Kyle Kuzma Kyle Kuzma scores 15 points off bench vs. Pacers
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 4:07 PM
Kyle Kuzma provided a boost off the bench with 15 points (5-of-10 FGs), five rebounds and one three-pointer against the Pacers on Monday.
Analysis: After scoring 22 points off the bench in the Bucks' last game, Kuzma was able to have another decent performance against Indiana. The discouraging part is that he only played 16 minutes. Kuzma struggled during the second half of last season after being sent to the Bucks, though he was part of the starting lineup. Now, he's come off the bench in almost every game this season. He's playing better, but if he isn't getting the opportunity, his upside is limited. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo beats Pacers with fadeaway jumper
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 3:57 PM
Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks with 33 points (14-of-21 FGs, 4-of-9 FTs), 13 rebounds, five assists, two steals and one three-pointer in a 117-115 win over the Pacers on Monday.
Analysis: It was another spectacular night for Antetokounmpo despite another rough night from the free throw line, and it ended with a contested fadeaway at the buzzer. Giannis will continue to stuff the stat sheet every night for Milwaukee; he has scored at least 30 points in five of his six appearances and has a double-double in all but one game this season. This was the first leg of a back-to-back, so there is a chance that Antetokounmpo doesn't play against the Raptors on Tuesday. Keep an eye on the injury report. |

Myles Turner Turner scores nine points in return to Indiana
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 3:50 PM
Myles Turner made his return to Indiana on Monday and contributed nine points (3-of-7 FGs), seven rebounds, one assist, five blocks and two three-pointers against the Pacers.
Analysis: Turner started his return to Indiana off hot, scoring seven points in the first five minutes. However, he only scored one more bucket over the remainder of the game. Turner has started his Bucks tenure off slowly, but he was able to set a new season-high for swats in this game. He needs to turn things around on offense in order for him to play to his fourth-round ADP in Yahoo! leagues. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo (knee) available vs. Indiana
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 12:03 PM
Milwaukee Bucks
Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) has been upgraded to available to play against the Pacers on Monday.
Analysis: As expected, Giannis will be good to go against Indiana. Antetokounmpo is coming off posting a 26/11/8 line in a loss to the Kings and should be in for a dominant night against the Pacers, who have allowed 121.2 points per game this season. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) probable Monday
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 11:28 AM
Milwaukee Bucks
Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is probable to play on Monday against the Pacers.
Analysis: Antetokounmpo was also listed as questionable prior to Saturday's game against the Kings before ultimately taking the floor and logging a 26/11/8 line in the loss. If he's active against Indiana, the former league MVP could continue his dominance on the season ??" he's averaging 34.2 points, 13.4 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.2 blocks and 0.8 steals through five games. Kyle Kuzma would likely replace Antetokounmpo in the starting lineup if he is unavailable to play. |

Ryan Rollins Ryan Rollins dishes out eight assists vs. SAC
Sat, Nov 1, 2025, 2:34 PM
Ryan Rollina finished Saturday's loss to the Kings with 16 points (8-of-13 FGs), four rebounds, eight assists and two steals.
Analysis: Having recorded career-high point totals in his last two games, Rollins was bound to cool down eventually. However, he still shot over 50 percent from the field on Saturday and recorded eight assists, matching his season high. Rollins is a virtual lock to remain in the starting lineup as long as Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) is out, and the job may be his even after KPJ returns. He's played that well, and Porter will be out for at least another four weeks. |

Bobby Portis Bobby Portis posts 16/6/2 line vs. Sacramento
Sat, Nov 1, 2025, 2:31 PM
Bobby Portis recorded 16 points (6-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, two assists and two three-pointers in Saturday's loss to the Kings.
Analysis: Even with Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) back in the Bucks' lineup, Portis' playing time increased on Saturday, playing 23 minutes after logging 16 in Thursday's win over the Warriors. The reason for the increase in playing time was Myles Turner (9/3/0/2 with three three-pointers) getting into early foul trouble, which limited him to 24 minutes. While a fixture in the Bucks' rotation, Portis' opportunities are dictated primarily by Turner's production, which limits his fantasy ceiling. |

Kyle Kuzma Kyle Kuzma gets hot in fourth, finishes with 22
Sat, Nov 1, 2025, 2:27 PM
Kyle Kuzma accounted for 22 points (9-of-13 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), one rebound and one assist in Saturday's loss to the Kings.
Analysis: While Kuzma is shooting 55 percent from the field this season, his limited rebounding and defensive production lower his fantasy ceiling considerably. However, he can come through with the occasional big scoring night, which happened on Saturday. Spanning the third and fourth quarters, Kuzma went on a run in which he scored 16 straight Bucks points. However, he didn't provide much beyond the points and percentages, remaining a player only worthy of a look in deep leagues. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis (knee) records 26/11/8/1/1 line vs. SAC
Sat, Nov 1, 2025, 2:22 PM
Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) accumulated 26 points (8-of-13 FGs, 9-of-14 FTs), 11 rebounds, eight assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in Saturday's loss to the Kings.
Analysis: Giannis had a chance to send Saturday's game into overtime after rebounding a free throw intentionally missed by teammate AJ Green. Unfortunately for the Bucks star, he was stripped of the ball by Zach LaVine just before time expired, ending Milwaukee's four-game win streak. However, despite a sore knee, Antetokounmpo finished two assists shy of a triple-double and recorded a complete stat line. The Bucks play four games during Week 3, beginning with a Monday/Tuesday back-to-back. Given Giannis' lingering knee soreness, fantasy managers need to consider the possibility of him getting an injury management night. |

