Antetokounmpo has missed Milwaukee’s last three games with a strained groin, but a return may be on the horizon. Initially given a timeline of one to two weeks, the Bucks star has a chance to play in Wednesday’s NBA Cup matchup. If he returns, Jericho Sims will head to the bench after logging 11 minutes in Monday’s loss to the Trail Blazers.

Rollins had to deal with Portland’s Toumani Camara for most of Monday’s game, and the impact on his output was unsurprisingly negative. Monday’s game was just the fourth this season in which the fourth-year guard scored 10 points or less, so there isn’t too much to be worried about. A late-round option in drafts before the season began, Rollins has been a fourth-round player in nine-cat formats, representing one of the best values in fantasy basketball. He’ll look to bounce back when the Bucks face the Heat on Wednesday.

In the three games since Milwaukee lost Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin) during a November 17 loss to the Cavaliers, Portis has scored 19, 18 and 22 points. After starting the first two games, Portis was back on the bench Monday night, but that didn’t prevent him from recording his first 20-point game of the season. As long as Portis continues to hit the mid-to-high 20s in minutes, he’s worth trusting while the Bucks await Giannis’ return, especially with the Bucks having three more games in Week 6.

Turner recorded his second double-double in three games on Monday, but the production since Milwaukee lost Giannis Antetokounmpo to a strained groin has been underwhelming. Over the last three games, the Bucks’ center has averaged 12.3 points on 39.4 percent shooting from the field. The good news is that the rebounds, blocks and three-pointers have been there, but a more accurate Turner would be more valuable to fantasy managers. The good news is that Milwaukee plays three more games during Week 6, starting with the Heat on Wednesday.

Tyson logged his eighth double-digit scoring performance of the season on Monday against the Raptors. Efficient shooting led to production, and his efforts on the glass nearly earned him his first double-double of the 2025-26 campaign. Tyson will likely make his way back to the bench once the Cavaliers return to full health. But in the meantime, he’s a nice streaming option on nights when he steps into the starting lineup.

Mobley was one of four Cavaliers players to score in double figures on Monday, though his final line wasn’t his standard. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year finished the night with one stock and tied his third-lowest scoring total of the season. Mobley’s averages thus far have been pretty similar to his career-best 2024-25 season. He hasn’t taken a significant leap, but has been steady. Fantasy managers may be hoping for more moving forward.

Mitchell failed to sustain the hot hand from his 37-point outing against the Clippers on Sunday. On the second night of a back-to-back, the superstar scoring struggled for much of Monday’s contest — he only tallied seven points through three quarters before chipping in 10 more in the fourth quarter. Inefficiency both inside and outside the arc hurt his production, and low free-throw output didn’t do much to make up for the off-shooting night. However, Mitchell did produce a game-high in assists and nearly notched the double-double. He’ll have a few days off before taking the court on Friday against the Hawks.

The Bucks will start Jericho Sims on Monday in place of Bobby Portis as they look to snap a four-game losing streak. Sims’ start will mark his first as a member of the Bucks — he’s averaging 1.8 points and 2.2 rebounds per game across 12 appearances this season. Portis should still play a sizable role off the bench, with his scoring production likely going to be needed.

On the second game of a back-to-back, Ball will replace Darius Garland (toe) in the Cavaliers’ opening unit, and Larry Nance Jr. will also enter the starting lineup for Jarrett Allen (finger). The Cavs enter Monday’s contest with the same 12-6 record as the Raptors, who currently occupy the second spot in the Eastern Conference standings. Like Cleveland, Toronto is also on the second day of a back-to-back, after defeating the Nets on Sunday.

The Cavaliers are going to be shorthanded against the Raptors on Monday even if Wade is available. The 29-year-old power forward is dealing with a knee injury, but he’s in line for more minutes with Jarrett Allen out if he’s available against the Raptors.

Hunter is being given the night off on the second game of a back-to-back against the Raptors on Monday. The 27-year-old small forward had 17 points and four three-pointers against the Clippers on Sunday. Hunter is just one of six players listed as out already for the Cavaliers on Monday.

Allen is set to miss his third consecutive game with a right middle finger injury. Jaylon Tyson has moved into the starting lineup in Allen’s absence, playing 27 and 23 minutes in the last two games. Dean Wade should also see additional minutes off the bench.

Garland had just eight points in 29 minutes against the Clippers on Sunday. The 25-year-old point guard will sit out Monday’s game against the Raptors for injury management reasons.

Mobley has recorded double-doubles in both games the Cavaliers played without Jarrett Allen (finger) to end Week 5. While some will focus on the opposition, with Cleveland taking care of the Pacers and Clippers, those two games were reminders of what Mobley can do when he’s the lone big man in the Cavaliers’ lineup. Mobley’s fantasy value hasn’t aligned with his Yahoo! ADP (19) yet, but he’s capable of closing that distance.

