Jericho Sims Jericho Sims posts 12/6/2/2 line vs. Portland
Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 6:37 PM
Jericho Sims amassed 12 points (5-of-5 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, two assists and two steals in Wednesday's loss to the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: With Myles Turner (calf) unavailable, Sims slid into the starting center role on Wednesday. While he could not do much with Portland's Donovan Clingan, the Bucks' 6-foot-10 pivot did not miss a shot from the field. Sims' production rewarded the few who have him on their fantasy rosters, but not to the level where more fantasy managers should follow suit. The Bucks don't play again until Saturday, and that may be enough time to get Turner back into the lineup. |

Ousmane Dieng Ousmane Dieng tallies 16 points, four assists
Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 6:35 PM
Ousmane Dieng accounted for 16 points (7-of-17 FGs), four rebounds, four assists, one block and two three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Dieng has now started Milwaukee's last four games, with his promotion coinciding with Kevin Porter Jr. being out with a knee injury. However, the lineup change has not done much for Dieng's fantasy value, with the Bucks forward being a 13th-round player in eight-cat formats over the past week. The final line against the Trail Blazers was solid, but not enough to move the needle. Dieng remains more valuable in dynasty leagues than redraft leagues. |

Ryan Rollins Ryan Rollins scores career-high 36 points vs. POR
Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 6:33 PM
Ryan Rollins finished Wednesday's loss to the Trail Blazers with 36 points (13-of-26 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, two steals and six three-pointers.
Analysis: Given how shorthanded the Bucks were on Wednesday, the stage was set for Rollins to have a big night. That's precisely what happened, as he scored a career-high 36 points. Rollins was responsible for five turnovers, but scoring those 36 points on good percentages helped compensate for that. The Bucks return home to end Week 22 with a back-to-back against the Spurs and Clippers, two challenging matchups. If Milwaukee remains as shorthanded as it was in Portland, Rollins is going to get up a lot of shots. |

Pete Nance MIL starts Rollins, Green, Dieng, Sims, Nance
Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 3:42 PM
Milwaukee Bucks
Ryan Rollins, AJ Green, Ousmane Dieng, Jericho Sims and Pete Nance will start Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: The Bucks are without Myles Turner and Bobby Portis for Wednesday's game, so Nance moves into the starting lineup. The other change to the lineup is Green, who replaces Taurean Prince. |

Bobby Portis Bobby Portis (wrist) ruled out vs. Trail Blazers
Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 2:46 PM
Eric Nehm
Bobby Portis (wrist) will not play against the Trail Blazers on Wednesday.
Analysis: Portis was downgraded from questionable to out ahead of Wednesday's contest in Portland, as the absence will mark the veteran forward's fifth missed game of the season. He's averaging 13.7 points and 6.4 rebounds per contest; Pete Nance could see an uptick in minutes with Portis unavailable. |

Kyle Kuzma Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) out Wednesday vs. Blazers
Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 2:41 PM
Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) is out for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Kuzma is set to miss his second game in a row with an Achilles injury. Jericho Sims will start in his place again. Sims had four points in 19 minutes in Monday's loss to the Clippers, but could see more usage with Myles Turner (calf) and Bobby Portis out as well. |

Myles Turner Myles Turner (calf) out Wednesday vs. Blazers
Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 2:37 PM
Myles Turner (calf) is out for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Turner popped up on the injury report as questionable with a calf injury Wednesday afternoon and was subsequently ruled out for the game against the Trail Blazers. The 30-year-old center has nursed this calf injury since before the All-Star break. Jericho Sims and Pete Nance will take on the center minutes with Turner and Bobby Portis sidelined. |
|
Myles Turner Myles Turner (calf) now questionable vs. Portland
Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 10:00 AM
NBA Injury Report
Myles Turner (calf) is questionable to play against the Trail Blazers on Wednesday.
Analysis: Turner is a late addition to the injury report due to a calf injury that he has been nursing since before the All-Star break. It hasn't forced him to miss much time, but the late addition isn't encouraging for his chances of playing. Jericho Sims, Pete Nance and Bobby Portis will all take on extra minutes if Turner is sidelined. |
|
Gary Harris Gary Harris (groin) remains out vs. Portland
Tue, Mar 24, 2026, 2:42 PM
NBA Injury Report
Gary Harris (groin) has been ruled out against the Trail Blazers on Wednesday.
Analysis: Harris will be sidelined for a third straight game, though he hasn't played much when he's been available. His continued absence won't have much of an impact on the Bucks' rotation. |
|
Kyle Kuzma Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) questionable vs. Portland
Tue, Mar 24, 2026, 2:40 PM
NBA Injury Report
Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) is questionable to play against the Trail Blazers on Wednesday.
Analysis: Kuzma miss Monday's game and could remain sidelined against Portland. Jericho Sims started in his place in a tall starting unit, though he didn't contribute much in an increased role. Sims will likely head back to the bench if Kuzma returns. |
|
Bobby Portis Bobby Portis (wrist) questionable vs. Portland
Tue, Mar 24, 2026, 2:32 PM
NBA Injury Report
Bobby Portis (wrist) is questionable to play against the Trail Blazers on Wednesday.
Analysis: Portis (ribs) returned from a one-game absence on Monday, but he is now dealing with a wrist injury instead. Pete Nance and Jericho Sims should be in line for extra minutes if Portis is unavailable. |
|
Kevin Porter Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) remains out vs. Portland
Tue, Mar 24, 2026, 2:26 PM
NBA Injury Report
Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) has been ruled out against the Trail Blazers on Wednesday.
Analysis: KPJ will be sidelined for a fourth straight game with this knee injury, which means another start for Ryan Rollins, who has been fantastic all season. Rollins should continue to shine as the primary ball handler. |

