Pete Nance Pete Nance (ankle) questionable vs. Orlando
Tue, Feb 10, 2026, 10:32 AM
NBA Injury Report
Pete Nance (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Magic.
Analysis: Nance, who played 10 minutes in Monday's loss to the Magic, suffered a sprained left ankle. His potential absence would likely lead to Bobby Portis and Kyle Kuzma playing more, as neither played 20 minutes on Monday. |

Cam Thomas Cam Thomas plays 13 minutes in Bucks debut Monday
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 4:27 PM
Cam Thomas finished Monday's loss to the Magic with four points (1-of-5 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), one rebound and one assist.
Analysis: One day after his signing was made official, Thomas made his Bucks debut. As was the case in Brooklyn, he came off the bench, playing 13 minutes. The production wasn't there, but the Bucks do have two more games before the All-Star break. There's no need to roster Thomas in most leagues, but some practice time with his new teammates could prove helpful after the break. |

Myles Turner Myles Turner records 13 points, five blocks
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 4:26 PM
Myles Turner accumulated 13 points (5-of-9 FGs, 1-of-5 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, five blocks and two three-pointers in Monday's loss to the Magic.
Analysis: After totaling 52 points and attempting 32 shots in his final two games of January, Turner has recorded 11 shots or fewer in each of his last five. The good news for fantasy managers is that the Bucks center can offer solid value in other categories, most notably blocks. However, Turner's production has also tailed off in that category since the calendar flipped to February. He's totaled eight blocks in five games, six fewer than his total in Milwaukee's final three games of January. Hopefully, Turner finishes the pre-break portion of the schedule with another good night in the blocks category on Wednesday against Orlando. |

AJ Green AJ Green hits four triples, scores 15 points
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 4:26 PM
AJ Green produced 15 points (4-of-8 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), six rebounds, one assist and four three-pointers in Monday's loss to the Magic.
Analysis: Having made at least four three-pointers in four straight games, Green has knocked down 20 in Milwaukee's first five contests of February. Those who are rostering the shooter for his three-point production received a nice bonus in the rebound category on Monday, as that hasn't been the norm. Only those who need three-pointers should roster Green. |

Kevin Porter Kevin Porter Jr. scores game-high 28 points
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 4:25 PM
Kevin Porter Jr. tallied 28 points (10-of-19 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), four rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Monday's loss to the Magic.
Analysis: While he shot 1-of-5 from beyond the arc, Porter was highly efficient inside of it on Monday. In addition to shooting 9-of-14 from two, the Bucks' guard attempted a team-high seven free throws. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) out, even more of the offense runs through Porter and Ryan Rollins (14 points, six rebounds, three assists, two steals and two three-pointers). While that raises the fantasy ceiling of both players, they'll need to clean up the turnovers in Wednesday's rematch. Porter was responsible for five turnovers while Rollins racked up six. |

Cam Thomas Shams: Bucks sign Cam Thomas
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 11:13 AM
Shams Charania
ESPN's Shams Charania reports that the Bucks have signed Cam Thomas.
Analysis: Just a few days after being waived by the Nets, Thomas has reportedly found a new home. While a player capable of putting up big scoring numbers, the guard has not shown much ability to make plays for others or defend consistently. He'll get the opportunity to do that in Milwaukee, hopefully using it as a springboard into free agency in the summer. Thomas' signing could eventually leave a dent in the playing time for Ryan Rollins, A.J. Green, and Kevin Porter Jr. |

Kyle Kuzma Kyle Kuzma (calf) removed from injury report
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 10:20 AM
NBA Injury Report
Kyle Kuzma (calf) is not on the injury report for Monday's game against the Magic.
Analysis: Kuzma did not play in Friday's win over the Pacers due to a sore left calf. Jericho Sims is the player most likely to head to the bench, and that would not have a significant effect on fantasy basketball. |

Kevin Porter Kevin Porter Jr. has 23/7/8 line Friday vs. IND
Fri, Feb 6, 2026, 4:49 PM
Kevin Porter Jr. totaled 23 points (10-of-20 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), seven rebounds, eight assists and three steals in Friday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: Porter Jr.'s second game back from injury was even more impressive than his first. He flirted with a triple-double while leading Milwaukee in scoring along the way. Poor three-point shooting on Friday was about the only blemish, which is a notable one, as he's now gone 0-of-13 from deep over his last four appearances. If Porter Jr. can regain his form from beyond the arc, it'll only make him a more valuable fantasy basketball option going forward. |

