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. |

Thu, Jan 15, 2026, 1:01 PM
NBA Injury Report
Kyle Kuzma (illness) is available for Thursday's game against the Spurs.
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. |

NBA Injury Report
Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) is available to play Thursday vs. the Spurs
Analysis: Antetokounmpo was upgraded from probable to available ahead of Thursday's contest, giving the Bucks their best offensive threat against the Spurs. The former league MVP is averaging 29.1 points, 9.7 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game so far this season. He'll have a chance to outproduce another top fantasy basketball option in Victor Wembanyama. |

Thu, Jan 15, 2026, 8:25 AM
Kyle Kuzma (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Kuzma has taken a backseat in Milwaukee with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Porter Jr. both back in the starting lineup. 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. |

NBA Injury Report
Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) is probable for Thursday's game against the Spurs.

NBA Injury Report
Myles Turner (illness) is not on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Turner did not play in Tuesday's loss to the Timberwolves, resulting in Bobby Portis making a spot start. With Turner dropped from the injury report, he'll occupy his usual place in the starting lineup on Thursday. |

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. |

Bobby Portis Bobby Portis starting in place of Myles Turner
Tue, Jan 13, 2026, 1:43 PM
Milwaukee Bucks
Kevin Porter Jr., Ryan Rollins, AJ Green, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis will start against the Timberwolves on Tuesday.
Analysis: Myles Turner (illness) is sidelined for the first time this season, which results in Portis filling the starting center role. Portis has started five games this season and has scored in double figures in all of them while also adding two double-doubles in those games. |

Myles Turner Myles Turner (illness) ruled out vs. Minnesota
Tue, Jan 13, 2026, 12:20 PM
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. |

Myles Turner Myles Turner (illness) questionable Tuesday
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. |

Sun, Jan 11, 2026, 12:59 PM
Jim Owczarski
Kevin Porter Jr. (hip) is available for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.
Analysis: Porter was initially probable for Sunday's game, so the status upgrade is unsurprising. He'll occupy his usual place in the starting lineup as the Bucks look to end Week 12 with a win. |

Kevin Porter Kevin Porter Jr. (hip) probable Sunday vs. Denver
Sat, Jan 10, 2026, 11:48 AM
Milwaukee Bucks
Kevin Porter Jr. (hip) is probable for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.
Analysis: Porter is dealing with a right hip contusion, but the good news is that he's probable on the Bucks' initial injury report. If he's unable to play, Gary Trent Jr. could be the replacement in the starting lineup, while Ryan Rollins will take on a larger role as Milwaukee's primary playmaker. |

Bobby Portis Bobby Portis tallies double-double vs. Lakers
Fri, Jan 9, 2026, 7:09 PM
Bobby Portis accounted for 11 points (5-of-12 FGs), 12 rebounds, three assists and one three-pointer in Friday's win over the Lakers.
Analysis: Portis has now recorded six double-doubles this season, with all having been recorded since December 14. Over the past month, the Bucks' forward has offered top-75 per-game value in eight-cat formats. By comparison, Myles Turner (eight points, six rebounds and two three-pointers) has not been a top-150 player during this period. The combination of Portis' production and the underwhelming return offered by Turner makes the former worth the risk in some 12-team leagues. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis Antetokounmpo records 21/6/5/2/2 line
Fri, Jan 9, 2026, 7:08 PM
Giannis Antetokounmpo amassed 21 points (9-of-11 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks in Friday's win over the Lakers.
Analysis: Giannis came up with the biggest defensive play of Friday's game, as he poked the ball away from LeBron James in the final seconds to prevent the Lakers' forward from attempting a potential game-tying layup. While Antetokounmpo's shot volume was low, he shot the ball efficiently from the field and the foul line. Having seemingly put to rest any rumors regarding his future in Milwaukee, the question now is what (if anything) the Bucks will look to do to strengthen the roster around Antetokounmpo before the trade deadline. Regardless of the answer, he'll still provide excellent fantasy value. |

Kevin Porter Kevin Porter Jr. posts 22/5/6/4/1 line vs. LAL
Fri, Jan 9, 2026, 7:08 PM
Kevin Porter Jr. finished Friday's win over the Lakers with 22 points (7-of-14 FGs, 7-of-10 FTs), five rebounds, six assists, four steals, one block and one three-pointer.
Analysis: After returning from a sprained ankle that sidelined him for over a month, Porter has exceeded the expectations of many fantasy managers. The Bucks' guard has been a top-20 player in eight- and nine-cat formats, well above his Yahoo! ADP (109). On Friday, Porter joined Giannis Antetokounmpo as the only Bucks players with at least 20 points, and he recorded a complete stat line with solid percentages. Rostered in 71 percent of Yahoo! leagues, KPJ is worth scooping up if available in shallow leagues. |

Ryan Rollins Ryan Rollins scores 16 points Wednesday vs. GSW
Wed, Jan 7, 2026, 6:54 PM
Ryan Rollins had 16 points (7-of-13 FGs), seven rebounds, four assists, one steal and two three-pointers in the loss to the Warriors on Wednesday.
Analysis: Rollins followed up a relatively mediocre performance against the Kings with a pretty solid outing on Wednesday against the Warriors. By way of efficient shooting, he concluded as Milwaukee's second-leading scorer, and he also finished second on the team in total rebounds. Add in Rollins' contributions as a passer, and his pair of three-pointers, and you get what was a productive performance as far as fantasy basketball goes. He'll have a chance to log another productive game on Friday against the Lakers. |
