Prince’s extended absence is a big blow to Milwaukee’s offense, as the sharpshooting forward is knocking down 42.9% of his shots from beyond the arc this season. In his absence, expect Kyle Kuzma and Bobby Portis to see increased run.

Nembhard finished Sunday’s defeat with a solid assist tally, but the field-goal percentage took a beating in Indiana’s final game of the week. However, the fact that he played 30 minutes or more in both games of the Pacers’ weekend back-to-back is far more critical, given the time he missed with a shoulder injury. Plus, Indiana was without Pascal Siakam and Aaron Nesmith on Sunday, which has to be factored into Nembhard’s poor shooting. He should get better looks when Siakam is on the floor. Indiana plays three games during Week 4, starting with the Jazz on Tuesday.

According to Cleaning the Glass, Huff has played 21 percent of his minutes this season at power forward, and that was his role on Sunday. He recorded his first double-double of the season, hitting double digits in scoring for the second time and in rebounds for the first. Isaiah Jackson (12/6/1/0/1 in 21 minutes) also recorded a solid stat line, but he and Huff played 21 and 22 minutes, respectively. That’s the issue for both, especially with Pascal Siakam returning after sitting out Sunday’s game for rest reasons. Jackson is the player whom more fantasy managers have invested in, but Huff has provided greater fantasy value.

The Pacers are without Aaron Nesmith and Pascal Siakam for Sunday’s game, opening up two spots in the starting lineup. Sheppard and Huff will fill the vacancies, raising the ceiling of both players. While worthy of consideration in deep leagues, neither is a must-roster player.

Injured during the preseason, McConnell has yet to appear in a game this season. While Carlisle did not provide an updated timeline on the veteran point guard, the fact that T.J. is ramping up is a good sign for the injury-riddled Pacers. He’ll have tangible fantasy value as soon as he’s allowed to take on a full workload, even with Andrew Nembhard being the starter.

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.

Giannis didn’t record any defensive stats on Sunday, the first time he’s done that since the Bucks’ opener, but the offensive production remained elite. He’s scored at least 31 points in seven of the nine games he’s appeared in and is providing top-15 per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Despite shooting just 63.5 percent from the foul line, Antetokounmpo’s field-goal percentage has increased by three points compared to last season. Also, his rebounding average has increased while the turnovers have decreased. The Bucks play four games during Week 4, starting with the Mavericks on Monday.

While Peter was made available for Saturday’s loss to the Nuggets after initially being questionable, he did not play. With Aaron Nesmith and Pascal Siakam joining the lengthy list of absentees, Peter will likely play rotation minutes if cleared.

Siakam, who has shouldered a heavy workload this season due to the Pacers’ many injuries, will get Sunday night off. This is a brutal hit for fantasy managers who were hoping for a big performance from Spicy P on the final night of Week 3. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl’s playing time will likely increase after he logged 15 minutes on Saturday, but he isn’t the most trustworthy streaming option. If Jarace Walker is on the waiver wire, add him first.

Nesmith has a right forearm contusion and will not play on Sunday, the Pacers’ second game in as many nights. Given the number of players who won’t be available, now is the time to go “all-in” on Jarace Walker out of necessity. If you hadn’t already done so.

No surprise here, as Giannis carried a probable designation into Saturday afternoon. Still, fantasy managers now have confirmation that the Greek Freak is available, and he should be deployed as usual in lineups for Sunday’s early showdown with Kevin Durant and the Rockets.

Nesmith benefitted from the return of fellow guard Andrew Nembhard as he shot 70 percent from the floor, knocking down a trio of three-pointers, and getting to the line for eight free throws. The 26-year-old has taken on a much larger role from a scoring standpoint with Tyrese Haliburton out for the season, which gives him some serious appeal in deeper fantasy leagues.

Nembhard made an immediate impact in his return to Indiana’s lineup following a seven-game absence due to a shoulder injury, despite shooting just 2-of-10 from three-point range. The 25-year-old’s presence pushed Ben Sheppard back to the bench as he logged just 22 minutes in this one after averaging nearly 30 per-game during his absence. It may take him a couple games to shake off the rust, but his return gives Indiana a much-needed play-making presence to run their offense through.

It was a forgettable performance for Siakam in this one as he shot just 31 percent from the floor to finish with a season-low 14 points. It came as a bit of a surprise since Andrew Nembhard was back in the lineup for the first time since opening night. He had eclipsed 27 points in five of nine games to open the season and is averaging 24 points, eight rebounds and six assists during that span. He’ll attempt to turn things around when Indiana faces the Warriors on Sunday.

Nembhard has been sidelined since injuring his shoulder in the season opener, but he’ll be available in this one. He’ll likely make an immediate return to the starting lineup, which should result in Ben Sheppard returning to a reserve role.

