Ryan Rollins Ryan Rollins posts 26/10/7/3 line vs. Phoenix
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 7:42 PM
Ryan Rollins accumulated 26 points (10-of-19 FGs, 3-of-6 FTs), 10 rebounds, seven assists, three steals and three three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Suns.
Analysis: Rollins had a big night in Phoenix, finishing three assists shy of a triple-double. His floater with 23.8 seconds remaining gave the Bucks a three-point lead at the time. While Rollins would miss the ensuing free throw, one stop later, he was able to return to the foul line and seal the victory. With Kevin Porter Jr. and Giannis Antetokounmpo out, and Kyle Kuzma exiting in the third quarter, more responsibility fell upon Rollins' shoulders, and he handled the situation well. |

Kyle Kuzma Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) exits win after 24 minutes
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 7:41 PM
Eric Nehm
Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) accounted for 20 points (7-of-12 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, one assist, one block and three three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Suns.
Analysis: Due to tightness in his right Achilles tendon, Kuzma exited Saturday's game with just over five minutes remaining in the third quarter. That was an unfortunate event for him and fantasy basketball, as the Bucks' forward was playing well at the time. Kuzma didn't offer much beyond points and three-pointers, but he has a slightly higher ceiling in points leagues while the Bucks are without Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Bucks play four games in Week 22, starting with the Clippers on Monday. |

Kevin Porter KPJ, Portis, Harris downgraded to out vs. Phoenix
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 2:36 PM
NBA Injury Report
Kevin Porter Jr. (knee), Bobby Portis (ribs) and Gary Harris (groin) are out for Saturday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: Porter and Portis not playing raises the fantasy ceilings of multiple players, including Ryan Rollins and Ousmane Dieng. Look for those two to figure prominently in the lineup, with Rollins already rostered in most 12-team leagues. Harris' absence does not affect fantasy basketball. |

Kevin Porter Kevin Porter Jr., Gary Harris questionable vs. PHX
Fri, Mar 20, 2026, 2:03 PM
NBA Injury Report
Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) and Gary Harris (groin) are questionable for Saturday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: Porter's availability is far more impactful on fantasy basketball, given how productive he has been this season. Ryan Rollins has been the starting point guard when KPJ sits, raising his fantasy ceiling. As for Harris, his status does not affect fantasy basketball, as he is not guaranteed rotation minutes when available. |

Gary Trent Gary Trent Jr. (adductor) absent from injury report
Fri, Mar 20, 2026, 1:58 PM
NBA Injury Report
Gary Trent Jr. (adductor) is not on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: Trent exited Thursday's loss to the Jazz prematurely due to an adductor injury, but his absence from the injury report for Saturday means he's good to go. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) unavailable, Trent may remain in the rotation due to the need for offense, but he is not a player worth streaming. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Bucks won't let Giannis play out final season
Fri, Mar 20, 2026, 5:03 AM
Ramona Shelburne
Bucks co-owner Wes Edens told ESPN Giannis Antetokounmpo will either be extended or traded this offseason.
Analysis: It's unclear how close the Bucks were to trading Antetokounmpo over the past year, but Edens wasn't mincing his words in an interview with ESPN's Ramona Shelburne. The Bucks co-owner made it clear that the organization has no plans to let the 31-year-old power forward play out the last season on his contract without an extension. Until a deal is made, expect trade rumors to continue to swirl around Antetokounmpo as we head into the summer. |

Ousmane Dieng Ousmane Dieng turns in 13/1/1/2/1 line vs. Utah
Thu, Mar 19, 2026, 6:05 PM
Ousmane Dieng started on Thursday and contributed 13 points (5-of-7 FGs), one rebound, one assist, two steals, one block and three three-pointers against the Jazz.
Analysis: Dieng returned to the starting lineup for this game after coming off the bench in his return from a two-game absence on Tuesday. He was one of the few bright spots in a blowout loss for Milwaukee, and he has been productive since being traded by the Thunder at the deadline. Things are spiraling for the Bucks, but Dieng should continue to play a large role and be a solid option for fantasy managers. |

Gary Trent Gary Trent Jr. (adductor) exits early vs. Utah
Thu, Mar 19, 2026, 6:01 PM
Milwaukee Bucks
Gary Trent Jr. (adductor) exited early from Thursday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis: Trent played 17 minutes before his early departure, and his status for Saturday's game against the Suns is certainly in question. However, he wasn't part of the rotation in four of their previous five games entering this matchup with Utah, so his status won't have much of an impact on the Bucks' rotation. |

Ousmane Dieng MIL starts Rollins, Green, Kuzma, Dieng, Turner
Thu, Mar 19, 2026, 2:44 PM
NBA Lineups
Ryan Rollins, AJ Green, Kyle Kuzma, Ousmane Dieng and Myles Turner will start Thursday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis: Rollins and Kuzma are the only holdovers from the lineup that started Tuesday's loss to the Cavaliers. Green, Dieng and Turner complete the quintet, with Kevin Porter Jr. unavailable and Taurean Prince and Jericho Sims moved to the bench. |
|
Myles Turner Myles Turner, Kyle Kuzma upgraded to available
Thu, Mar 19, 2026, 1:49 PM
NBA Injury Report
Myles Turner (calf) and Kyle Kuzma (elbow) are available for Thursday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis: Turner and Kuzma are good to go after being listed as questionable and probable, respectively, for Thursday's game. Both will be part of the Bucks' starting lineup, with fantasy managers hopeful that they can have productive nights against the rebuilding Jazz. |

Kevin Porter Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) downgraded to out vs. Utah
Thu, Mar 19, 2026, 1:44 PM
Eric Nehm
Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) is out for Thursday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis: Initially questionable for Thursday's game, Porter has been downgraded to out. His absence will likely lead to AJ Green returning to the starting lineup, and this should be a good matchup for the sharpshooting guard. |

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. |
|
Kyle Kuzma Kyle Kuzma (elbow) probable Thursday vs. Utah
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. |

Taurean Prince MIL starting KPJ, Rollins, Prince, Kuzma, Turner
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. |

Ryan Rollins Ryan Rollins (illness) available vs. Cleveland
Tue, Mar 17, 2026, 12:56 PM
NBA Injury Report
Ryan Rollins (illness) is available to play against the Cavaliers on Tuesday.
Analysis: Rollins was a late addition to the injury report, but he will be able to play through the illness. He has started the last two games and averaged 21.0 points, 7.5 assists and 3.5 triples per game. |
|
Ousmane Dieng Ousmane Dieng (illness) available vs. Cleveland
Tue, Mar 17, 2026, 12:33 PM
NBA Injury Report
Ousmane Dieng (illness) is available to play against the Cavaliers on Tuesday.
Analysis: Dieng will be back following a two-game absence with this illness. AJ Green started in his place and provided plenty of triples, but he will likely return to the bench with Dieng available. |
|
Myles Turner Myles Turner (calf) out Tuesday vs. Cavaliers
Tue, Mar 17, 2026, 12:32 PM
Myles Turner (calf) is out for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Turner had been dealing with a knee injury, but popped up on the injury report with a right calf strain and was subsequently ruled out. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) also sidelined, the Bucks will rely heavily on Jericho Sims and Bobby Portis. |
