Taurean Prince Taurean Prince (neck) questionable vs. Phoenix
Mon, Mar 9, 2026, 11:28 AM
NBA Injury Report
Taurean Prince (neck) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: Prince, who underwent surgery to address a herniated disk in his neck back in November, could make his first appearance since early November on Tuesday. However, while he can provide three-pointers and steals when given rotation minutes, fantasy managers don't need to add Prince ahead of Tuesday's game. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis, Kyle Kuzma removed from injury report
Mon, Mar 9, 2026, 11:25 AM
NBA Injury Report
Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Kyle Kuzma (back) are not on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: Antetokounmpo and Kuzma were held out of Sunday's loss to the Magic, which was Milwaukee's second game in as many nights. Their returns will likely push Jericho Sims and AJ Green to the bench, where neither player has offered reliable fantasy value. |

Kevin Porter Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) to remain out vs. Phoenix
Mon, Mar 9, 2026, 11:20 AM
NBA Injury Report
Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) is out for Tuesday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: Porter will miss a fourth straight game with right knee synovitis, meaning that Ryan Rollins will continue to run the show. KPJ's absence has raised Rollins' fantasy ceiling, but he's shooting just 35 percent from the field in March. |

Cam Thomas Cam Thomas has 17 points in loss to Magic Sunday
Sun, Mar 8, 2026, 4:46 PM
Cam Thomas had 17 points (7-of-12 FGs, 1-of-3 FTs), one rebound, six assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Sunday's loss to the Magic.
Analysis: Thomas had a nice game with 17 points and six assists in 20 minutes off the bench against the Magic on Sunday. Still, the 24-year-old shooting guard's scoring has been sporadic since he was acquired by the Bucks. Thomas has scored at least 10 points in just three of his last eight games after a hot start with his new team. More consistent minutes would go a long way towards helping him regain value. |

Bobby Portis Bobby Portis has double-double in blowout loss
Sun, Mar 8, 2026, 4:40 PM
Bobby Portis had 18 points (7-of-11 FGs, 0-of-1 FTs), 10 rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and four three-pointers in Sunday's loss to the Magic.
Analysis: Portis played 28 minutes with the Bucks losing by 39. The 31-year-old power forward had a nice game with 18 points and 10 rebounds, but it wasn't enough to keep the Bucks within striking distance of the Magic. Portis was on fire from behind the three-point line making 4-of-5 attempts. He remains one of the most important bench players in the league. The Bucks have four games coming up in Week 20, starting with a matchup against the Suns on Tuesday. |

Jericho Sims MIL starts Rollins, Green, Dieng, Sims, Turner
Sun, Mar 8, 2026, 1:49 PM
Ryan Rollins, AJ Green, Ousmane Dieng, Jericho Sims and Myles Turner will start Sunday's game against the Magic.
Analysis: The Bucks won't have Giannis Antetokounmpo or Kyle Kuzma for Sunday's game, which opens up two spots in the starting lineup. Green, who Kuzma replaced in the lineup for Saturday's win over the Jazz, and Sims have been tabbed to start. |

Kyle Kuzma Kyle Kuzma (back) downgraded to out vs. Orlando
Sun, Mar 8, 2026, 1:19 PM
NBA Injury Report
Kyle Kuzma (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Magic.
Analysis: Kuzma will not be available for Sunday's game, joining Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) on the sidelines. Bobby Portis and Jericho Sims will have added importance, with one likely moving into the starting lineup. |
|
Kyle Kuzma Kyle Kuzma (back) questionable vs. Orlando
Sun, Mar 8, 2026, 7:42 AM
NBA Injury Report
Kyle Kuzma (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Magic.
Analysis: Kuzma, who returned to the starting lineup for Saturday's win over the Jazz, played 29 minutes. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) already out, the Bucks could look to Jericho Sims to fill the void if Kuzma can't play. While offensive production is limited, Sims' rebounding is even more important given Myles Turner's struggles in that area. |
|
Kevin Porter Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) remains out vs. Orlando
Sun, Mar 8, 2026, 7:38 AM
NBA Injury Report
Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Magic.
Analysis: Porter will miss a third consecutive game as he continues to recover from right knee synovitis. Ryan Rollins has returned to the starting lineup and will remain there until KPJ is available. |
|
Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) out vs. Orlando
Sun, Mar 8, 2026, 7:36 AM
NBA Injury Report
Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is out for Sunday's game against the Magic.
Analysis: Sunday's game is the second in as many nights for the Bucks, who beat the Jazz on Saturday. Giannis' absence opens a massive hole in the starting lineup, with Bobby Portis and AJ Green being potential replacements. With head coach Doc Rivers declaring that he wanted to go with a bigger lineup, which led to Green coming off the bench on Saturday, Portis may be the choice. |

Ousmane Dieng Ousmane Dieng matches career high in assists
Sat, Mar 7, 2026, 4:37 PM
Ousmane Dieng recorded 11 points (4-of-8 FGs), eight rebounds, nine assists and three three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Jazz.
Analysis: While he did not record any defensive stats, Dieng provided excellent value in the rebound and assist categories. The nine helpers matched his career-high, and the eight rebounds were one less than his total over the previous five games. The rebounding may be what keeps Dieng in the starting lineup, as that area has been a weak spot for the Bucks. If so, he's a player whose value would increase in deeper leagues as the season winds down. |

