Kevin Porter Kevin Porter Jr. scores nine points in bench role
Mon, Jan 19, 2026, 9:47 AM
Kevin Porter Jr. finished Monday's win over the Hawks with nine points (2-of-5 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), six rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one blocked shot.
Analysis: Looking to give the bench unit a spark, Bucks head coach Doc Rivers moved Porter to the bench, with Kyle Kuzma moving into the starting lineup. While he didn't score much, KPJ's seven assists were valuable. As for Kuzma, he accounted for 10 points, one rebound, one assist, one block and one three-pointer. Porter moving to the bench is disappointing from a fantasy standpoint, but managers must hold onto him. The playing time will still be there. |

Myles Turner Myles Turner hits four triples, scores 14 points
Mon, Jan 19, 2026, 9:46 AM
Myles Turner accounted for 14 points (5-of-10 FGs), eight rebounds, one assist and four three-pointers in Monday's win over the Hawks.
Analysis: Turner's making four three-pointers in Monday's victory was not a surprise, as he is one of the best perimeter-shooting bigs in the NBA. However, the veteran center was more productive on the glass than he's been for most of this season. The eight boards were the most in a game for Turner in nearly two months, having last reached that number on November 26. Unfortunately, fantasy managers can't count on Turner for consistent rebounding production. |

Bobby Portis Bobby Portis contributes 19 points vs. Atlanta
Mon, Jan 19, 2026, 9:46 AM
Bobby Portis tallied 19 points (8-of-15 FGs), three rebounds, one assist and three three-pointers in Monday's win over the Hawks.
Analysis: A double-digit scorer in five straight games, Portis' 19 points were the most he's had in a game since dropping 20 in a January 2 win over the Hornets. While there wasn't much rebounding production to be had, the veteran forward had a good afternoon shooting the basketball. Portis has only exceeded 25 minutes in two of the seven games he's played this month, and the playing time does more harm to his fantasy ceiling than being used in a reserve role. That said, he should still be rostered in 14-team leagues. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis records 21/17/6/1/1 line vs. Atlanta
Mon, Jan 19, 2026, 9:45 AM
Giannis Antetokounmpo finished Monday's win over the Hawks with 21 points (7-of-12 FGs, 7-of-12 FTs), 17 rebounds, six assists, one steal and one blocked shot.
Analysis: Antetokounmpo's playing time is still being restricted, with the Bucks' forward limited to 30 minutes on Monday. The good news for fantasy managers was that Giannis still recorded a robust stat line, with the low free-throw percentage being the only issue. However, most fantasy managers understand that the poor foul shooting comes with the territory when rostering Antetokounmpo. |

Mon, Jan 19, 2026, 8:18 AM
NBA
Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jalen Brunson, Cade Cunningham, Tyrese Maxey and Jaylen Brown were named Eastern Conference starters for next month's All-Star Game.
Analysis: With the change to the All-Star Game format, starters are announced by conference, with no regard to position.

Kyle Kuzma MIL starts Rollins, Green, Kuzma, Giannis, Turner
Mon, Jan 19, 2026, 6:39 AM
Milwaukee Bucks
Ryan Rollins, AJ Green, Kyle Kuzma, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Myles Turner will start Monday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: Having lost three straight and four of their last five games, the Bucks are making a change to the starting lineup. Kuzma is in, with Kevin Porter Jr. being moved to the bench. While KPJ's fantasy value takes a hit, Ryan Rollins' value should receive a boost since he'll be the lone primary ballhandler in the lineup. |

Kevin Porter Kevin Porter Jr. goes scoreless in blowout loss
Thu, Jan 15, 2026, 5:21 PM
Kevin Porter Jr. recorded zero points (0-of-9 FGs), one rebound and two assists in the loss to the Spurs on Thursday.
Analysis: Porter Jr. was one of several Milwaukee players to struggle against San Antonio on Thursday. However, his struggles marked a season low in points and tied season lows in assists and rebounds. The Bucks won't take the floor again until Monday against the Hawks, so Porter Jr. will have some time to regroup and look for more production in the next outing. |