Cole Anthony Cole Anthony ejected during fourth quarter
Sat, Nov 1, 2025, 1:12 PM
Cole Anthony was ejected from Saturday's game against the Kings with 10:40 remaining in the fourth quarter.
Analysis: Anthony picked up his second technical foul when he dismissively waved at an official after being called for a foul. He finished with three points (1-of-4 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), two rebounds and five assists in 13 minutes off the bench. Anthony's exit means the Bucks will likely finish Saturday's game with a nine-man rotation instead of ten. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) to play Saturday
Sat, Nov 1, 2025, 9:35 AM
Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Giannis missed Thursday's game against the Warriors with a knee injury, but is available to return Saturday against the Kings. The Greek Freak is averaging 36 points per game, 14 rebounds per game and seven assists per game in four games this year. Kyle Kuzma can be safely dropped in most formats. |

Kevin Porter Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) to miss four weeks
Fri, Oct 31, 2025, 4:00 PM
Milwaukee Bucks
Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) will undergo a minor arthroscopic procedure that will sideline him for four weeks.
Analysis: Porter suffered a right meniscus injury during an on-court return-to-play workout on Thursday. According to the Bucks, he'll undergo a minor arthroscopic procedure and be out for another four weeks. The strategy for fantasy managers is simple: add Ryan Rollins if he's still sitting on the waiver wire. Rostered in 37 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he's providing top-25 value in nine-cat formats while averaging 31.1 minutes per game. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) questionable Saturday
Fri, Oct 31, 2025, 11:43 AM
Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Giannis missed Thursday's game against the Warriors with a knee injury. Kyle Kuzma replaced him in the starting lineup and had 10 points and eight rebounds. Kuzma and Bobby Portis would stand as the biggest beneficiaries if Antetokounmpo misses another game, but hopefully he can return sooner rather than later. |

Myles Turner Myles Turner hits three triples, scores 17 points
Thu, Oct 30, 2025, 5:47 PM
Myles Turner tallied 17 points (7-of-12 FGs), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three three-pointers in Thursday's win over the Warriors.
Analysis: Turner's gotten off to a slow start in Milwaukee, as he entered Thursday averaging just 8.3 points per game. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) unavailable, Turner had his most productive night of the season, recording highs in points and three-pointers. The good news for fantasy managers is that he's blocked at least two shots in all five games, helping Turner maintain top-100 status in nine-cat formats despite shooting 38 percent from the field. |

Kyle Kuzma Kyle Kuzma posts 10/8/4/1 line in spot start
Thu, Oct 30, 2025, 5:43 PM
Kyle Kuzma finished Thursday's win over the Warriors with 10 points (4-of-10 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, four assists, one steal and one three-pointer.
Analysis: Kuzma was tabbed to replace Giannis Antetokounmpo in the Bucks' starting lineup on Thursday, and he provided solid value in rebounds and assists. Unfortunately, Kuzma didn't score much, but that had more to do with Ryan Rollins' explosion than the forward struggling. With the Bucks returning to action on Saturday against the Kings, Giannis could be back on the floor. If so, there won't be much of a need to hold onto Kuzma in most leagues. |

Ryan Rollins Ryan Rollins torches Warriors, scores 32 points
Thu, Oct 30, 2025, 4:42 PM
Ryan Rollins finished Thursday's win over the Warriors with 32 points (13-of-21 FGs, 1-of-3 FTs), three rebounds, eight assists and five three-pointers.
Analysis: Already without Kevin Porter Jr., the Bucks were forced to play Thursday's game without Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee). Rollins understood the assignment and had the best night of his NBA career. The 2022 second-round pick, who began his NBA career with the Warriors, notched his first 30-point game and did so efficiently. Rostered in 29 percent of Yahoo! leagues, removing Rollins from the starting lineup will be difficult once Porter is healthy enough to play. Rollins is a must-roster player, even with the Bucks only playing once more this week. |

Kyle Kuzma MIL starts Rollins, Green, Trent, Kuzma, Turner
Thu, Oct 30, 2025, 1:39 PM
NBA Lineups
Ryan Rollins, AJ Green, Gary Trent Jr., Kyle Kuzma and Myles Turner will start Thursday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: The Bucks are without Giannis Antetokounmpo for Thursday's game, as he is dealing with a sore knee. Kuzma, who struggled as a starter last season after being acquired at the February trade deadline, will fill the resulting void. While the opportunity raises his fantasy ceiling, Kuzma can be inefficient when given a high-usage role. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis (knee) downgraded to out Thursday vs. GSW
Thu, Oct 30, 2025, 1:12 PM
Eric Nehm
Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is out for Thursday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Giannis was initially probable for Thursday's game, so his being downgraded to out is surprising. Kyle Kuzma, Taurean Prince or Bobby Portis is the most likely replacement in the starting lineup, with the former being the player who deep-league managers should target for streaming purposes. |

Kevin Porter Kevin Porter Jr. (ankle) to remain out Thursday
Wed, Oct 29, 2025, 10:51 AM
Milwaukee Bucks
Kevin Porter Jr. (ankle) is out for Thursday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Porter has not played since injuring his ankle during the regular season opener, and Thursday's game will be the fourth he's missed. Ryan Rollins has filled in admirably as the starting point guard and is worth rostering until KPJ returns. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis (knee) probable Thursday vs. Golden State
Wed, Oct 29, 2025, 10:49 AM
Milwaukee Bucks
Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is probable for Thursday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Giannis is on the Bucks' injury report, but he is expected to play on Thursday. The star forward has been elite to begin the season, and Kevin Porter Jr.'s absence due to a sprained ankle has resulted in more time on the ball for Antetokounmpo. |
