Porter is dealing with a right hip contusion, but the good news is that he’s probable on the Bucks’ initial injury report. If he’s unable to play, Gary Trent Jr. could be the replacement in the starting lineup, while Ryan Rollins will take on a larger role as Milwaukee’s primary playmaker.

For just the third time in his career, and the first since October 29, 2022, Dončić fouled out of an NBA game on Friday. His foul of Milwaukee’s Kevin Porter Jr. on a three-point attempt with 16.2 seconds remaining led to two made free throws that gave the Bucks the lead for good. This was a frustrating night for Dončić, who shot 4-of-19 from inside the arc and 4-of-8 at the foul line. The rebounds, assists, steals and three-pointers were useful, but Dončić managers took a hit in the percentages.

With Rui Hachimura (calf) once again unavailable, LaRavia was in the Lakers’ starting lineup for the sixth consecutive game. While the final stat line on Friday was modest, the forward was a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. Since moving into the starting five, LaRavia has been close to a top-50 player in eight-cat formats. As long as Hachimura is unavailable, LaRavia is worth the streaming risk.

James, who finished one rebound shy of a triple-double, had a chance to tie Friday’s game in the final seconds. However, Giannis Antetokounmpo was able to poke the ball away from behind, resulting in James’ third turnover of the night. That was the only issue for the Lakers’ forward, who shouldered more of the offensive workload with Luka Dončić in foul trouble. Over the past two weeks, LeBron has been a top-15 player in eight-cat formats.

Portis has now recorded six double-doubles this season, with all having been recorded since December 14. Over the past month, the Bucks’ forward has offered top-75 per-game value in eight-cat formats. By comparison, Myles Turner (eight points, six rebounds and two three-pointers) has not been a top-150 player during this period. The combination of Portis’ production and the underwhelming return offered by Turner makes the former worth the risk in some 12-team leagues.

Giannis came up with the biggest defensive play of Friday’s game, as he poked the ball away from LeBron James in the final seconds to prevent the Lakers’ forward from attempting a potential game-tying layup. While Antetokounmpo’s shot volume was low, he shot the ball efficiently from the field and the foul line. Having seemingly put to rest any rumors regarding his future in Milwaukee, the question now is what (if anything) the Bucks will look to do to strengthen the roster around Antetokounmpo before the trade deadline. Regardless of the answer, he’ll still provide excellent fantasy value.

After returning from a sprained ankle that sidelined him for over a month, Porter has exceeded the expectations of many fantasy managers. The Bucks’ guard has been a top-20 player in eight- and nine-cat formats, well above his Yahoo! ADP (109). On Friday, Porter joined Giannis Antetokounmpo as the only Bucks players with at least 20 points, and he recorded a complete stat line with solid percentages. Rostered in 71 percent of Yahoo! leagues, KPJ is worth scooping up if available in shallow leagues.

James is good to go after sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the Spurs. His return means that Jarred Vanderbilt will head to the bench, where he offers minimal fantasy value.

Hachimura has been sidelined for the Lakers’ last five games but had a chance to return for this one. However, he’ll remain out, which means Jake LaRavia will remain a starter for at least one more game, where he has been worth streaming.

Hachimura has missed the Lakers’ last five games with a strained right calf, and a return to action may not be far away. If he’s able to play on Friday, Jake LaRavia will be the player most affected. While LaRavia’s minutes would decrease, he may be worth holding onto in deep leagues to account for a potential minutes restriction for Hachimura.

James did not play in Wednesday’s loss to the Spurs, which led to Jarred Vanderbilt making a spot start. Vanderbilt is more valuable as a defender than as a scorer, so he did not offer much fantasy value. James will be back in the starting lineup if he’s allowed to play on Friday.

Rollins followed up a relatively mediocre performance against the Kings with a pretty solid outing on Wednesday against the Warriors. By way of efficient shooting, he concluded as Milwaukee’s second-leading scorer, and he also finished second on the team in total rebounds. Add in Rollins’ contributions as a passer, and his pair of three-pointers, and you get what was a productive performance as far as fantasy basketball goes. He’ll have a chance to log another productive game on Friday against the Lakers.

