Sun, Dec 28, 2025, 9:18 AM
NBA Injury Report
Gary Trent Jr. (calf) is questionable to play against the Hornets on Monday.
Analysis: Trent has missed Milwaukee's last two games but could be back to take on Charlotte. Ryan Rollins returned to the starting lineup in the Bucks' last game, but Trent could reclaim the role if he returns. Rollins will play a larger role and be more productive than Trent regardless. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis erupts for 29 points in return vs. Bulls
Sat, Dec 27, 2025, 4:59 PM
Giannis Antetokounmpo amassed 29 points (10-of-15 FGs, 8-of-10 FTs), eight rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block over 24 minutes, leading the Bucks to a 112-103 win over the Bulls.
Analysis: Antetokounmpo didn't show any signs of rust in his first game action since December 3 after an eight-game absence due to a right calf strain. He dropped 15 points on 7-of-9 shooting in the first half and nearly reached the lofty 30-point plateau in just 24 minutes. He also uncorked a windmill dunk in the final seconds with the game in hand that drew a strong reaction from the Bulls and led to a benches-clearing incident. It seems likely he'll have a bit of a minutes restriction for at least a couple additional games but it's a welcome development for fantasy managers to get him back in the lineup. The Bucks have four games on tap next week including a pair against the Hornets in addition to the Wizards and Kings. |

Ryan Rollins Rollins hits five triples in win over Bulls
Sat, Dec 27, 2025, 4:56 PM
Ryan Rollins posted 19 points (7-of-12 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, five assists, two assists and one block over 35 minutes during Saturday's win over the Bulls.
Analysis: Rollins connected for five three-pointers, his highest single-game total since November 17. The 23-year-old guard delivered a solid stat sheet stuffing effort in this one and has contributed top-50 overall value for fantasy purposes this season, averaging 17.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.4 blocks through 32 games. |

Sat, Dec 27, 2025, 1:42 PM
NBA Lineups
Kevin Porter Jr., Ryan Rollins, AJ Green, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Myles Turner will start Saturday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Giannis is back in the Bucks' lineup after missing more than three weeks with a strained calf. His return prompts two changes to the starting lineup. Rollins has returned to the starting five to provide more shooting/playmaking off of Giannis, while Bobby Portis and Kyle Kuzma head to the bench. |

Sat, Dec 27, 2025, 12:43 PM
Drew Stevens
Gary Trent Jr. (calf) is out for Saturday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Trent is out after initially being questionable, meaning he will miss a second straight game with a left calf contusion. His absence means more playing time for Ryan Rollins, while Gary Harris may take a hit since Giannis Antetokounmpo is available. |

Gary Trent Gary Trent Jr. (calf) questionable Saturday
Sat, Dec 27, 2025, 7:59 AM
Gary Trent Jr. (calf) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Trent left Tuesday's game against the Pacers with a left calf contusion and subsequently missed Friday's game against the Grizzlies. If he remains out Saturday, Ryan Rollins and Gary Harris will continue to see rotation minutes off the bench. |

Kevin Lu
Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Antetokounmpo is officially listed as questionable with a right calf strain. An earlier report from Eric Nehm of The Athletic was that Giannis is expected to play Saturday against the Bulls as long as he clears pregame tests. The 31-year-old power forward last played December 3rd against the Pistons. |

Kevin Porter Kevin Porter Jr. posts 16/8/5 line vs. Memphis
Fri, Dec 26, 2025, 5:52 PM
Kevin Porter Jr. amassed 16 points (4-of-15 FGs, 7-of-9 FTs), eight rebounds, five assists, two steals, one block and one three-pointer in the loss to the Grizzlies on Friday.
Analysis: Porter Jr. had several highs and lows throughout Friday's loss. He finished as the Bucks' second leading scorer, but shot poorly overall and made only one of his seven three-point attempts. He also tied a team-high in assists, although his seven turnovers led to a poor assist-to-turnover ratio and cost his team several scoring opportunities. His eight turnovers were impactful and helped add to his balanced stat line. However, he left a lot of meat on the bone and will look to be more consistent on Saturday against the Bulls. |

