Kyle Kuzma Kyle Kuzma posts double-double vs. Minnesota
Sun, Dec 21, 2025, 3:37 PM
Kyle Kuzma accounted for 12 points (3-of-6 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), 10 rebounds and four assists in Sunday's loss to the Timberwolves.
Analysis: After missing Thursday's loss to the Raptors, Kuzma was moved into the starting lineup, with Gary Trent Jr. dropping to the bench. He only recorded six official field-goal attempts, but Kuzma recorded his second double-double of the season. The inconsistency makes him a challenging player to rely on in standard fantasy leagues, but Kuzma is worth a shot in deeper leagues if he remains in the starting lineup. Trent once again struggled with his shot on Sunday, scoring six points on 2-of-11 shooting. |

Bobby Portis Bobby Portis records 16 points, 11 rebounds
Sun, Dec 21, 2025, 3:36 PM
Bobby Portis tallied 16 points (7-of-17 FGs), 11 rebounds, one assist, one steal and two three-pointers in Sunday's loss to the Timberwolves.
Analysis: After a stellar performance in Thursday's loss to the Raptors, Portis was inserted into the starting lineup for the first time since November 22. The veteran forward answered with his second straight double-double and third in four appearances. Jericho Sims, who was moved back to the bench to make room for Portis, played 19 minutes and finished with nine points, six rebounds, two assists and one steal. As long as he's starting in place of the injured Giannis Antetokounmpo, Portis should be rostered in 12-team leagues. |

Kevin Porter Kevin Porter Jr. leads Bucks with 24 points Sunday
Sun, Dec 21, 2025, 3:36 PM
Kevin Porter Jr. accounted for 24 points (8-of-17 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), 10 rebounds, nine assists, four steals, one block and three three-pointers in Sunday's loss to the Timberwolves.
Analysis: While Porter committed six turnovers on Sunday, his finishing one assist shy of a triple-double is more notable, especially in eight-cat formats. Since the Bucks lost Giannis Antetokounmpo on December 3, KPJ has been a top-10 player in eight-cat. And even with the high turnover counts, Porter has been a top-20 player in nine-cat during this stretch. The Bucks play three games in Week 10, starting with the Pacers on Tuesday. |

Kyle Kuzma MIL starts Porter, Green, Kuzma, Portis, Turner
Sun, Dec 21, 2025, 12:36 PM
Milwaukee Bucks
Kevin Porter Jr., AJ Green, Kyle Kuzma, Bobby Portis and Myles Turner will start Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: The Bucks have made two changes to their starting lineup. With Gary Trent Jr. and Jericho Sims both struggling in Thursday's loss to the Raptors, they've been moved to the bench. Kuzma and Portis move into the starting lineup, raising the fantasy ceilings of both players. |

Kyle Kuzma Kyle Kuzma (illness) removed from injury report
Sat, Dec 20, 2025, 10:43 AM
Eric Nehm
Kyle Kuzma (illness) is not on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Kuzma will be available after sitting out Thursday's loss to the Raptors. His absence coincided with the return of starter AJ Green, who missed three games with a shoulder injury. Kuzma may come off the bench on Sunday, but he has a slightly higher fantasy ceiling due to Giannis Antetokounmpo's absence. |

Ryan Rollins Ryan Rollins records 17/4/5/3 line vs. Toronto
Thu, Dec 18, 2025, 4:42 PM
Ryan Rollins tallied 17 points (7-of- 15 FGs), four rebounds, five assists, three steals and three three-pointers in Thursday's loss to the Raptors.
Analysis: For the first time since Milwaukee's season opener, Rollins came off the bench on Thursday. However, being replaced in the lineup by Gary Trent Jr. did not negatively impact Rollins' value. He finished a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line and appeared to do well in the minutes that he didn't share the floor with Kevin Porter Jr. As for Trent, he shot 1-of-8 from the field and finished with three points, two assists, two steals and one three-pointer in 30 minutes. Fantasy managers who have held onto Rollins for this long should keep the faith, especially after his performance against the Raptors. |