Ryan Rollins Ryan Rollins posts 22 points, four triples vs. IND
Fri, Feb 6, 2026, 4:43 PM
Ryan Rollins added 22 points (9-of-19 FGs), four rebounds, four assists and four three-pointers in the win over the Pacers on Friday.
Analysis: Rollins extended his streak of 20-point games to four on Friday, utilizing the three-point shot to land most of his scoring production, while joining Kevin Porter Jr. and Bobby Portis as the only Bucks players to reach the 20-point mark against the Pacers. Rollins has played many different roles and been cast into a variety of starting lineups this season, but has remained productive through it all. Given his sustained success, there's no reason for fantasy managers to think Rollins won't remain productive past the All-Star Break and beyond. |

Bobby Portis Bobby Portis (hip) returns, scores 21 off bench
Fri, Feb 6, 2026, 4:37 PM
Bobby Portis (hip) tallied 21 points (9-of-18 FGs), six rebounds, one assist and three three-pointers in Friday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: The Bucks secured a third straight win on Friday, with Portis' scoring playing a key role. In his return from a two-game absence, he finished as one of three Bucks players to score at least 20 points, as he used efficient shooting to reach his high point total. The veteran forward, with Kyle Kuzma (calf) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) both currently sidelined, will continue to function as one of Milwaukee's most reliable frontcourt options. His offensive production may be key against the Magic on Monday. |

Kevin Porter MIL starts Rollins, Porter, Green, Sims, Turner
Fri, Feb 6, 2026, 1:41 PM
Milwaukee Bucks
Ryan Rollins, Kevin Porter Jr., AJ Green, Jericho Sims and Myles Turner will start Friday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: After coming off the bench in his first game back from an oblique injury on Wednesday, Porter is in the starting lineup. He fills the void left by the recently traded Amir Coffey, who's now in Phoenix. The other change is Sims, who is promoted into the starting lineup, pushing Kyle Kuzma to the bench. Sims doesn't offer the highest fantasy ceiling, but Myles Turner's limitations as a rebounder mean that he'll have chances to provide added value in that category. |

Gary Harris Gary Harris (hamstring) available vs. Indiana
Fri, Feb 6, 2026, 12:50 PM
NBA Injury Report
Gary Harris (hamstring) is available for Friday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Harris is back after a four-game absence. His return likely means fewer minutes for Gary Trent Jr., but neither player has done enough to affect fantasy basketball this season. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Doc: Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) close to return
Fri, Feb 6, 2026, 12:47 PM
Jackson Gross
According to Bucks head coach Doc Rivers, Giannis is âcloseâ to returning to action.
Analysis: While Giannis gave himself a timeline of four to six weeks for his return, the Bucks offered no such guarantees. Based on Rivers' words on Friday, the Bucks star may be able to return sooner than anticipated. Just as notable for fantasy managers was Rivers' shooting down the notion that the Bucks would consider shutting down their star forward. For now, managers should take Doc at his word but also remain ready to pivot if Giannis' minutes decline sharply. |

Bobby Portis Bobby Portis (hip) available Friday vs. Indiana
Fri, Feb 6, 2026, 12:22 PM
Tony East
Bobby Portis (hip) is available to play on Friday against the Pacers.
Analysis: Portis is good to go for Friday's contest, which is great news for a Bucks team already without frontcourt members Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Kyle Kuzma (calf). Portis figures to slot in alongside Myles Turner in the opening unit, should have several opportunities to produce, and ultimately could log a nice final stat line. Friday will mark his return from a two-game absence. |

Kyle Kuzma Kyle Kuzma (calf) out Friday vs. Pacers
Fri, Feb 6, 2026, 8:35 AM
NBA Injury Report
Kyle Kuzma (calf) is out for Friday's matchup with the Pacers.
Analysis: Kuzma is dealing with left calf soreness, and it will cost him at least one game. Bobby Portis (hip) is questionable, and if he's able to take the court, he should replace Kuz in the starting lineup. If Portis ends up sitting out, Pete Nance could join the first unit, and new addition Ousmane Dieng could see some run as well. |
|
Gary Harris Gary Harris (hamstring) questionable vs. Indiana
Thu, Feb 5, 2026, 12:45 PM
NBA Injury Report
Gary Harris (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Harris has missed the last four games, which has led to more minutes for Gary Trent Jr. Besides that, Harris' availability does not affect fantasy basketball. |
|
Bobby Portis Bobby Portis (hip) questionable vs. Indiana
Thu, Feb 5, 2026, 12:42 PM
NBA Injury Report
Bobby Portis (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Portis did not play in Wednesday's win over the Pelicans, resulting in Amir Coffey moving into the starting lineup. However, Coffey played 25 minutes while Jericho Sims played 28 off the bench. The former is the safer streaming option if Portis remains out. |

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. |
