Harris, added the injury report Thursday afternoon, went through his pregame routine without issue and will be available. However, he is not guaranteed to play rotation minutes, so do not add him to your lineups.

Harris had been battling a hamstring injury late in October, but had returned to the court and played 23 and 26 minutes in back-to-back games on November 14th and 15th. However, it seems that he may not be able to suit up on Thursday.

Knueppel played at least 40 minutes, had at least 28 points and made at least four three-pointers for the second time in his last four games. The 20-year-old shooting guard is off to a tremendous start to his career, certainly putting himself in the Rookie of the Year race. Brandon Miller’s impending return could cut into Knueppel’s usage a little bit, but not a significant amount.

Mann was initially doubtful for Wednesday’s game after injuring his ankle during Monday’s loss to the Raptors. While Drew Peterson did play some following Mann’s exit, taking on a similar role is unlikely. There’s no need to consider streaming him since LaMelo Ball and Collin Sexton are available.

Mann exited early from Monday’s game against Toronto, and he is expected to remain out for at least one more game. Drew Peterson took on a few extra minutes, but he isn’t a player to consider rostering. LaMelo Ball and Collin Sexton may just end up taking on a few extra minutes with Mann out.

Charania’s report indicates it’s a low-grade left groin strain for Giannis, and if he doesn’t return in November, he should be back quickly to start December. That means at least three absences for Giannis, though he could be out seven games or more, depending on how he recovers. Antetokounmpo has had one of the highest usage rates of his career this year, so there will be plenty of shots to go around. Recently, Kyle Kuzma (24 percent rostered in Yahoo! leagues) replaced Gary Trent Jr. (seven percent) in the starting lineup, but GTJ could make a return to the opening unit with Antetokounmpo out. Jericho Sims started the second half of Monday’s game against the Cavaliers, but that was likely a matchup-based decision against Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. Bobby Portis (25 percent) is another candidate to enter the starting lineup, though he has been disappointing this year. Of course, Ryan Rollins, who is enjoying a breakout season for the Bucks, had his two best games of the year when Giannis missed games earlier this year. Everyone on the Bucks will seen a bump in usage and minutes until Antetokounmpo returns.

Knueppel continues to play well with Brandon Miller (shoulder) out of the lineup. The 20-year-old rookie shooting guard had at least 24 points and four three-pointers for the second time in his last three games. Knueppel could lose minutes to Miller once he returns, but he’s played well enough to start his career that the Hornets will continue to give him opportunities.

Rollins picked up the slack from an offensive standpoint in the second half following superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo’s exit in the late stages of the second quarter with a left groin strain. However, Milwaukee was unable to avoid their third loss in their last four games. He shot 50 percent from downtown, hitting five of 10 treys and hoisted a team-leading 22 shots in this one. We’re anticipating he’ll get a couple additional looks per-game if Giannis winds up missing time. The Bucks have a couple days off to regroup before facing off against the 76ers on Thursday evening.

Turner will be asked to play an exponentially larger role on both ends of the floor if Giannis Antetokounmpo winds up requiring a lengthy absence after leaving Monday’s contest with a left groin strain. He’s set to undergo further testing and there should be some clarity on his status in the coming days. The veteran center knocked down four of five from three-point range in this one but wound up with just four additional shot attempts.

Mann exited Monday’s game with 1:33 remaining in the second quarter and did not return due to a sore left ankle. His potential absence for future games would not impact fantasy basketball. However, Drew Peterson played a few minutes off the bench in the second half while Mann was unavailable. There’s no need to consider adding Peterson.

Giannis exited Monday’s game during the second quarter, and the Bucks are describing the injury as a strained left groin. That’s terrible news for the Bucks and for fantasy managers, as the perennial All-Star may be facing an extended absence. Jericho Sims started the third quarter in Antetokounmpo’s place, but he offers minimal fantasy value.

