Ousmane Dieng Ousmane Dieng now headed to Milwaukee
Thu, Feb 5, 2026, 8:57 AM
Shams Charania
Ousmane Dieng has been traded to the Bucks.
Analysis: This is the third trade that Dieng has been involved in this deadline. He went from Oklahoma City to Charlotte to Chicago and now to Milwaukee. There likely isn't enough time for another deal to happen, so hopefully he has a sense of clarity about where he'll be headed. Dieng is a former lottery pick that is still only 22 years old, so he's worth taking a chance on for the Bucks. He should see more minutes that he did in OKC, and as long as Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) remains out, he could end up taking on a significant role during silly season. |

Nick Richards Report: Nick Richards traded to Bucks
Thu, Feb 5, 2026, 6:18 AM
Shams Charania
ESPN's Shams Charania reports that the Bucks acquired Nick Richards and Nigel Hayes-Davis from the Suns in exchange for Cole Anthony and Amir Coffey.
Analysis: Richards has appeared in just 28 games for the Suns this season, starting two, after starting 43 games for the Hornets and Suns last year. He'll give the Bucks more depth at center and could even play alongside Myles Turner if the Bucks want to stretch Turner out on offense. Historically, Richards has not produced much defensive value in fantasy, which limits his overall usefulness. He should probably be left on the wire in most formats. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Shams: Bucks plan to keep Giannis through deadline
Thu, Feb 5, 2026, 6:08 AM
Shams Charania
ESPN's Shams Charania reports the Bucks plan to keep Giannis Antetokounmpo through the trade deadline.
Analysis: Despite all the reports that Milwaukee was looking to move Giannis, they will keep him through the season, though managers shouldn't expect to see him often. He's currently sidelined with a calf injury, and there is no reason for them to rush him back. Of course, this isn't going to quiet any trade rumors, and teams will be revisiting a potential deal this offseason. |

AJ Green AJ Green had 20 points, six threes in win
Wed, Feb 4, 2026, 5:01 PM
AJ Green had 20 points (7-of-13 FGs), three rebounds, two assists and six three-pointers in Wednesday's OT win over the Pelicans.
Analysis: Green showed why he's worth adding while Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is out of the lineup in Wednesday's OT win versus the Pelicans. The 26-year-old guard saw more opportunities to score, mostly coming from behind the three-point line. Green had six threes on his way to a 20-point game, his first since December 26 against Memphis. |

Ryan Rollins Ryan Rollins has 27 points, three threes in OT win
Wed, Feb 4, 2026, 4:50 PM
Ryan Rollins had 27 points (10-of-19 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, four assists and three three-pointers in the Bucks' 141-137 OT victory over the Pelicans on Wednesday.
Analysis: Rollins' career-season continued Wednesday with a 27-point performance in the OT victory over the Pelicans. The 23-year-old point guard was efficient, shooting 10-of-19 from the field. Rollins is young, but looks like the Bucks' top player with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) out of the lineup. He's returned second-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Bucks have one more game this week coming Friday against the Pacers. |

Cole Anthony Cole Anthony (ankle) available vs. New Orleans
Wed, Feb 4, 2026, 12:54 PM
Milwaukee Bucks
Cole Anthony (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Anthony is good to go after initially being probable with a sprained left ankle. While Kevin Porter Jr. (oblique) will be under a minutes restriction, his return to action means fewer minutes are available to Anthony. |
|
Myles Turner Myles Turner (ankle) available Wednesday
Wed, Feb 4, 2026, 12:52 PM
Myles Turner (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Turner is still dealing with a left ankle sprain. The 29-year-old center was initially listed as probable, so his availability isn't much of a surprise. Turner will start as usual and could see extra minutes and usage with Bobby Portis (hip) still sidelined. |
|
Cole Anthony Cole Anthony (ankle) probable vs. New Orleans
Wed, Feb 4, 2026, 7:35 AM
NBA Injury Report
Cole Anthony (ankle) is probable to play against the Pelicans on Wednesday.
Analysis: Anthony is expected to suit up despite the left ankle sprain. He has played a small role off the bench recently, but with Kevin Porter Jr. (oblique) back, that may not continue. Anthony hasn't been productive in those minutes either, so managers shouldn't pay too much attention to his status. |
|
Bobby Portis Bobby Portis (hip) remains out vs. New Orleans
Wed, Feb 4, 2026, 7:32 AM
NBA Injury Report
Bobby Portis (hip) has been ruled out against the Pelicans on Wednesday.
Analysis: This will be a second consecutive absence for Portis, which led to Amir Coffey sliding into the starting lineup. Coffey didn't make much of a contribution in the box score, but Kyle Kuzma had a fantastic performance and could provide an encore against New Orleans. |
|
Myles Turner Myles Turner (ankle) probable vs. New Orleans
Wed, Feb 4, 2026, 7:30 AM
NBA Injury Report
Myles Turner (ankle) is probable to play against the Pelicans on Wednesday.
Analysis: Turner is managing a left ankle sprain, but that isn't expected to alter his availability against New Orleans. He'll occupy his typical role in the starting lineup and could see extra minutes with Bobby Portis (hip) sidelined. |
|
Kevin Porter Kevin Porter Jr. (oblique) off injury report
Wed, Feb 4, 2026, 7:27 AM
NBA Injury Report
Kevin Porter Jr. (oblique) is not on the injury report against the Pelicans on Wednesday.
Analysis: Bucks coach Doc Rivers said on Tuesday that KPJ was close to returning, and now that he's off the injury report, he will make his return against New Orleans. Prior to this six-game absence, KPJ spent one game coming off the bench and could remain in that limited role in his return. Cole Anthony will lose minutes with Porter back. |

