroit
Sat, Nov 22, 2025, 4:34 PM
AJ Green finished Saturday's loss to the Pistons with 15 points (5-of-12 FGs), two rebounds, two assists and five three-pointers.
Analysis: For the second time this season, Green made five three-pointers in a game on Saturday. He's made at least three in 13 of his 17 appearances, locking down a spot in the Bucks' starting lineup. Green is mainly an option for managers needing points and three-pointers, and he's been consistently productive in those areas. The Bucks play four games during Week 6, starting with the Trail Blazers on Monday. |

Kyle Kuzma Kyle Kuzma (illness) available Saturday vs. DET
Sat, Nov 22, 2025, 10:42 AM
Eric Nehm
Kyle Kuzma (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: Added to the Bucks' injury report Saturday morning, Kuzma is officially good to go. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin) unavailable, he's worth a roll of the dice in 12-team leagues due to Milwaukee's lack of proven scorers. |

Kyle Kuzma Kyle Kuzma (illness) questionable Saturday
Sat, Nov 22, 2025, 4:20 AM
Kyle Kuzma (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: Kuzma popped up on the injury report Saturday morning as questionable with an illness. The 30-year-old power forward still has the entire afternoon to recover from his illness, though it's unclear what illness Kuzma is dealing with. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin) out, the Bucks are counting on Kuzma to play an increased role if he's available. |

Bobby Portis Bobby Portis posts 19, eight boards in start
Thu, Nov 20, 2025, 5:22 PM
Bobby Portis produced 19 points (9-of-14 FGs), eight rebounds, one steal and one three-pointer in Thursday's loss to the 76ers.
Analysis: Portis was Bucks head coach Doc Rivers' choice to fill the massive void left by Giannis Antetokounmpo, who will be re-evaluated in one to two weeks after suffering a strained groin. After a slow start to his 11th NBA season, âThe Mayor of Milwaukeeâ was productive in his 28 minutes. The playing time is a concern, especially with Myles Turner (14/10/1 with three three-pointers) also playing 28 minutes. Gary Trent Jr. (11 points, two assists, one steal and three three-pointers) replaced Portis in the lineup to begin the third quarter, a sign that the matchup influenced the minutes. Despite that, Milwaukee's lack of dependable frontcourt options makes rostering Portis a risk worth taking in deeper leagues. |

Kyle Kuzma Kyle Kuzma posts 17/3/4/2/1 line vs. Philadelphia
Thu, Nov 20, 2025, 5:22 PM
Kyle Kuzma tallied 17 points (6-of-14 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), three rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block in Thursday's loss to the 76ers.
Analysis: While Kuzma hasn't been the most reliable option for fantasy managers, Giannis Antetokounmpo's absence with a low-grade groin strain makes him worth a longer look. The Bucks forward provided solid value on Thursday in the first game that Milwaukee has played since Giannis' injury. However, some fantasy managers will hope for more rebounding production from Kuzma. Unfortunately, the Bucks end Week 5 with a challenging matchup, as they'll host the red-hot Pistons on Saturday. |

Ryan Rollins Ryan Rollins leads Bucks with 32 points in OT loss
Thu, Nov 20, 2025, 5:20 PM
Ryan Rollins shot 13-of-26 from the field and 4-of-4 from the foul line in Thursday's loss to the 76ers, scoring 32 points with six rebounds, 14 assists, one steal and two three-pointers.
Analysis: Rollins continues to shine as the Bucks' starting point guard. On Thursday, he recorded his second career double-double and matched his career-high with 32 points. Rollins' 14 assists were a career-high as he hit double digits in that category for the second time as a pro. Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) still isn't close to a return, but it's fair to say that Rollins will remain the Bucks' starting point guard no matter what. He's only rostered in 52 percent of Yahoo! leagues, which is way too low. |

Bobby Portis MIL starts Rollins, Green, Kuzma, Portis, Turner
Thu, Nov 20, 2025, 1:39 PM
NBA Lineups
Ryan Rollins, AJ Green, Kyle Kuzma, Bobby Portis and Myles Turner will start Thursday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: Thursday's game will be the first Milwaukee has played since losing Giannis Antetokounmpo to a strained groin during Monday's loss to the Cavaliers. Portis, who has provided limited fantasy value this season, moves into the starting lineup. Even with the slow start, he's worth the risk due to the opportunity. |

Thu, Nov 20, 2025, 12:32 PM
NBA Injury Report
Gary Harris (illness) is available for Thursday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: Harris, added the injury report Thursday afternoon, went through his pregame routine without issue and will be available. However, he is not guaranteed to play rotation minutes, so do not add him to your lineups. |

