AJ Green AJ Green adds eight assists vs. Heat on Wednesday
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 4:34 PM
AJ Green totaled 12 points (4-of-6 FGs), five rebounds, eight assists, two steals and four three-pointers against the Heat on Wednesday.
Analysis: The sharpshooting guard was productive from beyond the arc, as usual, against Miami. However, his playmaking was the bigger story on Wednesday. Green posted a season-high in assists and came within two assists of his first double-double of the season. There aren't many reasons to believe Green can sustain this level of playmaking over the long term. He likely isn't worth a roster spot in fantasy leagues. |

Myles Turner Myles Turner goes for 24 points Wednesday vs. Heat
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 4:26 PM
Myles Turner recorded 24 points (9-of-15 FGs, 5-of-8 FTs), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and one three-pointer on Wednesday against the Heat.
Analysis: Turner had one of his more productive games in quite some time on Wednesday. Accurate shooting inside the arc helped the veteran center set a new season-high in points, and also log his third 20-point outing of the season. Poor shooting from beyond the arc and a few misses from the charity stripe prevented him from producing more. Still, Turner did his part and nearly notched a double-double in the loss. |

Ryan Rollins Ryan Rollins tallies 26/8/5 line in loss to Miami
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 4:20 PM
Ryan Rollins produced 26 points (11-of-24 FGs, 0-of-1 FTs), eight rebounds, five assists, one steal and four three-pointers in the loss to the Heat on Wednesday.
Analysis: Rollins bounced back from an inefficient 10-point, 4-of-14 shooting performance against the Trail Blazers. He made four triples alone against the Heat and tied a season-high in rebounds along the way. He led Milwaukee in scoring, but ultimately it wasn't enough to stop the Bucks' skid ??" they've now lost six games in a row, but will have a chance to end the streak on Friday against the Knicks. |

Gary Trent MIL starts Rollins, Trent, Green, Kuzma, Turner
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 1:07 PM
Milwaukee Bucks
Ryan Rollins, Gary Trent, AJ Green, Kyle Kuzma and Myles Turner will start Wednesday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: The Bucks are without Giannis Antetokounmpo for a fourth straight game, as he continues to recover from a strained groin. Head coach Doc Rivers has decided to go small, moving Trent into the starting lineup. This raises his fantasy ceiling, making the guard worth a look even with nine games on Wednesday's schedule. Jericho Sims and Bobby Portis will come off the bench, with the latter worth streaming despite that role. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis (groin) downgraded to out Wednesday
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 12:33 PM
Eric Nehm
Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin) is out for Wednesday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: With Antetokounmpo considered questionable on the initial injury report, there was hope that he would play. Unfortunately, the Bucks have ruled out their superstar forward. While Bobby Portis offers superior streaming value, Jericho Sims received a spot start the last time out. However, Sims only played 11 minutes, so there's no need to consider streaming him if he gets another start. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis (groin) questionable Wednesday vs. Miami
Tue, Nov 25, 2025, 10:59 AM
Jim Owczarski
Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: Antetokounmpo has missed Milwaukee's last three games with a strained groin, but a return may be on the horizon. Initially given a timeline of one to two weeks, the Bucks star has a chance to play in Wednesday's NBA Cup matchup. If he returns, Jericho Sims will head to the bench after logging 11 minutes in Monday's loss to the Trail Blazers. |

Ryan Rollins Ryan Rollins struggles, scores 10 points vs. POR
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 5:11 PM
Ryan Rollins shot 4-of-14 from the field and 2-of-2 from the foul line in Monday's loss to the Trail Blazers, scoring 10 points with five rebounds, seven assists and one steal.
Analysis: Rollins had to deal with Portland's Toumani Camara for most of Monday's game, and the impact on his output was unsurprisingly negative. Monday's game was just the fourth this season in which the fourth-year guard scored 10 points or less, so there isn't too much to be worried about. A late-round option in drafts before the season began, Rollins has been a fourth-round player in nine-cat formats, representing one of the best values in fantasy basketball. He'll look to bounce back when the Bucks face the Heat on Wednesday. |

Bobby Portis Bobby Portis drops team-high 22 points vs. POR
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 5:10 PM
Bobby Portis amassed 22 points (9-of-15 FGs), six rebounds, two assists, two steals and four three-pointers in Monday's loss to the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: In the three games since Milwaukee lost Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin) during a November 17 loss to the Cavaliers, Portis has scored 19, 18 and 22 points. After starting the first two games, Portis was back on the bench Monday night, but that didn't prevent him from recording his first 20-point game of the season. As long as Portis continues to hit the mid-to-high 20s in minutes, he's worth trusting while the Bucks await Giannis' return, especially with the Bucks having three more games in Week 6. |

Myles Turner Myles Turner posts 13 points, 11 rebounds vs. POR
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 5:10 PM
Myles Turner accumulated 13 points (4-of-12 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 11 rebounds, one assist, four blocks and three three-pointers in Monday's loss to the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Turner recorded his second double-double in three games on Monday, but the production since Milwaukee lost Giannis Antetokounmpo to a strained groin has been underwhelming. Over the last three games, the Bucks' center has averaged 12.3 points on 39.4 percent shooting from the field. The good news is that the rebounds, blocks and three-pointers have been there, but a more accurate Turner would be more valuable to fantasy managers. The good news is that Milwaukee plays three more games during Week 6, starting with the Heat on Wednesday. |

Jericho Sims MIL: Ryan, AJ, Kyle, Jericho, Myles to start Mon.
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 1:41 PM
Milwaukee Bucks
Kyle Kuzma, AJ Green, Jericho Sims, Myles Turner, and Ryan Rollins will start vs. the Trail Blazers on Monday.
Analysis: The Bucks will start Jericho Sims on Monday in place of Bobby Portis as they look to snap a four-game losing streak. Sims' start will mark his first as a member of the Bucks ??" he's averaging 1.8 points and 2.2 rebounds per game across 12 appearances this season. Portis should still play a sizable role off the bench, with his scoring production likely going to be needed. |

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. |

Gary Harris Gary Harris (illness) available Thursday vs. PHI
Thu, Nov 20, 2025, 12:32 PM

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. |
