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.

Gafford sat out the second leg of the Mavericks’ back-to-back on Monday, but he’ll be back and likely return to the starting lineup. Gafford’s return will push Moussa Cisse to the bench, and with Dereck Lively II (knee) also back, Cisse’s role will likely be minimal, if he sees the floor at all.

This one got out of hand quickly as Minnesota built a 32-point lead by the end of the third quarter. Flagg was one of the few bright spots for the injury-depleted Mavericks as he shot 60 percent from the floor and hit two of three from beyond the arc. It’s been an up-and-down rookie campaign so far, which isn’t unexpected as he acclimates to everyday life at the highest level on a Dallas squad that appears headed towards a potential full-scale teardown. Dallas will attempt to turn things around when they host the Knicks on Wednesday evening.

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.

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.

With Anthony Davis, Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively II all sidelined due to injury, Cissé will make his first start of the season on Monday.

Both of Dallas’ centers will get the night off as Dallas plays the second leg of a back-to-back set, and both should be back in action for Wednesday’s matchup with New York. Moussa Cisse, Dwight Powell and P.J. Washington should be the primary beneficiaries on Monday. Washington is the best option of the trio, though he is not widely available on the waiver wire. Cisse offers streaming appeal for managers in need of boards.

Despite playing on an ankle that still doesn’t appear to be fully healthy, Gafford was excellent in his 31 minutes on the court Sunday night. A double-digit scorer in three straight appearances, the Mavericks center notched his first 20-point game of the season. Add in the blocked shots, and Sunday was a good night to have Gafford rostered. He has already played both games of a back-to-back this season, which may bode well for Gafford’s availability for Monday’s game against the Timberwolves. However, he did admit after the game that he aggravated the ankle injury during overtime. Gafford, who said the plan was to travel to Minnesota for Monday’s game, should be considered questionable after logging a season-high 31 minutes.

After shooting 1-of-3 from the field in the first half, Flagg was far more assertive. He shot 4-of-5 from the field in the third quarter, and the rookie forward hit two key shots in the extra period to help Dallas pull away. Flagg is going to have his growing pains, as most rookies do, but he’s provided sixth-round value in nine-cat formats over the past week, according to Basketball Monster. Things appear to be looking up for Flagg.

Washington was one of three Mavericks starters to score at least 20 points in Sunday’s overtime victory, a step in the right direction for the forward. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, P.J. hasn’t benefited from the injuries to other Mavericks frontcourt players in terms of value. Rostered in 42 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Washington is ranked well outside the top-150 in nine-cat formats. However, Dallas’ four-game Week 5 makes him worth holding onto in deep leagues, especially with Anthony Davis still out.

After struggling mightily to begin the season, Thompson may be getting back on track. He’s reached double figures in three straight games, making at least four three-pointers in each. At this stage of his career, Thompson is more of a specialist than a player who can provide solid fantasy value across multiple categories. And that’s unlikely to change anytime soon, especially with Max Christie (14/4/4/1 with three three-pointers) taking Klay’s place in the starting lineup. Dallas plays four games during Week 5, starting with Minnesota on Monday.

Having missed the Mavericks’ last eight games with a strained left calf, Davis was evaluated over the weekend. While progress is being made, he’ll be out for at least another 7-10 days. With Mavericks governor Patrick Dumont making it clear in the aftermath of GM Nico Harrison’s firing that he doesn’t want Davis to play until there’s no chance of aggravating the calf strain, it may be a while before AD is back on the court. Fantasy managers should not hesitate to add Naji Marshall, even with P.J. Washington (shoulder) available for Sunday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

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.

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.

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.

Marshall can have big games when the Mavericks are missing starters as we saw last year. It was the same story on Friday against the Clippers as the 27-year-old forward filled in for P.J.

Russell played 39 minutes, which is the most he’s played in a game this year, in the Mavericks’ double overtime loss to the Clippers on Friday. The 29-year-old point guard’s 28-point performance seeming came out of nowhere. Russell hadn’t scored more than 10 points in his last six games and his three-point shooting has been terrible recently. He’s 2-for-21 from behind the three-point line over his last four games including Friday night. Not much has changed for Russell despite the big minutes and point totals in a double overtime game. He also had seven turnovers to go with five assists.

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.

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.
