Ryan Rollins Ryan Rollins (calf) tallies 17 points, eight dimes
Thu, Jan 29, 2026, 3:48 PM
Ryan Rollins (calf) finished Thursday's loss to the Wizards with 17 points (7-of-13 FGs), three rebounds, eight assists, three steals and three three-pointers.
Analysis: Quiet for the first half of Thursday's game, Rollins shot 6-of-10 from the field after halftime and helped Milwaukee make the game competitive down the stretch. Unfortunately for the Bucks, he had to leave with just over two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter due to a right calf cramp and did not return. With Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Porter Jr. out due to injury, Rollins has a higher fantasy ceiling and is worth targeting in 10-team leagues. |

Kyle Kuzma Kyle Kuzma posts 19 points, nine rebounds vs. WAS
Thu, Jan 29, 2026, 3:48 PM
Kyle Kuzma accounted for 19 points (8-of-18 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), nine rebounds and six assists in Thursday's loss to the Wizards.
Analysis: Kuzma didn't let being booed every time he touched the ball get him off his game, as he had one of his better performances of the season. In the two games the Bucks have played since losing Giannis Antetokounmpo to a calf strain, Kuzma has totaled 36 points, 17 rebounds and 14 assists while shooting 14-of-30 from the field. While he hasn't been the most reliable fantasy option, current circumstances make Kuzma worth the risk in some 12-team leagues. |

Myles Turner Myles Turner drops 21/14/1 line with six blocks
Thu, Jan 29, 2026, 3:47 PM
Myles Turner tallied 21 points (8-of-16 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), 14 rebounds, one assist, six blocks and two three-pointers in Thursday's loss to the Wizards.
Analysis: Unfortunately for the Bucks, it appears that Giannis Antetokounmpo going down with a calf strain was what fully unlocked Turner. After going off for 31 points in Tuesday's loss to the 76ers, he finished Thursday's defeat with his best all-around line of the season. Turner's double-double was his third of the season; the rebound tally was a season-high, and he matched his previous high in blocks. Over the past two weeks, Turner has been a top-5 player in eight-cat formats. |

Bobby Portis Bobby Portis records 19/7/3 line vs. Washington
Thu, Jan 29, 2026, 3:46 PM
Bobby Portis finished Thursday's loss to the Wizards with 19 points (8-of-17 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and two three-pointers.
Analysis: A double-figure scorer in nine consecutive games, Portis' 19 points were the most in a game for him since he hit that number in a January 19 win over the Hawks. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) out for the foreseeable future, Portis will have every opportunity to do more offensively. However, his fantasy value over the past two weeks has not cracked the top-100 in eight-cat formats. While this may give some shallow-league managers pause, those competing in standard leagues should still look to add Portis if he's sitting on the waiver wire. |

Cole Anthony Cole Anthony (illness) available Thursday vs. WAS
Thu, Jan 29, 2026, 12:03 PM
NBA Injury Report
Cole Anthony (illness) is available for Thursday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: Due to injuries, Anthony has re-entered the Bucks' rotation recently. However, his production has not been enough to merit being rostered in most redraft leagues. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for reliable value. |

Cole Anthony Cole Anthony (illness) questionable on Thursday
Thu, Jan 29, 2026, 6:45 AM
Milwaukee Bucks
Cole Anthony is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Wizards with an illness.
Analysis: Anthony had 10 points in 14 minutes on Tuesday. With Gary Harris (hamstring) already ruled out for Thursday's game, Gary Trent Jr. could be in for a decent workload off the bench. |

Gary Harris Gary Harris out on Thursday with hamstring injury
Thu, Jan 29, 2026, 6:43 AM
Milwaukee Bucks
Gary Harris is out for Thursday's game against the Wizards with left hamstring soreness.
Analysis: Harris is only averaging 17 minutes per game over the team's last five games, even though he has filled in as a starter at times. His absence could mean more minutes for Gary Trent Jr. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bucks ready to part ways
Wed, Jan 28, 2026, 6:04 AM
Shams Charania
ESPN's Shams Charania reports that Giannis Antetokounmpo is ready to move on from Milwaukee, and the Bucks are listening to aggressive trade offers for the two-time MVP.
Analysis: The Bucks have struggled mightily without Antetokounmpo this season, going just 3-12 in games that he missed. The Bucks are 12th in the Eastern Conference standings at 18-27, and their season could get even worse as Giannis has no timetable to return. Milwaukee is incentivized to trade Antetokounmpo, but according to Charania, the team will be patient and wait to move him until the offseason if it feels that a better package will be available. We may have already seen the last of Giannis in a Bucks uniform. |

Myles Turner Myles Turner scores season-high 31 points in loss
Tue, Jan 27, 2026, 5:11 PM
Myles Turner led the Bucks with 31 points (10-of-16 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, one steal, two blocks and four three-pointers in a 139-122 loss to the 76ers on Tuesday.
Analysis: One game after he set a new season high for blocks, Turner set a new season high for scoring in this game. It has been a rough first season in Milwaukee for Turner, but he's going to need to continue to step up like this to keep this team afloat with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) set to miss an extended period of time. He'll look to stay hot in Washington on Thursday. |

Ryan Rollins Ryan Rollins pours in 24/8/4 line vs. Philadelphia
Tue, Jan 27, 2026, 4:56 PM
Ryan Rollins lit up the 76ers with 24 points (9-of-17 FGs), eight rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two three-pointers on Tuesday.
Analysis: Rollins has struggled recently, but he has able to get on track offensively over their last two games. This was his second straight game with at least 20 points and his highest-scoring game since Jan. 2, when he scored 29 points in a win over Charlotte. A lot has changed since then, with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Kevin Porter Jr. (oblique) both facing extended absences. Rollins should continue to be a focal point for the Bucks, which should lead to more strong performances like this one. |