Antetokounmpo was initially listed as probable with a knee injury, but has since been ruled in. The 30-year-old power forward missed a game last week, but returned with 32 points against the Lakers on Saturday. Expect Giannis to play without limitations against the Cavaliers on Monday.

Miller hasn’t played since October 25, but his recall from the G League suggests he’s trending toward a return with the parent club. Miller’s eventual return may mean fewer minutes for Kon Knueppel, but Knueppel is a hold based on how well he’s played to start his NBA career.

Antetokounmpo did his part from a scoring standpoint on the second night of a back-to-back for Milwaukee, but he got little help from his supporting cast in the early stages of this one as they ultimately trailed by 29 points at halftime. He knocked down six of eight shot attempts in the second half to reach the 30-point plateau for the ninth time in 12 games this season. He’s slightly underperformed this season relative to fantasy managers expectations, averaging 32.6 points, 11.3 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.3 blocks. The Bucks are back in action on Monday when they face the Cavaliers before closing out a three-game week with home matchups against the 76ers and Pistons.

Yikes. Kuzma turned in a complete clunker against his former team following an impressive 29-point, 10-rebound effort during Friday’s win over the Hornets where he made his first start since October 30. The 30-year-old forward, who spent the first four seasons of his career with the Lakers, missed all six of his shots from the floor with five of those coming from three-point range. He’ll attempt to turn things around when the Bucks get back in action on Monday against the Cavaliers.

With Ryan Kalkbrenner back after a one-game absence, Diabaté returned to playing a role off the bench. That didn’t slow Diabaté down; he recorded his second straight double-double and his fifth of the season. His upside is limited as a reserve, but he played just under 24 minutes, while Kalkbrenner played 26 minutes. There is enough time for both of them to provide decent numbers, but it may not come consistently enough for Diabaté.

Knueppel entered this game on a tear, but the odds were stacked against him in this one. LaMelo Ball sat out the second leg of the back-to-back. They went to overtime on Friday and had to travel back from Milwaukee to play. Oh, and the Thunder are the best defense in the league. It was a rough night for Knueppel, but there isn’t a reason to be concerned about the rookie. He’s had a spectacular year, and he’ll look to get back on track against the Raptors on Monday.

With LaMelo Ball (ankle) sidelined for the second leg of Charlotte’s back-to-back, Sexton made a return to the starting lineup. He has been a solid scoring option throughout the year, both as a starter and as a reserve, but Sexton wasn’t able to get much going in this game. He’ll likely return to the bench against Toronto on Monday, but the Hornets do have another back-to-back next week on Saturday and Sunday, which may be another chance for Sexton to start.

Antetokounmpo did not play in Wednesday’s loss to Charlotte, but he was back in the lineup two days later. His probable tag ahead of the second game of a back-to-back bodes well for Giannis’ availability, and fantasy managers must ensure he’s in their active lineups. With Kyle Kuzma starting on Friday, Bobby Portis may be the next man up if Giannis can’t play.

Kalkbrenner, who started Wednesday’s home game against the Bucks after the birth of his child, did not travel with the team for Friday’s rematch in Milwaukee.

Ball made his return on Friday from a right ankle impingement that sidelined him for five games, so his absence for Saturday night is unsurprising.

Prince underwent the procedure on Thursday in Los Angeles, and the Bucks announced that updates on his recovery will be provided when deemed necessary. While Prince was shooting nearly 43 percent from three on 3.5 attempts per game at the time of his injury, his minutes had decreased from 27.1 in 2024-25 to 21.1 this season. Kyle Kuzma, who has started Milwaukee’s last two games, has a higher ceiling with Prince unavailable but likely needs to remain a starter to be worth the risk in standard leagues.

In his last six games, Knueppel has scored at least 30 points twice, had a double-double and come one assist away from a triple-double. The 20-year-old small forward appears to be coming into his own. With Brandon Miller out of the lineup, Knueppel’s usage has taken off. He’s been much too valuable to still be available in most Yahoo! leagues.