Ryan Rollins Ryan Rollins records 13/11/7/1/2 line vs. Utah
Sat, Mar 7, 2026, 4:36 PM
Ryan Rollins accounted for 13 points (5-of-15 FGs), 11 rebounds, seven assists, one steal, two blocks and three three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Jazz.
Analysis: While Rollins didn't shoot the ball well on Saturday, making only two of his six attempts from inside the arc and 3 of 9 from outside of it, his rebounding was essential. The Bucks guard led the team in rebounds while also dishing out seven assists and blocking two shots, compensating for the poor shooting. Rollins will look to offer a bit more scoring-wise on Sunday when the Bucks host the Magic. |

Kyle Kuzma Kyle Kuzma starts, scores 15 points vs. Utah
Sat, Mar 7, 2026, 4:36 PM
Kyle Kuzma tallied 15 points (5-of-11 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), two rebounds, five assists and two three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Jazz.
Analysis: Kuzma was inserted into the starting lineup on Saturday, a few days after head coach Doc Rivers made it clear that he believed the unit needed more size. While Kuzma shot the ball relatively well against the Jazz, he did not offer much as a rebounder. Neither did Myles Turner (eight points, three rebounds, two blocks and one three-pointer), whose struggles on the glass factored into his playing 18 minutes. AJ Green, who Kuzma replaced in the starting lineup, finished with seven points, one rebound, one assist and two three-pointers in 21 minutes. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis Antetokounmpo scores game-high 27 points
Sat, Mar 7, 2026, 4:35 PM
Giannis Antetokounmpo finished Saturday's win over the Jazz with 27 points (9-of-14 FGs, 9-of-15 FTs), nine rebounds, eight assists and four steals.
Analysis: After playing 25 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Hawks, Antetokounmpo logged 27 on Saturday. The Bucks are taking a measured approach to his workload and have not wavered, even in moments when the team's lead may be slipping away. That was the case on Saturday, but Milwaukee's âothersâ were able to do enough to avoid losing the lead completely before Giannis returned for crunch time. Milwaukee has one more game in Week 19, as it hosts Orlando on Sunday. |

Kyle Kuzma MIL starts Rollins, Dieng, Kuzma, Giannis, Turner
Sat, Mar 7, 2026, 1:45 PM
NBA Lineups
Ryan Rollins, Ousmane Dieng, Kyle Kuzma, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Myles Turner will start Saturday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis: Following Wednesday's loss to the Hawks, Bucks head coach Doc Rivers commented about the need for more size in the starting lineup. He has since adjusted the lineup, with Kuzma replacing AJ Green. |

Ryan Rollins Ryan Rollins records 12 assists vs. Atlanta
Wed, Mar 4, 2026, 6:11 PM
Ryan Rollins finished Wednesday's loss to the Hawks with 13 points (4-of-11 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), eight rebounds, 12 assists, three steals and two three-pointers.
Analysis: Rollins didn't have a great night shooting the basketball, but he did provide solid value in the rebound and assist categories. Starting for the injured Kevin Porter Jr. (knee), Rollins' 12 assists were the most in a game for him since November 20, when he dished out a career-high 14 against the 76ers. Rollins played 33 minutes against the Hawks, with Milwaukee's lack of point guard depth contributing to his playing more than the other four starters. The Bucks play twice more during Week 19, starting with the Jazz on Saturday. |

Ousmane Dieng Ousmane Dieng scores 14 points vs. Atlanta
Wed, Mar 4, 2026, 6:11 PM
Ousmane Dieng tallied 14 points (6-of-14 FGs), four rebounds and two three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Hawks.
Analysis: Dieng's 14 points in Wednesday's defeat weren't a shocking development. However, fantasy managers likely hoped to get more from him in the other relevant categories. Dieng's fantasy value has remained low, but he's a player for whom the Bucks will likely attempt to find more playing time during the final weeks of the regular season. He started and played 26 minutes on Wednesday, with his playing time taking a hit because the game was a blowout. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis Antetokounmpo scores game-high 24 points
Wed, Mar 4, 2026, 6:10 PM
Giannis Antetokounmpo accounted for 24 points (10-of-15 FGs, 4-of-8 FTs), five rebounds, four assists and one steal in Wednesday's loss to the Hawks.
Analysis: Wednesday's game was one that the Bucks needed, as they trailed Atlanta by four games for the final play-in spot. Unfortunately for Giannis and co., they were on the wrong end of a blowout at home. Of importance to fantasy managers was that Antetokounmpo played 25 minutes, matching his number in Monday's loss to the Celtics. The concern now is what happens if the Bucks fall even further off the pace for a play-in spot, especially if that were to happen during the playoff weeks in fantasy leagues. |

Ryan Rollins MIL starts Rollins, Green, Dieng, Giannis, Turner
Wed, Mar 4, 2026, 3:12 PM
NBA Lineups
Ryan Rollins, AJ Green, Ousmane Dieng, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Myles Turner will start Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: With Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) unavailable, Rollins is back in the Bucks' starting lineup. The change raises his fantasy ceiling, as Rollins will need to log significant minutes due to the lack of depth at point guard. |
|
Kevin Porter Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) ruled out vs. Atlanta
Wed, Mar 4, 2026, 7:55 AM
NBA Injury Report
Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) has been ruled out against the Hawks on Wednesday.
Analysis: KPJ is listed on the injury report with right knee swelling, which is the same knee that he tore his meniscus in, which forced him to miss a month early on this season. This is certainly a situation worth monitoring since it could lead to a multi-game absence. Ryan Rollins will return to the starting unit in his stead. |