Bobby Portis Bobby Portis tallies 17/12/8 line as starter
Tue, Jan 27, 2026, 4:44 PM
Bobby Portis started on Tuesday and finished with 17 points (8-of-16 FGs), 12 rebounds, eight assists and one steal against the 76ers.
Analysis: Portis entered the starting lineup for this game, and if he remains there, fantasy managers should enjoy a long stretch of strong production. He fell two assists shy of a triple-double but still recorded his first double-double in nearly three weeks. Portis is currently rostered in just 37 percent of Yahoo! leagues, but with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) set to miss an extended period of time, Portis should be considered a must-roster player as long as he's starting. |

Bobby Portis Bobby Portis replaces Gary Harris as starter
Tue, Jan 27, 2026, 2:01 PM
Milwaukee Bucks
Ryan Rollins, AJ Green, Kyle Kuzma, Bobby Portis and Myles Turner will start against the 76ers on Tuesday.
Analysis: Portis will enter the starting lineup, which will push Gary Harris to the bench. Harris had started the last two games for the Bucks but didn't offer much value for fantasy managers. Portis should be able to do more in the box score as a starter and could remain in that role with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) sidelined for a while. |

Gary Trent Gary Trent Jr. (illness) absent from injury report
Mon, Jan 26, 2026, 12:13 PM
NBA Injury Report
Gary Trent Jr. (illness) is not on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: Trent, who was not available for Friday's loss to the Nuggets, has been out of the Bucks' rotation recently. However, Giannis Antetokounmpo's calf strain likely changes that, but there's no need to add Trent immediately. Watch his playing time and production on Tuesday before making that call. |
|
AJ Green AJ Green (illness) absent from injury report
Mon, Jan 26, 2026, 12:09 PM
NBA Injury Report
AJ Green (illness) is not on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: Green did not play in Friday's loss to the Nuggets, so Gary Harris made a spot start. While he may remain in the rotation, Harris is unlikely to provide the production needed to impact fantasy basketball. As for Green, he's worth picking up since the Bucks need scoring with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) sidelined. |

Kevin Porter Kevin Porter Jr. (oblique) to remain out vs. PHI
Mon, Jan 26, 2026, 11:36 AM
NBA Injury Report
Kevin Porter Jr. (oblique) will miss Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: Porter Jr. is set to miss his third straight game after injuring his oblique against the Hawks on January 19. The versatile combo guard has been limited to 23 games thus far, thanks to various injuries. While he is sidelined, Ryan Rollins will remain in the starting point guard position, taking on primary ball-handling and playmaking responsibilities. Cole Anthony should continue seeing quality minutes and opportunities off the bench. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) without timetable
Mon, Jan 26, 2026, 7:33 AM
Eric Nehm
The Athletic's Eric Nehm reports that Giannis Antetokounmpo is without a timetable to return, per his head coach, Doc Rivers.
Analysis: According to Nehm, Rivers said, âHe did a very good job. MRI has revealed exactly what we thought. There's no timetable. Calf strain and really no timetable for return. Hopefully, like it was before, sooner (than later), but there's no timetable.â That's certainly a divergence from Giannis' initial four-to-six-week estimate. Until Antetokounmpo returns, Bobby Portis and Kyle Kuzma will share duties at PF. |

Gary Trent Gary Trent Jr. (illness) probable Sunday vs. DAL
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 12:57 PM
NBA Injury Report
Gary Trent Jr. (illness) is probable for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.
Analysis: Ruled out for Friday's loss to the Nuggets, Trent had fallen out of the Bucks' rotation before his illness. However, with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) out for at least four to six weeks, there may be room for Trent to offer some value. There's no need to add him to fantasy rosters right now. |
|
AJ Green AJ Green (illness) questionable Sunday vs. Dallas
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 12:49 PM
NBA Injury Report
AJ Green (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.
Analysis: Green did not play in Friday's loss to the Nuggets, which led to Gary Harris moving into the starting lineup and playing 28 minutes. Harris did not offer much production in that role, so there's no need to consider streaming him if Green remains out. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) to miss 4-6 weeks
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 2:04 AM
Shams Charania
Giannis Antetokounmpo told reporters he expects to miss four to six weeks with a right calf strain.
Analysis: While it's unclear when exactly Antetokounmpo suffered the injury during Friday night's loss to the Nuggets, the 31-year-old power forward didn't mince words in his postgame media availability. Antetokounmpo said he expects the MRI, which is scheduled for Saturday, to show that he popped something in his calf and that he won't return before the end of February at the earliest. While the injury is potentially devastating for fantasy managers, it also has major implications on the Bucks' playoff hopes. Milwaukee is currently two and a half games behind Atlanta for the 10th seed in the Eastern Conference and will have to find a way to tread water without their star player for at least the next month. |

Myles Turner Myles Turner blocks six shots Friday vs. Denver
Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 6:48 PM
Myles Turner tallied 17 points (7-of-12 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists, one steal, six blocks and one three-pointer in the loss to the Nuggets on Friday.
Analysis: Truner returned from a one-game absence and provided the Bucks with solid two-way production. In the loss, he scored efficiently inside the arc and was decent on the glass in his 29 minutes of game action. But his biggest impact came on the defensive end, where he set a new season-high in blocks and tallied more in this one game than he had combined throughout January. Turner's debut season in Milwaukee has been up-and-down, but perhaps this will be the game to jumpstart the rest of his campaign. |