Ball returned after missing five games with an ankle injury. The Hornets held him to 27 minutes in the overtime loss, but Ball was productive when he was out there. He was still able to put up 15 points and 10 assists in limited time. Ball will be productive as long as he’s healthy and on the court so not much has changed with the flashy 24-year-old point guard.

Rollins continues to be a consistent scoring presence for the Bucks. The 23-year-old shooting guard had 20 points on 12 shots and went 4-of-6 from behind the three-point line against the Hornets on Friday. Rollins is too productive in his role to still be available in most Yahoo! leagues.

Kuzma remained in the starting lineup while Giannis Antetokounmpo returned from a knee injury. While it’s unclear if Kuzma will remain in the starting lineup going forward, it certainly worked against the Hornets on Friday. Kuzma’s 29 points were the most he’s had this season and the second time he’s had at least 26 points in his last three games. Fantasy managers may want to ride the hot hand with Kuzma here. The Bucks have a date with the Lakers on Saturday, and that’s a revenge game for Kuzma.

Antetokounmpo’s 18 assists tied Cade Cunningham for the most in a game this season. The 30-year-old power forward was efficient, scoring 25 points on 18 shots and finding open teammates to create offense. Giannis played 40 minutes in his first game back from a knee injury. The Bucks have a meeting with the Lakers on the second night of a back-to-back on Saturday.

As expected, Kyle Kuzma received the starting nod with Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) unavailable. However, Portis provided greater value despite coming off the bench. A double-digit scorer in three straight, the 14 points are the most in a game for Portis since he dropped a season-high 16 on November 1 against the Kings.

The Bucks did not have Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) on the floor for Wednesday’s game, which increased Turner’s importance on offense. He shot the ball well, making half of his 14 attempts while also recording two steals and two blocks on defense. The lone disappointment for fantasy managers was Turner’s inactivity on the boards, grabbing just three rebounds. However, he’s never been the strongest rebounder, so a night like Wednesday is unsurprising.

Rollins continues to flourish for the Bucks, finishing Wednesday’s defeat with his third 20-point game of the season. With no Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) on the floor, the Bucks’ point guard attempted 15 shots, the most in a game for Rollins since October 30. Even better for fantasy managers is that the increased shot usage did not negatively impact Rollins’ efficiency, as he shot 66.7 percent from the field and committed just two turnovers. He’s still rostered in 49 percent of Yahoo! leagues, which is too low given Rollins’ role and his production.

Knueppel continues to provide solid offensive production, having reached double figures in five consecutive games.

The 30-year-old power forward had appeared in 10 of the first 11 Bucks games and was averaging 33.4 points, 11.9 rebounds and 6.2 assists. Ryan Rollins, Bobby Portis and Kyle Kuzma are the most likely to benefit from Giannis’ absence with Kuzma likely replacing him in the starting lineup.

Due to a lingering case of left knee patellar tendinopathy, Antetokounmpo is back on the Bucks’ injury report. While Wednesday’s game is not part of a back-to-back, this may be viewed as an opportunity to get the superstar forward additional rest. If Giannis doesn’t play, Kyle Kuzma is the likely replacement in the starting lineup.

While he’s only recorded one 20-point game as a Buck, Turner’s defensive production has been what fantasy managers hoped for. The 6-foot-11 center recorded three steals and three blocks on Sunday, the third time in four games that he’s produced at least five “stocks.” Turner is providing fifth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, and all that’s needed to improve that would be a modest boost to his scoring.

Rollins continues to provide excellent value as the Bucks’ starting point guard. He’s scored in double figures in nine straight games and has offered third-round per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats since moving into the starting lineup on October 24. Rollins is rostered in just 47 percent of Yahoo! leagues, which is too low, considering the production and Kevin Porter Jr.'s continued absence with a knee injury.
