Kevin Porter Kevin Porter Jr., Myles Turner questionable
Wed, Mar 18, 2026, 12:10 PM
NBA Injury Report
Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) and Myles Turner (calf) are questionable for Thursday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis: While Porter was available for Tuesday's loss to the Cavaliers, Turner was not available due to a strained calf. Jericho Sims started on Tuesday and offered little value in that role. He would likely get another start if Turner remains out. |

Wed, Mar 18, 2026, 12:02 PM
NBA Injury Report
Kyle Kuzma (elbow) is probable for Thursday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis: Kuzma is dealing with a right elbow contusion, but he's on track to play based on the probable tag. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) out, there's more room for Kuzma, among others, to do more offensively. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis (knee) âuninterested' in being shut down
Wed, Mar 18, 2026, 9:06 AM
Eric Nehm
Giannis Antetokounmpo âremains uninterestedâ in being shut down despite the Bucks approaching him about it.
Analysis: Milwaukee believes it will be mutually beneficial if he sits out the rest of the season, likely since it would help improve their lottery odds. However, Antetokounmpo wants to play. He's set to be re-evaluated early next week after being diagnosed with a left knee hyperextension and bone bruise. This clear tension will certainly continue to fan the flames of trade rumors that have surrounded Giannis and the Bucks for most of the season. |

Ousmane Dieng Ousmane Dieng scores 19 points in return
Tue, Mar 17, 2026, 6:01 PM
Ousmane Dieng provided a boost off the bench with 19 points (7-of-12 FGs), five rebounds, one assist, one steal and five three-pointers on Tuesday against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Following a two-game absence with an illness, Dieng returned to the lineup for this game, though he didn't remain in the starting lineup after starting the six games prior to his absence. However, he still played 30 minutes off the bench and was able to pour in the points from beyond the arc. Dieng should continue to play big minutes for the rest of the season, especially with Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) sidelined for at least the next week. |

Kevin Porter Kevin Porter Jr. puts up 25/3/10 line vs. Cavs
Tue, Mar 17, 2026, 5:57 PM
Kevin Porter Jr. led the Bucks with 25 points (8-of-15 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), three rebounds, 10 assists, two blocks and one three-pointer in a 123-116 loss to the Cavaliers on Tuesday.
Analysis: After missing Sunday's game against the Pacers, which was the second night of a back-to-back, KPJ returned to take on Cleveland. He had his first double-double and highest-scoring performance of the month, though it wasn't enough to get the win over his former team. Still, it was a strong outing for KPJ and his best since he returned from a four-game absence with the knee injury. He'll look to stay hot in Utah on Thursday. |

Tue, Mar 17, 2026, 1:42 PM
Milwaukee Bucks
Kevin Porter Jr., Ryan Rollins, Taurean Prince, Kyle Kuzma and Myles Turner will start against the Cavaliers on Tuesday.
Analysis: KPJ's return will push AJ Green back to the bench, while Prince and Sims will fill in for Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and Myles Turner (calf). Giannis is set to miss at least one week, so either Prince or Sims could remain with the opening group for multiple games. |

Shams Charania
Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) will be re-evaluated in one week, according to ESPN's Shams Charania.
Analysis: Antetokounmpo has been diagnosed with a left knee hyperextension and bone bruise, according to a report from Charania. The Bucks will re-evaluate their superstar power forward in one week. Jericho Sims should move into the starting lineup with Antetokounmpo out, but this is a bad injury for fantasy managers to have to deal with during the fantasy playoffs. |

NBA Injury Report
Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) has been ruled out against the Cavaliers on Tuesday.
Analysis: Giannis injured his ankle during Sunday's game against Indiana, and the injury will keep him sidelined against Cleveland. Jericho Sims should make a return to the starting unit with Antetokounmpo unavailable. |

NBA Injury Report
Ryan Rollins (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Rollins is a late addition to the injury report, and he's in danger of sitting out Tuesday's Central Division showdown. If Rollins is ultimately ruled out, Kevin Porter Jr. should see increased run. |

Mon, Mar 16, 2026, 12:38 PM
NBA Injury Report
Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) is not on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Porter did not play in Sunday's win over the Pacers, which was Milwaukee's second game in as many days. Who his return bumps from the starting lineup depends on the availability of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Ousmane Dieng, both of whom are questionable.

Mon, Mar 16, 2026, 12:26 PM
NBA Injury Report
Ousmane Dieng (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Dieng has missed the last two games due to illness. AJ Green was the fifth starter for Sunday's win over the Pacers, scoring 12 points on 4-of-7 shooting from beyond the arc. He's only worth a look in leagues where managers have a serious need for three-point production. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) questionable vs. CLE
Mon, Mar 16, 2026, 12:17 PM
NBA Injury Report
Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Antetokounmpo was injured during Sunday's win over the Pacers, and he likely dodged a bullet, as there were initial concerns about a knee injury. The Bucks' star has been diagnosed with a sprained left ankle. If Antetokounmpo can't play on Tuesday, Jericho Sims could return to the starting lineup. |

Ryan Rollins Ryan Rollins has 20 points, three threes in win
Sun, Mar 15, 2026, 11:59 AM
Ryan Rollins had 20 points (8-of-12 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, seven assists, three steals and three three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: With Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) out Sunday, Rollins stepped into the starting lineup and managed 36 minutes of action. The 23-year-old point guard is an important player for the Bucks anyway, but his fantasy ceiling is raised when he's inserted into the starting lineup. Rollins has provided fourth-round per game value over the last two weeks. |
|
Bobby Portis Bobby Portis has 29 points, 10 boards in win
Sun, Mar 15, 2026, 11:55 AM
Bobby Portis had 29 points (11-of-21 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), 10 rebounds, three assists, two steals and six three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: Portis and Giannis Antetokounmpo carried the Bucks' offense in this one as the duo combined for 60 points in the win over the Pacers on Sunday. Even with Antetokounmpo active, Portis saw massive usage in this game. He's provided sixth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Bucks have three games upcoming in Week 21, starting with a matchup against the Cavaliers on Tuesday. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo had 31 points (11-of-22 FGs, 9-of-13 FTs), 14 rebounds and eight assists in the Bucks' 134-123 victory over the Pacers on Sunday.
Analysis: Antetokounmpo returned from a one-game absence and went right back to providing first-round value. The 31-year-old power forward briefly headed to the locker room in the second half for a leg issue, but returned to the bench and said after the game he felt he could've returned to the game. The Bucks have three games upcoming in Week 21, starting with a matchup against the Cavaliers on Tuesday. |