Shooting just 31.3 percent from three on the season, Hunter has picked up the production recently. Over the last three games, he’s shot 12-of-24 from deep, which will definitely help that percentage for the season. However, the issue for Hunter isn’t percentages; it’s the limited production outside of points, rebounds and three-pointers. His four assists on Sunday were the most in a game for Hunter since November 13, when he dished out a season-high six against the Raptors. Racking up assists in a lineup that includes Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell is challenging, which is where the defensive stats should come in. Unfortunately, the production in those categories has been limited.

The Clippers didn’t have an answer for Mitchell on Sunday, as he did most of what he wanted in the 120-105 victory. Since missing the Cavaliers’ November 12 game against Miami, he has scored at least 30 points in five of the last six games. During this run, Mitchell has averaged 31.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.3 steals and 3.7 three-pointers while shooting 52.5 percent from the field. He’s been on a roll recently, which has been a significant development for those who have Spida rostered. Cleveland opens a three-game Week 6 in Toronto on Monday.

While Rollins had to deal with significant defensive attention in Thursday’s overtime loss to the 76ers, that did not compare to what he saw from Detroit. The Pistons threw Ausar Thompson at the Bucks guard, and he struggled early on. However, Rollins would eventually get his bearings and finish with a solid overall stat line. Despite the Bucks’ injuries, he’s still rostered in just 53 percent of Yahoo! leagues. Look for that number to increase, especially with Milwaukee playing four games during Week 6.

After scoring 19 points in his first start for the injured Giannis Antetokounmpo, Portis tallied 18 on 70 percent shooting on Saturday. He didn’t provide any defensive stats against the Bucks, but the opportunity to start makes Portis a player worth rostering while Milwaukee awaits the return of its best player. And with four games on the schedule for Week 6, now is a good time to add Portis if he’s sitting on your league’s waiver wire.

For the second time this season, Green made five three-pointers in a game on Saturday. He’s made at least three in 13 of his 17 appearances, locking down a spot in the Bucks’ starting lineup. Green is mainly an option for managers needing points and three-pointers, and he’s been consistently productive in those areas. The Bucks play four games during Week 6, starting with the Trail Blazers on Monday.

Mobley stepped into a major defensive role with Jarrett Allen (finger) sidelined. The 24-year-old center responded by stepping up and recording four blocks.

He had been off to a slow start to the season, returning just eighth-round value so far.

Mitchell had yet another 30-point game against the Pacers on Friday. Only the Thunder’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has more games with at least 30 points this season. Mitchell showed incredible awareness without the ball in his hands in the third quarter when he signaled for Dean Wade to shoot a three-pointer.

Garland (toe) and Tyson (concussion) are back from injury, with the latter filling in for the injured Jarrett Allen (finger). Allen’s absence also impacts Mobley, who will be the lone big man in the Cavaliers’ starting lineup. That should give him more room to operate offensively, raising his fantasy ceiling.

Portis was Bucks head coach Doc Rivers’ choice to fill the massive void left by Giannis Antetokounmpo, who will be re-evaluated in one to two weeks after suffering a strained groin. After a slow start to his 11th NBA season, “The Mayor of Milwaukee” was productive in his 28 minutes. The playing time is a concern, especially with Myles Turner (14/10/1 with three three-pointers) also playing 28 minutes. Gary Trent Jr. (11 points, two assists, one steal and three three-pointers) replaced Portis in the lineup to begin the third quarter, a sign that the matchup influenced the minutes. Despite that, Milwaukee’s lack of dependable frontcourt options makes rostering Portis a risk worth taking in deeper leagues.

While Kuzma hasn’t been the most reliable option for fantasy managers, Giannis Antetokounmpo’s absence with a low-grade groin strain makes him worth a longer look. The Bucks forward provided solid value on Thursday in the first game that Milwaukee has played since Giannis’ injury. However, some fantasy managers will hope for more rebounding production from Kuzma. Unfortunately, the Bucks end Week 5 with a challenging matchup, as they’ll host the red-hot Pistons on Saturday.

Rollins continues to shine as the Bucks’ starting point guard. On Thursday, he recorded his second career double-double and matched his career-high with 32 points. Rollins’ 14 assists were a career-high as he hit double digits in that category for the second time as a pro. Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) still isn’t close to a return, but it’s fair to say that Rollins will remain the Bucks’ starting point guard no matter what. He’s only rostered in 52 percent of Yahoo! leagues, which is way too low.

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.

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.

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 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.