AJ Green AJ Green (shoulder) plays 24 minutes in return
Thu, Dec 18, 2025, 4:42 PM
AJ Green (shoulder) accounted for five points (2-of-5 FGs), two rebounds, one assist, one steal and one three-pointer in Thursday's loss to the Raptors.
Analysis: Green was back in the Bucks' lineup after missing three games with a sprained AC joint in his left shoulder. He didn't do much offensively, but being in the starting lineup was a positive. Given how consistent he was before the injury, Green should hold onto that role, even if he offers a limited fantasy ceiling. He's only worth rostering in deep leagues where there's a need for three-pointers. |

Myles Turner Myles Turner hits four triples, scores 21 points
Thu, Dec 18, 2025, 4:42 PM
Myles Turner finished Thursday's loss to the Raptors with 21 points (6-of-14 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), six rebounds, one assist and four three-pointers.
Analysis: Turner finished Thursday with his fourth 20-point game of the season and first since November 26. Unfortunately for those who have the center rostered, his fantasy value has not increased with Giannis Antetokounmpo sidelined. In fact, Turner is ranked outside the top-200 in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Buying low comes with significant risk, as the Bucks don't have a playmaker who Turner can play off of who's on par with Indiana's Tyrese Haliburton. |

Bobby Portis Bobby Portis posts 24 points, 12 rebounds vs. TOR
Thu, Dec 18, 2025, 4:41 PM
Bobby Portis amassed 24 points (9-of-16 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), 12 rebounds, two steals, one block and three three-pointers in Thursday's loss to the Raptors.
Analysis: Despite the Raptors not employing a legitimate center in their starting lineup with Jakob Poeltl out, the Bucks still started Jericho Sims alongside Myles Turner. It was inevitable that Portis would be asked to do more, and he was up to the task. The âMayor of Milwaukeeâ recorded his second double-double in three games and replaced Sims (six points, seven rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes) in the lineup to begin the third quarter. As long as Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is out, Portis is worth rostering. |

Kevin Porter Kevin Porter Jr. records 22 points, 13 assists
Thu, Dec 18, 2025, 4:41 PM
Kevin Porter Jr. accounted for 22 points (7-of-18 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), four rebounds, 13 assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in Thursday's loss to the Raptors.
Analysis: For fantasy managers competing in eight-cat formats or punting turnovers, Thursday was a great night to have Porter rostered. In addition to recording his second double-double of the season, he matched his previous high with 13 assists. However, Porter was also responsible for seven of the Bucks' 16 turnovers. KPJ has been a first-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, and the overall production has been good enough to make him a top-20 player in nine-cat. |

Gary Trent MIL starts Porter, Trent, Green, Turner, Sims
Thu, Dec 18, 2025, 1:40 PM
Milwaukee Bucks
Kevin Porter Jr., Gary Trent Jr., AJ Green, Myles Turner and Jericho Sims will start Thursday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Green is back in the starting lineup after missing three games with a shoulder injury. Kyle Kuzma, who was the replacement in the starting lineup, is not available due to illness. The other change to Milwaukee's lineup is that Ryan Rollins has been bumped to the bench, with Trent starting alongside Porter. Those who have Rollins rostered must watch closely, as his fantasy value will take a hit if this change holds. |

Cole Anthony Cole Anthony (neck) available Thursday vs. Raptors
Thu, Dec 18, 2025, 1:11 PM
Cole Anthony (neck) is available for Thursday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Anthony is available after being listed as questionable with a strained neck. He could see a few extra minutes off the bench with Kyle Kuzma (illness) out, but he's still not worth rostering in most fantasy leagues. |
|
AJ Green AJ Green (shoulder) available Thursday vs. Toronto
Thu, Dec 18, 2025, 1:10 PM
Milwaukee Bucks
AJ Green (shoulder) is available for Thursday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Green is back after a three-game absence. With Kyle Kuzma (illness) ruled out, Green will be able to slide back into the starting lineup without issue. |