Porter Jr. put together another productive performance as the Bucks’ lead guard. As usual, he was an effective passer — leading his team in assists on Wednesday — and he also shot the ball efficiently before finishing as Milwaukee’s third leading scorer. A lack of free-throw attempts prevented him from scoring more points. Nonetheless, Porter Jr. continues to fit nicely alongside AJ Green and Ryan Rollins at the guard position in the Bucks’ starting unit.

Antetokounmpo played 31 minutes on Wednesday and collected his fourth straight 30-point double-double. Efficient shooting keyed his success, and a pair of three-pointers also added to his overall fantasy production on the night. He finished as the only Milwaukee player with double-digit rebounds and was the only one to score more than 16 points. Antetokounmpo continues to do the heavy lifting for the Bucks — their success depends on it, which is great news for fantasy basketball managers.

After Ayton put up 16 shots in Tuesday’s win over the Pelicans, fantasy managers likely hoped for a similar output on Wednesday, especially with LeBron James (toe) out. Unfortunately, he only attempted nine shots, with Jake LaRavia (13) and Luka Dončić (26) being the only Lakers to hit double digits in attempts. With James possibly returning to the lineup on Friday, fantasy managers have to hope that his presence will result in a few more opportunities for Ayton.

Due to Rui Hachimura’s calf injury, LaRavia has started the Lakers’ last five games. And he’s been productive, reaching double figures in three of the five starts. Rostered in 26 percent of Yahoo! leagues, LaRavia has been close to a top-50 player in eight-cat formats since December 30. The only issue facing managers considering adding LaRavia is the schedule. Friday’s game against the Bucks is the Lakers’ last of Week 12.

With no LeBron James (toe), Dončić was left to shoulder most of the offensive workload for the Lakers on Wednesday. In the first half, he either scored or assisted on 39 of the team’s 43 points. Dončić finished with his fourth triple-double of the season and first since December 18. The negatives: the triple-double wasn’t recorded in a victory, and Luka committed seven turnovers. The Lakers play their final game of Week 12 on Friday against the Bucks.

The Lakers won’t have LeBron James (foot) for Wednesday’s game, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. Vanderbilt will fill the void, and while he doesn’t offer much value offensively, starting may raise his defensive ceiling. The other four starters are unchanged.

Vincent has missed the Lakers’ last nine games with a lumbar back strain. With LeBron James (foot) out, there will be a need for more offense from the available players. However, Vincent will not exceed 18 minutes in his first game back, so there’s no need to stream him.

James is dealing with left foot joint arthritis and right sciatica, and he could be sidelined for the second leg of the Lakers’ back-to-back set after going for 30/8/8 in Tuesday’s win over New Orleans. If James is sidelined, more minutes could be available for Jarred Vanderbilt and Dalton Knecht.

After Friday’s dud against the Grizzlies, Ayton has bounced back with two solid performances. On Tuesday, he recorded his second double-double in five games and 13th of the season. Generally speaking, when Ayton is involved in the offense early, he can be relied on for solid effort/production throughout. Fantasy managers who have him rostered will certainly root for the Lakers to feed Ayton early before Luka Dončić and LeBron James take over.

Dončić has scored at least 30 points in five straight games, recording two double-doubles during this run. If there’s been an issue for the Lakers’ star, it has been turnovers, which should not surprise any fantasy managers. Dončić recorded five on Tuesday, a number that he’s met in five of his last six appearances. While the turnovers aren’t an issue for eight-cat managers or those willing to punt the category, this is something that nine-cat managers have to anticipate when drafting Dončić.

James has scored at least 30 points in two of his last three games, and Tuesday’s overall stat line was a reminder of what he’s still capable of doing. The 41-year-old finished two rebounds and two assists shy of a triple-double while shooting over 50 percent from the field and not missing a free throw. Over the past two weeks, James has been a top-20 player in eight-cat formats. With Austin Reaves (calf) out for a few more weeks, LeBron boasts a higher fantasy ceiling.

Tuesday’s game is the ninth that Vincent will miss as he continues to work his way back from a lumbar back strain.

Coming off of one of his least productive games of the season, Ayton bounced back with a solid effort on Sunday. The Lakers did more to get him involved early on the offensive end of the floor, resulting in the 7-footer bringing the engagement that’s required of him on defense. While Ayton remains a top-75 fantasy player for the season, he has been ranked outside the top-150 over the past two weeks. Hopefully, he can build on Sunday’s performance, especially defensively.