Ryan Rollins Ryan Rollins scores 13, dishes seven dimes vs. LAC
Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 7:51 PM
Ryan Rollins posted 13 points (6-of-16 FGs), four rebounds, seven assists, two steals and one three-pointer in Monday's loss to the Clippers.
Analysis: Rollins didn't have much success on Monday against a Clippers defense that forced him into five turnovers. But even when he took care of the basketball, points and three-pointers were hard to come by in his 27 minutes of action. Rollins was, however, a difference maker as a playmaker, but not enough to prevent the game from getting out of hand towards the end of the first half. A lopsided score limited Rollins' time on the floor and ultimately cost him some fantasy production. |

AJ Green AJ Green hits four threes off bench vs. Clippers
Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 7:44 PM
AJ Green added 15 points (4-of-5 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), one rebound, two assists and four three-pointers on Monday in the loss to the Clippers.
Analysis: Green was one of several Milwaukee reserves who came in and provided offensive production. As usual, his impact came from behind the three-point line; he missed just one shot from deep in his 21 minutes of game action en route to finishing as the Bucks' second leading scorer on the evening. While his shooting was impressive against the Clippers, Green isn't someone likely to be a consistent producer in fantasy leagues, given his playstyle and the role he's currently occupying. |

Gary Trent Gary Trent Jr. scores 20 points off bench vs. LAC
Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 7:39 PM
Gary Trent Jr. logged 20 points (7-of-13 FGs), one rebound, one assist and six three-pointers in the loss to the Clippers on Monday.
Analysis: Trent Jr. led the Bucks in scoring on Monday and finished as the team's only player to tally 20 or more points. For context, 14 of his points came in the fourth quarter of the game that was well out of reach for the Bucks. Yet, seeing the ball go through the hoop for Trent Jr. must have felt great, given his struggles to shoot the ball this season. He's now recorded back-to-back games with at least three three-pointers. However, Trent Jr. isn't someone fantasy managers should be looking to add. |

Pete Nance Report: Bucks convert Pete Nance to standard deal
Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 5:08 PM
Michael Scotto
HoopsHype's Michael Scotto reports that the Bucks have signed Pete Nance to a multi-year standard contract.
Analysis: Having appeared in 37 games and been active for a few others, Nance was approaching his 50-game limit as a two-way contract player. Monday's transaction was a deserved reward for the forward, who has averaged 4.5 points and 2.2 rebounds in 12.1 minutes per game this season. In a corresponding move, the Bucks waived Cam Thomas to free up a standard contract slot. |

Jericho Sims MIL starts Rollins, Dieng, Prince, Sims, Turner
Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 4:12 PM
NBA Lineups
Ryan Rollins, Ousmane Dieng, Taurean Prince, Jericho Sims and Myles Turner will start Monday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis: The Bucks will not have Kyle Kuzma for Monday's game, as he is out with a sore right Achilles tendon. He'll be replaced in the lineup by Sims, which should give the Bucks a needed boost on the glass. However, he does not bring much to the table as a scorer. |

Kyle Kuzma Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) ruled out Monday vs. LAC

Tomer Azarly
Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) will not play on Monday against the Clippers.
Analysis: As the Bucks try to put together back-to-back wins for the first time in nearly one month, they'll have to do so without one of their best scorers. Kuzma, who is averaging 13.1 points over 65 games, will miss Monday's game after scoring 20 points in the most recent win over Phoenix. As he sits on Monday, Pete Nance could see more minutes; he's seen an uptick in minutes over the past three games. |

Gary Harris Gary Harris (groin) downgraded to out vs. Clippers

Tomer Azarly
Gary Harris (groin) is out for Monday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis: Harris is out after initially being listed as probable for Monday's game. His absence does not affect fantasy basketball. |

Kyle Kuzma Kuzma questionable, Harris probable vs. Clippers
Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 6:56 PM
NBA Injury Report
Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) is questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers, while Gary Harris (groin) is probable.
Analysis: Kuzma had to leave Saturday's win over the Suns during the third quarter after experiencing tightness in his right Achilles tendon. If he can't play on Monday, Ousmane Dieng may be in line to receive the most significant boost to his fantasy value. As for Harris, he is on track to play, but his availability does not affect fantasy basketball. |