Kyle Kuzma Kyle Kuzma scores 18 points off bench vs. Spurs
Thu, Jan 15, 2026, 5:15 PM
Kyle Kuzma added 18 points (6-of-17 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), three rebounds, two assists, one steal and five three-pointers in the loss to the Spurs on Thursday.
Analysis: Kuzma bounced back from a two-point outing against the Timberwolves to record one of his best scoring performances of January. The former NBA champion mostly did his damage from beyond the arc and did so on high volume, ultimately setting a new season-high in triples before finishing as Milwaukee's second-leading scorer on the night. Kuzma didn't have much production elsewhere, but regardless, had a nice bounce-back performance on Thursday. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis Antetokounmpo scores 21 in blowout loss
Thu, Jan 15, 2026, 5:07 PM
Giannis Antetokounmpo notched 21 points (7-of-12 FGs, 6-of-9 FTs), five rebounds, one assist, two steals and one three-pointer in the loss to the Spurs on Thursday.
Analysis: An uncompetitive game left Antetokounmpo with just 22 minutes of game action on Thursday. Before subbing out for the final time, the former league MVP shot well from the field and did what he could on the defensive end. Yet, his effort wasn't enough to prevent a lopsided loss. The Bucks have now lost three straight games and own a 17-24 record. Antetokounmpo will have a chance to help end the losing streak on Monday against the Hawks. |

Analysis: Initially questionable for Thursday's game, Kuzma is good to go after going through his pregame routine without issue. In his usual reserve role, Kuzma has not offered reliable fantasy value, even in deeper leagues. |

Over the last two weeks, Kuzma has averaged just 10 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 23 minutes per game. Bobby Portis Jr. could see an extra boost in playing time if Kuzma misses tonight. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo has 25 points in loss to T-Wolves
Tue, Jan 13, 2026, 4:58 PM
Giannis Antetokounmpo had 25 points (9-of-13 FGs, 7-of-14 FTs), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal in Tuesday's loss to the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Antetokounmpo and the Bucks were simply overmatched against the Timberwolves Tuesday. Milwaukee found themselves down 31 points at halftime and eventually lost by 33. Antetokounmpo was efficient with 25 points on 13 field goal attempts, but failed to get his teammates involved with seven turnovers and just five assists. He's still a fantasy superstar, but he's not going to hit his ceiling in a game as lopsided as Tuesday's. The Bucks are off until Thursday, when they take on the Spurs. |

NBA Injury Report
Myles Turner (illness) has been ruled out against the Timberwolves on Tuesday.
Analysis: Turner will miss a game for the first time this season. Bobby Portis and Jericho Sims should fill out the center minutes, with Portis as the better options for fantasy managers. Sims should be able to provide some rebounds if he gets the minutes. |

Mon, Jan 12, 2026, 10:46 AM
Myles Turner (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Turner is on the injury report as questionable with an illness. He has plenty of time to recover before game-time. If the 29-year-old center were to miss Tuesday's game, Kyle Kuzma and Bobby Portis would be candidates to move into the starting lineup. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis posts 31/8/11/1/2 line in loss to Nuggets
Sun, Jan 11, 2026, 4:42 PM
Giannis Antetokounmpo erupted for 31 points (10-of-17 FGs, 10-of-14 FTs), eight rebounds, 11 assists, one steal and two rebounds over 33 minutes in Sunday's loss to the Nuggets.
Analysis: Antetokounmpo fell two boards shy of his first triple-double of the season, recording a monster all-around performance as Milwaukee fell to 17-22 overall on the year. The omnipresent trade chatter will likely ramp up in the coming weeks, especially if the Bucks continue to struggle. The 31-year-old fantasy superstar, who has scored at least 30 points in five of his last six games, is averaging 29.2 points, 9.8 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks through 25 games this season. The Bucks are back in action with a quick two-game week that features matchups against the Timberwolves and Spurs. |

Myles Turner Turner drains three triples in loss to Nuggets
Sun, Jan 11, 2026, 4:40 PM
Myles Turner contributed 16 points (5-of-8 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs) and five rebounds over 24 minutes in Sunday's loss to the Nuggets.
Analysis: Turner, who knocked down 3-of-4 from three-point range in this one, has been an afterthought for fantasy purposes in his Bucks debut, topping 20 points just five times through 39 games. He's averaging just 12.4 points and 5.3 rebounds during that span after finishing at 15.6 points and 6.5 boards last year in his final season with the Pacers. |