Rollins continues to flourish as the Bucks’ starting point guard, enjoying his third game with at least 20 points on Friday. He’s proven to be a good fit alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has taken on more playmaking responsibilities this season. With Rollins being a fourth-round player in nine-cat formats, it will be enticing for some managers to consider selling high. However, holding onto him would not be the worst idea, even after Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) returns from injury.

For the first time as a Buck, Turner has recorded a 20-point game. In fact, he entered Friday having surpassed 15 points just once. While he can provide valuable spacing for Giannis Antetokounmpo, that has generally resulted in the “Greek Freak” getting downhill even more and finishing at the basket, rather than a few more catch-and-shoot opportunities for Turner. He was more involved in the offense on Friday, resulting in his best performance of the season thus far.

The Bulls had no answer for Antetokounmpo, who shot 50 percent from the field and finished one assist shy of a triple-double. And he was especially lethal during the fourth quarter, scoring 19 points. While he’s shooting 63.4 percent from the foul line, Giannis’ improvement in the turnover category has enhanced his value in nine-cat formats. According to Basketball Monster, he’s a top-10 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. More nights like Friday will give him a shot at cracking the top-5 in fantasy value, something he has not done since the 2016-17 campaign.

Nembhard has been out since the Pacers’ season opener, but a return may be on the horizon. If he can play on Saturday, Nembhard will likely push Ben Sheppard out of the starting lineup. Sheppard, who played 35 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the Nets, would be worth holding onto in deep leagues due to Indiana’s lack of depth.

Not only will Prince miss Friday’s game, but he could be out longer.

Look for Kyle Kuzma and Bobby Portis to pick up additional minutes in Prince’s absence.

Indiana has dealt with a ton of injuries in the backcourt this season, which led to them signing McClung in the first place. However, they’ll pivot to a veteran guard who they nearly signed in September. Morris will likely have a role, but he isn’t a player that will contribute consistently for fantasy managers.

Due to their many injuries, the Pacers signed Robinson-Earl to a 10-day contract over the weekend. Wednesday’s game was the first in which he truly stood out, grabbing 15 rebounds. There’s no need to consider adding Robinson-Earl based on one performance, but he’s looking to earn himself an opportunity, whether it’s with the Pacers or another team.

Due to the Pacers’ lack of healthy point guards, Siakam has been asked to take on more playmaking responsibilities this season. Of the eight games he’s played, Spicy P has recorded at least six assists in four, including a season-high nine on Wednesday. The negative was that he committed seven turnovers against the Nets, more than doubling his previous high (three). High-turnover nights of this caliber have been few and far between for Siakam, so there isn’t much to worry about. The only concern is that there may come a point later in the season when the Pacers’ draft lottery odds become a priority, but we aren’t there yet.

Sheppard, who started three games earlier this season, was back in the lineup on Wednesday due to Quenton Jackson (hamstring) being out. The third-year guard had his best game of the season, recording a complete stat line that included 18 points and three three-pointers. Rostered in three percent of Yahoo! leagues, Sheppard still isn’t in a place where he has to be on deep-league rosters. But the circumstances make him a player to watch, especially with the Pacers hitting the road for a four-game trip.

Quenton Jackson (hamstring) is out indefinitely after injuring his hamstring during Monday’s loss to the Bucks. Sheppard will make his fourth start of the season, and while he hasn’t been the most productive option, there won’t be a shortage of opportunities due to the Pacers’ many injuries. Look for Siakam to have the ball in his hands quite often as a facilitator for others, while also getting his own looks.

After hosting the Nets on Wednesday, the Pacers will hit the road for four games, starting Saturday in Denver. Furphy, who injured his left ankle during Monday’s loss to the Bucks, will not play, and there’s a chance he misses time beyond the road trip. To help account for their team’s many injuries, the Pacers received a hardship waiver to sign Cody Martin to a 10-day contract. He’s unlikely to impact fantasy basketball, but rotation minutes should be available.

Jackson injured his hamstring during Monday’s loss to the Bucks and was already ruled out for Wednesday’s game against the Nets. Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said during his pregame availability that Jackson will also miss the team’s upcoming four-game road trip, and possibly even more time after that. Due to the Pacers’ many injuries on the perimeter, Aaron Nesmith and Jarace Walker are the players who should be targeted on waiver wires.

Indiana has been decimated by injuries this season, and Martin will help provide some depth, though it may just be temporary. The Pacers signed Martin with a hardship exception due to just how many injuries they’re dealing with. Martin could be part of the rotation, but it’s unclear how many minutes he’ll get, so he isn’t worth rostering at this time.

Antetokounmpo took all 14 of his shots inside the arc, scoring 15 of his team-high 22 points in the first half. The Bucks sputtered offensively on the second night of a back-to-back, shooting just 31 percent (6-of-19) from three in the opening half and falling behind by 19 at the break. They trailed by 25 entering the fourth, which allowed Giannis to rest the entire final period. The 30-year-old superstar is averaging 32 points and 12 rebounds through seven games, ranking as a top-10 fantasy contributor so far. Milwaukee will look to bounce back Friday night against the division-rival Bulls.