Gary Harris Gary Harris now questionable for Thursday's game
Thu, Nov 20, 2025, 6:49 AM
NBA.com
Gary Harris has been downgraded to questionable for Thursday's game against the 76ers with an illness.
Analysis: Harris had been battling a hamstring injury late in October, but had returned to the court and played 23 and 26 minutes in back-to-back games on November 14th and 15th. However, it seems that he may not be able to suit up on Thursday. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Shams: Giannis (groin) to miss 1-2 weeks
Tue, Nov 18, 2025, 11:24 AM
Shams Charania
ESPN's Shams Charania reports Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin) will miss one-to-two weeks.
Analysis: Charania's report indicates it's a low-grade left groin strain for Giannis, and if he doesn't return in November, he should be back quickly to start December. That means at least three absences for Giannis, though he could be out seven games or more, depending on how he recovers. Antetokounmpo has had one of the highest usage rates of his career this year, so there will be plenty of shots to go around. Recently, Kyle Kuzma (24 percent rostered in Yahoo! leagues) replaced Gary Trent Jr. (seven percent) in the starting lineup, but GTJ could make a return to the opening unit with Antetokounmpo out. Jericho Sims started the second half of Monday's game against the Cavaliers, but that was likely a matchup-based decision against Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. Bobby Portis (25 percent) is another candidate to enter the starting lineup, though he has been disappointing this year. Of course, Ryan Rollins, who is enjoying a breakout season for the Bucks, had his two best games of the year when Giannis missed games earlier this year. Everyone on the Bucks will seen a bump in usage and minutes until Antetokounmpo returns. |

Ryan Rollins Rollins scores 22 points in loss to Cavaliers
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 4:52 PM
Ryan Rollins finished with 24 points (9-of-22 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), three rebounds, five assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Monday's loss to the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Rollins picked up the slack from an offensive standpoint in the second half following superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo's exit in the late stages of the second quarter with a left groin strain. However, Milwaukee was unable to avoid their third loss in their last four games. He shot 50 percent from downtown, hitting five of 10 treys and hoisted a team-leading 22 shots in this one. We're anticipating he'll get a couple additional looks per-game if Giannis winds up missing time. The Bucks have a couple days off to regroup before facing off against the 76ers on Thursday evening. |

Myles Turner Turner scores 15 points in loss to Cavaliers
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 4:50 PM
Myles Turner accumulated 15 points (4-of-9 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists, three steals and one block over 37 minutes in Monday's loss to the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Turner will be asked to play an exponentially larger role on both ends of the floor if Giannis Antetokounmpo winds up requiring a lengthy absence after leaving Monday's contest with a left groin strain. He's set to undergo further testing and there should be some clarity on his status in the coming days. The veteran center knocked down four of five from three-point range in this one but wound up with just four additional shot attempts. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin) will not return Mon.
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 2:35 PM
Eric Nehm
Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin) will not return to Monday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Giannis exited Monday's game during the second quarter, and the Bucks are describing the injury as a strained left groin. That's terrible news for the Bucks and for fantasy managers, as the perennial All-Star may be facing an extended absence. Jericho Sims started the third quarter in Antetokounmpo's place, but he offers minimal fantasy value. |

Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 11:37 AM
Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) will play against the Cavaliers on Monday.
Analysis: Antetokounmpo was initially listed as probable with a knee injury, but has since been ruled in. The 30-year-old power forward missed a game last week, but returned with 32 points against the Lakers on Saturday. Expect Giannis to play without limitations against the Cavaliers on Monday. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis drops 32 points as Bucks fall to Lakers
Sat, Nov 15, 2025, 4:37 PM
Giannis Antetokounmpo amassed 32 points (9-of-15 FGs, 13-of-18 FTs), 10 rebounds, five assists and one block over 31 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Lakers.
Analysis: Antetokounmpo did his part from a scoring standpoint on the second night of a back-to-back for Milwaukee, but he got little help from his supporting cast in the early stages of this one as they ultimately trailed by 29 points at halftime. He knocked down six of eight shot attempts in the second half to reach the 30-point plateau for the ninth time in 12 games this season. He's slightly underperformed this season relative to fantasy managers expectations, averaging 32.6 points, 11.3 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.3 blocks. The Bucks are back in action on Monday when they face the Cavaliers before closing out a three-game week with home matchups against the 76ers and Pistons. |

Kyle Kuzma Kuzma held to just one point in loss to Lakers
Sat, Nov 15, 2025, 4:30 PM
Kyle Kuzma was held to one point (0-of-6 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs) and one rebound over 19 minutes during Saturday's loss to the Lakers.
Analysis: Yikes. Kuzma turned in a complete clunker against his former team following an impressive 29-point, 10-rebound effort during Friday's win over the Hornets where he made his first start since October 30. The 30-year-old forward, who spent the first four seasons of his career with the Lakers, missed all six of his shots from the floor with five of those coming from three-point range. He'll attempt to turn things around when the Bucks get back in action on Monday against the Cavaliers. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo (knee) available vs. Los Angeles
Sat, Nov 15, 2025, 1:12 PM
Milwaukee Bucks
Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is available to play against the Lakers on Saturday.
Analysis: As expected, Giannis will be good to go on the second night of the Bucks' back-to-back. He has been dominant all season, regardless of who he's matched up against, and that won't change in this one. |