Ryan Rollins Ryan Rollins has 21/7/10 line in win over Bulls
Tue, Feb 3, 2026, 4:59 PM
Ryan Rollins had 21 points (8-of-21 FGs), seven rebounds, 10 assists and five three-pointers in Tuesday's win over the Bulls.
Analysis: Rollins continues to average career-highs across the board in what has turned into a breakout season. The 23-year-old point guard was three rebounds shy of a triple-double in Tuesday's win over the Bulls. Rollins has provided fourth-round per game value this season. The Bucks play the Pelicans Wednesday at home on the second night of a back-to-back. |

Kyle Kuzma Kyle Kuzma has 31/10/6 line in win over Bulls
Tue, Feb 3, 2026, 4:53 PM
Kyle Kuzma had 31 points (12-of-22 FGs, 4-of-7 FTs), 10 rebounds, six assists, one steal and three three-pointers in the Bucks' 131-115 victory over the Bulls on Tuesday.
Analysis: Without Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Bobby Portis (hip), the Bucks were relying on Kuzma and he totally delivered in the win over the Bulls on Tuesday. The 30-year-old power forward had 31 points, 10 rebounds and six assists and was +18 in 31 minutes in the 16-point victory. Kuzma could be one of the main beneficiaries of fantasy value for the rest of the season, depending on what the Bucks do before the trade deadline. |

Amir Coffey MIL starts Rollins, Green, Kuzma, Coffey, Turner
Tue, Feb 3, 2026, 1:48 PM
NBA Lineups
Ryan Rollins, AJ Green, Kyle Kuzma, Amir Coffey and Myles Turner will start Tuesday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: The Bucks won't have Bobby Portis (hip) for Tuesday's game, opening up a spot in the starting lineup since he was filling in for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Coffey, who has played four minutes or less in three of his last four appearances, will move into the starting lineup. He isn't worth the risk in most fantasy leagues. |

Bobby Portis Bobby Portis (hip) downgraded to out vs. Chicago
Tue, Feb 3, 2026, 12:49 PM
Jackson Gross
Bobby Portis (hip) is out for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Portis will not play due to a right hip contusion, which makes Kyle Kuzma's role that much more important for the Bucks. There should also be more minutes available to Pete Nance and Andre Jackson Jr., but neither player is worth streaming. |
|
Kevin Porter Doc: Kevin Porter Jr. (oblique) close to returning
Tue, Feb 3, 2026, 12:29 PM
Jackson Gross
Bucks head coach Doc Rivers said on Tuesday that Kevin Porter Jr. (oblique) is closing in on a return to action.
Analysis: Tuesday's game against the Bulls will be the sixth Porter has missed due to a strained oblique. However, a return to action isn't far away, with Rivers saying that KPJ could be back either Wednesday or Friday. His return would provide much-needed help on the perimeter for the Bucks, who are also without Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf). Cole Anthony has entered the rotation, but his production has not been good enough to merit being streamed in fantasy leagues. |

Bobby Portis Bobby Portis (hip) questionable Tuesday vs. CHI
Tue, Feb 3, 2026, 6:53 AM
NBA Injury Report
Bobby Portis (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Bulls.
Analysis: Portis is dealing with a right hip contusion, and he's in danger of sitting out against the Bucks' Central Division rival after his late addition to the injury report. If Portis is sidelined, Kyle Kuzma could take on an even larger role, and Amir Coffey could earn some additional run off the bench. |
|
Gary Harris Gary Harris (hamstring) out Tuesday vs. CHI
Mon, Feb 2, 2026, 9:55 AM
NBA Injury Report
Gary Harris (hamstring) is out for Tuesday's matchup with the Bulls.
Analysis: Harris' absence isn't particularly notable for fantasy hoops managers. Gary Trent Jr. could see a few additional minutes, but the extra playing time doesn't give GTJ enough of a boost to warrant an add off the waiver wire. |

Kyle Kuzma Kyle Kuzma scores 16 points in loss to Boston
Sun, Feb 1, 2026, 12:00 PM
Kyle Kuzma accounted for 16 points (5-of-13 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), five rebounds, two assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Sunday's loss to the Celtics.
Analysis: Kuzma joined Ryan Rollins as the only Bucks in double figures on Sunday. He hasn't been the most reliable fantasy option for most of his career, but the current circumstances could make Kuzma worth the risk in points leagues. Rostered in 25 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he's been more productive with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Porter Jr. out due to injury. The Bucks play three games in Week 16, starting with the Bulls on Tuesday. |

Ryan Rollins Ryan Rollins scores team-high 25 points vs. Boston
Sun, Feb 1, 2026, 12:00 PM
Ryan Rollins finished Sunday's loss to the Celtics with 25 points (10-of-16 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, seven assists, one steal and three three-pointers.
Analysis: Rollins was essentially the only Bucks player able to establish anything offensively in Boston. The Bucks' guard had an efficient afternoon at the office, and the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Porter Jr. raises his ceiling considerably. While it remains to be seen what Milwaukee does before the trade deadline, fantasy managers should feel secure in rostering Rollins. |