Kuzma did most of his damage in the second half with Milwaukee trailing by a couple touchdowns.

Add another guard to the Pacers’ lengthy injury report. Jackson strained his right hamstring during Monday’s loss to the Bucks, and fantasy managers should plan for a multi-game absence. Ben Sheppard is the most likely option to start, meaning Pascal Siakam will have more time on the ball.

Walker has been in the starting lineup for the shorthanded Pacers, but he has struggled to get shots to fall. However, he had one of his best offensive performances of the season in this one.

Walker is currently rostered in just 16 percent of Yahoo! leagues, but his spot in the starting unit should be safe.

Jackson had plenty of hype during the preseason due to the lack of other center options in Indiana. He has started all but one game, but he was largely unproductive to start the year. However, over the last three games, he’s averaging 13.3 points and 9.7 rebounds, and this was his first double-double of the year.

After scoring 22 points off the bench in the Bucks’ last game, Kuzma was able to have another decent performance against Indiana. The discouraging part is that he only played 16 minutes. Kuzma struggled during the second half of last season after being sent to the Bucks, though he was part of the starting lineup. Now, he’s come off the bench in almost every game this season. He’s playing better, but if he isn’t getting the opportunity, his upside is limited.

It was another spectacular night for Antetokounmpo despite another rough night from the free throw line, and it ended with a contested fadeaway at the buzzer. Giannis will continue to stuff the stat sheet every night for Milwaukee; he has scored at least 30 points in five of his six appearances and has a double-double in all but one game this season. This was the first leg of a back-to-back, so there is a chance that Antetokounmpo doesn’t play against the Raptors on Tuesday. Keep an eye on the injury report.

Turner started his return to Indiana off hot, scoring seven points in the first five minutes. However, he only scored one more bucket over the remainder of the game.

He needs to turn things around on offense in order for him to play to his fourth-round ADP in Yahoo! leagues.

As expected, Giannis will be good to go against Indiana. Antetokounmpo is coming off posting a 26/11/8 line in a loss to the Kings and should be in for a dominant night against the Pacers, who have allowed 121.2 points per game this season.

Antetokounmpo was also listed as questionable prior to Saturday’s game against the Kings before ultimately taking the floor and logging a 26/11/8 line in the loss. If he’s active against Indiana, the former league MVP could continue his dominance on the season — he’s averaging 34.2 points, 13.4 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.2 blocks and 0.8 steals through five games.

Having recorded career-high point totals in his last two games, Rollins was bound to cool down eventually. However, he still shot over 50 percent from the field on Saturday and recorded eight assists, matching his season high. Rollins is a virtual lock to remain in the starting lineup as long as Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) is out, and the job may be his even after KPJ returns. He’s played that well, and Porter will be out for at least another four weeks.

Even with Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) back in the Bucks’ lineup, Portis’ playing time increased on Saturday, playing 23 minutes after logging 16 in Thursday’s win over the Warriors. The reason for the increase in playing time was Myles Turner (9/3/0/2 with three three-pointers) getting into early foul trouble, which limited him to 24 minutes. While a fixture in the Bucks’ rotation, Portis’ opportunities are dictated primarily by Turner’s production, which limits his fantasy ceiling.

While Kuzma is shooting 55 percent from the field this season, his limited rebounding and defensive production lower his fantasy ceiling considerably. However, he can come through with the occasional big scoring night, which happened on Saturday.

However, he didn’t provide much beyond the points and percentages, remaining a player only worthy of a look in deep leagues.

Giannis had a chance to send Saturday’s game into overtime after rebounding a free throw intentionally missed by teammate AJ Green. Unfortunately for the Bucks star, he was stripped of the ball by Zach LaVine just before time expired, ending Milwaukee’s four-game win streak. However, despite a sore knee, Antetokounmpo finished two assists shy of a triple-double and recorded a complete stat line. The Bucks play four games during Week 3, beginning with a Monday/Tuesday back-to-back. Given Giannis’ lingering knee soreness, fantasy managers need to consider the possibility of him getting an injury management night.

He finished with three points (1-of-4 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), two rebounds and five assists in 13 minutes off the bench.

With Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) unavailable, Turner had his most productive night of the season, recording highs in points and three-pointers.

Kuzma was tabbed to replace Giannis Antetokounmpo in the Bucks’ starting lineup on Thursday, and he provided solid value in rebounds and assists. Unfortunately, Kuzma didn’t score much, but that had more to do with Ryan Rollins’ explosion than the forward struggling.

Already without Kevin Porter Jr., the Bucks were forced to play Thursday’s game without Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee). Rollins understood the assignment and had the best night of his NBA career. The 2022 second-round pick, who began his NBA career with the Warriors, notched his first 30-point game and did so efficiently. Rostered in 29 percent of Yahoo! leagues, removing Rollins from the starting lineup will be difficult once Porter is healthy enough to play. Rollins is a must-roster player, even with the Bucks only playing once more this week.