With Rui Hachimura (calf) and Austin Reaves (calf) unavailable, LaRavia came up big for the Lakers in their two wins over Memphis. Having scored 21 points on Friday, he dropped 26 in Sunday’s rematch and recorded a near-complete stat line. Rostered in just 18 percent of Yahoo! leagues, LaRavia has been a top-50 player in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. With the Lakers playing four games in Week 12, now is the time to add LaRavia if he’s sitting on your league’s waiver wire.

James finished Sunday’s victory with his fourth double-double of the season and first since December 18. Add in his committing just one turnover, and this was an excellent night to have the 41-year-old rostered in nine-cat formats. Over the past two weeks, he has been a seventh-round player in nine-cat formats. While that still doesn’t align with his Yahoo! ADP, James is making strides after the delayed start to his season stunted his production early on.

Dončić has scored at least 30 points in four straight games, and he’s tallied at least 25 points in 12 consecutive meetings with the Grizzlies. And on Sunday, Dončić kept the turnovers in check, recording three. Over the past two weeks, he has offered top-10 per-game value in eight-cat formats. The Lakers play four games in Week 12, starting with the Pelicans on Tuesday.

Porter has recorded three double-doubles in his last four appearances, but the 25 points scored in Sunday’s win were the most in a game for him in nearly a month. A fourth-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, Porter continues to exceed expectations in fantasy basketball. For the season, he has been a first-round player in eight-cat formats. The Bucks play three games in Week 12.

Usually, the approach of having Giannis earn his points at the foul line results in him leaving some points on the board, given his poor shooting at the free-throw line. Well, that approach didn’t work for the Kings, as he made 11 of his 13 attempts on the night. Add in an elite shooting performance from the field, and the Bucks superstar finished with his third 30-point double-double in as many appearances. While Milwaukee’s not playing again until Wednesday is bad news for fantasy managers, it does get Giannis a little more time to deal with his right calf.
LAL • Forward • #28

Counting Sunday’s game against the Grizzlies, Hachimura has missed the last three games with a calf injury. And, based on Lakers head coach JJ Redick’s words on Sunday, the forward will miss at least two more games. The Lakers have a Tuesday/Wednesday back-to-back on the road against the Pelicans and Spurs, and Hachimura will not travel. There’s a chance that he gets in some practice time with the Lakers’ G League affiliate while the team is away, but that isn’t guaranteed. Jake LaRavia will continue to start until Hachimura is healthy enough to play.

Due to Rui Hachimura’s recent injuries, LaRavia has started four of the Lakers’ last six games. Nights like Friday are why he’s on the streaming radar in deeper leagues, and maybe a few standard leagues as well. The 21 points were the most he’s scored in a game since November 2, and LaRavia has been a top-75 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. Rostered in nine percent of Yahoo! leagues, he’s worth picking up ahead of Sunday’s rematch.

James recorded his second 30-point game of the season on Friday, and fantasy managers will also find the rebounds and assists useful. Over the past two weeks, the 41-year-old has offered fifth-round per-game value in eight-cat formats, pushing his season-long value into the top-100. With Austin Reaves (calf) out for a few more weeks, the Lakers will have to rely even more on LeBron and Luka Dončić as they look to stay among the top teams in the Western Conference.

Dončić matched his season-high with 20 free-throw attempts, which boosted his overall points tally. He’s now scored at least 30 points in 18 of the 25 games he’s played, one reason why the Lakers’ guard has offered top-10 per-game value in eight-cat formats this season.

Antetokounmpo delivered the game-winner on an alley-oop slam with five seconds left in regulation, reaching the lofty 30-point plateau in the process. The 31-year-old fantasy superstar has scored 24 points or more in four consecutive contests since returning from injury last week and has notched back-to-back double-double performances. He shot 61 percent from the floor in this one with all 18 of his attempts coming from inside the arc. Perhaps the most impressive element of this effort was that he went a perfect 8-of-8 from the charity stripe.

Rollins drilled a clutch three-pointer in the final minute before setting up teammate Kyle Kuzma for a go-ahead trey with just over 10 seconds remaining in regulation. The 23-year-old guard has been up-and-down from a scoring standpoint but he’s settled in as a reliable all-around offensive threat and a big reason why Milwaukee is starting to turn things around. He’s delivered top-50 overall fantasy value this season, averaging 17.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.4 blocks through 35 games.