Kyle Kuzma Kyle Kuzma (illness) downgraded to out Thursday
Thu, Dec 18, 2025, 12:36 PM
Jackson Gross
Kyle Kuzma (illness) is out for Thursday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Initially questionable for Thursday's game, Kuzma is officially out. How impactful his absence is depends on AJ Green's (shoulder) availability, who remains questionable. If Green can play, he'll slide back into his spot in the Bucks' starting lineup. |

Kyle Kuzma Kyle Kuzma (illness) questionable Thursday vs. TOR
Wed, Dec 17, 2025, 12:30 PM
Milwaukee Bucks
Kyle Kuzma (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Kuzma has started Milwaukee's last three games, as AJ Green was unavailable due to a shoulder injury. If both can play against the Raptors, Kuzma will be headed to the bench. Gary Trent Jr. and Gary Harris would have more opportunities to produce if Kuzma or Green sits. |
|
AJ Green AJ Green (shoulder) questionable Thursday vs. TOR
Wed, Dec 17, 2025, 12:23 PM
Milwaukee Bucks
AJ Green (shoulder) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Green has missed Milwaukee's last three games as he recovers from a sprained left AC joint. Kyle Kuzma has filled the void in the starting lineup, but he's questionable for Thursday's game due to illness. Gary Trent Jr. and Gary Harris would figure more prominently in the rotation if Green and Kuzma sit, with Trent Jr. being the superior streaming option. |
|
Cole Anthony Cole Anthony (neck) questionable Thursday vs. TOR
Wed, Dec 17, 2025, 12:19 PM
Milwaukee Bucks
Cole Anthony (neck) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Anthony is dealing with a strained neck, casting some doubt on his availability for Thursday's game. He'll only impact fantasy basketball if AJ Green (shoulder) remains out and Kyle Kuzma (illness) also sits. There's no need to consider adding Anthony. |

Gary Trent Trent scores 20 points in blowout loss to Nets
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 2:20 PM
Gary Trent Jr. amassed a team-high 20 points (7-of-14 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds and two steals over 28 minutes during Sunday's lopsided defeat at the hands of the Nets.
Analysis: On the heels of an impressive win over the Celtics earlier this week, the Giannis Antetokounmpo-less Bucks looked completely discombobulated without their franchise cornerstone in this one as they fell behind by nearly 30 points in the second half. Milwaukee is just 2-8 without Antetokounmpo, who remains sidelined with groin and calf issues. It was Kyle Kuzma and Bobby Portis that led the way during Friday's victory, but they were relatively quiet in this one with Trent going off for a team-high 20 points. He did most of his damage from beyond the arc, draining 4-of-8 from three-point range. The Bucks will attempt to get back on track when they kick off a two-game week on Thursday against the Raptors before facing the Timberwolves in a road matchup. |

AJ Green AJ Green (shoulder) to remain out Sunday vs. Nets
Sat, Dec 13, 2025, 9:34 AM
AJ Green (shoulder) is out for Sunday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Green has missed a little over a week of the season with a shoulder injury and that absence will extend through Sunday's game against the Nets. Kyle Kuzma will likely remain in the starting lineup with Gary Trent Jr. seeing additional minutes off the bench. |

Bobby Portis Bobby Portis drops 27 points in win over Celtics
Thu, Dec 11, 2025, 4:58 PM
Bobby Portis had 27 points (11-of-13 FGs), 10 rebounds, one steal and five three-pointers against the Celtics on Thursday.
Analysis: Portis is averaging 11.2 points per game this year, but with Giannis Antetokounmpo out of the lineup he's put up at least 22 points in two of his last three games. The 30-year-old power forward was very efficient with 27 points on 13 attempts and five made three-pointers. He's still in a reserve scoring role, but with Giannis sidelined there's more of a runway for Portis to hit his ceiling. |