Bobby Portis Bobby Portis notches 15/12 double-double vs. MEM
Fri, Dec 26, 2025, 5:45 PM
Bobby Portis finished Friday's loss to the Grizzlies with 15 points (7-of-14 FGs), 12 rebounds, three assists, two steals and one three-pointer.
Analysis: Portis utilized efficient shooting and tied a season-high in rebounds before earning his fourth double-double in the past six games. He was one of five Milwaukee players to score at least 15 points, and one of three Bucks to collect multiple steals. The veteran forward has now stepped into a starting role under head coach Doc Rivers, and with the role and minutes where they are currently, fantasy managers should expect Portis to remain productive moving forward. |

AJ Green AJ Green adds 20 points, six triples vs. Memphis
Fri, Dec 26, 2025, 5:38 PM
Aj Green notched 20 points (7-of-13 FGs), two rebounds, one assist, two steals and six three-pointers in the loss to the Grizzlies on Friday.
Analysis: Green did on Friday what he does best, which is light it up from beyond the arc. He broke out of a four-game shooting slump to tie a season-high in points and three-pointers, while scoring in double figures for the first time since December 3 against the Pistons. Green added a couple of steals but didn't contribute in many other areas. Still, he finished with one of his most productive performances in quite some time. |

Gary Trent Gary Trent Jr. (calf) ruled out vs. Memphis
Fri, Dec 26, 2025, 9:09 AM
NBA Injury Report
Gary Trent Jr. (calf) has been ruled out against the Grizzlies on Friday.
Analysis: Trent exited early on Tuesday, and after initially being listed as questionable, he will remain sidelined against Memphis. Ryan Rollins played 33 minutes off the bench in Milwaukee's last game and has been excellent as a reserve recently, but he could return to the starting lineup with Trent sidelined. |

Gary Trent Gary Trent Jr. (calf) questionable Friday vs. MEM
Thu, Dec 25, 2025, 12:23 PM
NBA Injury Report
Gary Trent Jr. (calf) is questionable for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Trent exited Tuesday's win over the Pacers after suffering a left calf contusion during the first quarter. Ryan Rollins played 33 minutes off the bench, while Gary Harris played 16 as part of what would become an eight-man rotation. Expect more of the same if Trent can't play on Friday. |

Ryan Rollins Ryan Rollins turns in 23/7/3/1/1 line off bench
Tue, Dec 23, 2025, 5:18 PM
Ryan Rollins provided a boost off the bench with 23 points (10-of-15 FGs), seven rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers against the Pacers on Tuesday.
Analysis: While the decision to move Rollins to a reserve role is still questionable, it hasn't slowed down his production. Since moving to the bench three games ago, he has averaged 18.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.3 triples per game. Rollins has been one of the most improved players in the NBA this season and remains a standard-league option, even as a reserve. |

Kevin Porter KPJ scores game-high 24 points in win over Pacers
Tue, Dec 23, 2025, 4:55 PM
Kevin Porter Jr. led the Bucks with 24 points (8-of-13 FGs), six rebounds, five assists, three steals and two three-pointers in a 111-94 win over the Pacers on Tuesday.
Analysis: KPJ's stellar season continued in this game. He scored exactly 24 points for a second straight game, but this time it was enough for Milwaukee to get a victory. He has only played 11 games this season, but he ranks in the top 10 in per-game value in nine-cat leagues. KPJ has thrived with Giannis Antetokounmpo sidelined, though it hasn't been enough to keep Milwaukee afloat consistently. Still, it was enough in this game, and he'll look to stay hot in Memphis on Friday. |

Gary Trent Gary Trent Jr. (calf) will not return Tuesday
Tue, Dec 23, 2025, 2:30 PM
Milwaukee Bucks
Gary Trent Jr. (calf) will not return to Tuesday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Trent suffered a left calf contusion during the first quarter of Tuesday's game and is officially done for the night. AJ Green and Gary Harris will likely absorb the available minutes, and it's also possible that Cole Anthony enters the rotation in the second half. |

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. |
