The big news for the Bucks is that Gainnis is back and will be in the starting lineup. However, there are two changes to the starting five, as Rollins will also start. As a result, Kevin Porter Jr. and Gary Trent Jr. will return to the bench. However, both still have streaming value as Damian Lillard (calf) remains out.

Giannis is back after sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the Nuggets. His return means Gary Trent Jr. will likely head to the bench, but his value should hold since Damian Lillard (calf) is unavailable.

Following an extended absence, Hachimura appeared in three straight games before sitting out Thursday’s loss to Chicago. That game was the second leg of a back-to-back set, and the Lakers will likely manage Hachimura’s knee injury moving forward. He started and logged 28 minutes in his last game out, and fantasy managers should expect a similar workload against Memphis. Dorian Finney-Smith may see a dip in playing time as a result.

While Reaves went off for 30 points during Thursday’s loss to the Bulls, he also tweaked his right ankle. With LeBron James and Luka Doncic off the injury report, the Lakers will have enough firepower to account for Reaves’ absence if he cannot play. Gabe Vincent and Jordan Goodwin may play additional minutes, but neither would be a must-stream player.

Since returning from seven-game absence due to a calf injury, James has been quiet as a scorer. He has scored less than 20 points in three of his last four games, and he barely held on to his lengthy streak of double digit games on Wednesday. He’ll get things clicking eventually, and he was able to make up for it with 12 dimes on Thursday, which was the most he has had in a game since early February. Unfortunately, the only things people will remember from this game will be LeBron turning it over late and then Josh Giddey hitting the game-winner from half court over James’ outstretched hand.

Doncic wasn’t able to extend his streak of 30-point games to five, but he was still able to provide well-rounded production despite a subpar shooting night. It wasn’t enough to offset the late-game heroics from Chicago, but it was more than enough to make an impact for fantasy managers. The Lakers will wrap up the week in Memphis on Saturday, and then they’ll play four games next week, with a back-to-back on Thursday and Friday. However, Doncic was able to play in this back-to-back for the Lakers, so managers shouldn’t stress, especially with LA fighting for playoff positioning.

Reaves has been unstoppable recently, and he was able to add another 30-point performance on Thursday, which was his third over the past two weeks. It is worth noting that he tweaked his ankle in a second-straight game, but he was able to return to close out the game. He took advantage of an opportunity to be the hero twice late in the fourth quarter; he extended the Lakers’ lead to five with a pair of free throws and hit a layup with with three second left to give them the lead back. Unfortunately, his night was spoiled by some magical moments from Josh Giddey.

Despite playing 38 minutes each in Wednesday’s win over the Pacers, Doncic and James are not on the injury report for Thursday’s game in Chicago.

While this transaction does not impact fantasy basketball, as Goodwin was already in the Lakers’ rotation, it does affect the NBA Playoffs. Two-way contract players are not eligible for the postseason, so addressing Goodwin’s status means he will be available. However, with 15 players already under standard contracts, the Lakers must waive someone to free up a spot for Goodwin.

With Milwaukee playing Wednesday without Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo, Lopez stepped up and surpassed the 20-point mark for a third straight game. Over the past two weeks, the Bucks center has offered third-round value in nine-cat formats. Even if Giannis returns for Friday’s game against the Knicks, Lillard’s indefinite absence means there will continue to be additional opportunities for Lopez to flourish offensively.

Even with the move into the starting lineup, not much changed for Trent regarding where he provided value. Eleven of his 15 shot attempts were from beyond the arc, with the Bucks guard connecting on four. AJ Green offered a more robust stat line despite coming off the bench, finishing with 15 points, five rebounds, five assists and five three-pointers in 34 minutes. Trent remains the superior streaming option if Giannis Antetokounmpo is not healthy enough to play on Friday. However, deep-league managers should consider Green since the minutes will be there if Giannis is out.

Porter replaced Ryan Rollins in the Bucks’ starting lineup on Wednesday, providing solid value in the rebound and assist categories. However, he shot 33.3 percent from the field, including an 0-of-4 night from three. The lineup change may have benefitted Rollins, who spent more time playing against reserves. He finished 17 points, one rebound, three assists, two steals and two three-pointers in 18 minutes. Fantasy managers who decided to stream Porter should hold onto him, especially with Damian Lillard (calf) out indefinitely.

After coming off the bench in his first two games back from the knee injury that sidelined him for nearly one month, Hachimura returned to the starting lineup on Wednesday. Still under a minutes restriction, Rui played 28 minutes and only attempted five shots from the field. However, he made two critical fourth-quarter three-pointers and was 4-of-4 from beyond the arc. Due to Hachimura’s minutes restriction, Dorian Finney-Smith (11/3/1/2/1 with three three-pointers) logged 31 minutes despite coming off the bench. The Lakers visit the Bulls on Thursday, which could result in a return to the starting lineup for Finney-Smith. Hachimura should be considered questionable.

James’ streak of 1,252 straight games in double figures was in jeopardy, as he entered the fourth quarter of Wednesday’s game without a made field goal. He made four during the final frame, with the last being a tip-in as time expired to give the Lakers the win. LeBron has shot 43.5 percent from the field over the past two weeks, a reason why his fantasy value has decreased. However, as he said during his postgame interview, James is good enough to be impactful even if his shot isn’t falling. Thursday’s game against the Bulls will be his first back-to-back since returning from a strained groin, so fantasy managers should consider LeBron questionable.

Reaves has now scored 22 points or more in seven of his last eight outings, with Monday’s loss to Orlando being the exception. Over the past two weeks, he has been one of two Lakers offering first-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, joining Luka Doncic. Regardless of the availability of Luka and LeBron James, Reaves continues to provide excellent fantasy value. The Lakers play two more games during Week 21, starting with the Bulls on Thursday.

Defensive lapses aside, Doncic finished Wednesday’s victory with a solid stat line. This was the third time in five games he’s only committed three turnovers, and the five-time All-Star finished one steal shy of a complete stat line. Over the past two weeks, Doncic has offered top-10 value in eight- and nine-cat formats, proving slightly more valuable in the former. However, with the Lakers visiting the Bulls on Thursday, Luka is not guaranteed to be available. He sat out the second game of the team’s most recent back-to-back on March 19-20.

In addition to Damian Lillard, the Bucks will be without Giannis Antetokounmpo for Wednesday’s game.

Antetokounmpo was already out for Wednesday’s game against the Nuggets. The good news is that Rivers expects the former MVP to be available for Milwaukee’s next game, Friday night, against the Knicks. The absences of Giannis and Damian Lillard (calf) raise Gary Trent Jr.'s fantasy ceiling, making him a player worth streaming in standard leagues. Kevin Porter Jr. will be worth a look in deeper leagues, but Trent is the player who should be targeted.

Initially diagnosed with a strained right calf, a deep vein thrombosis has reportedly developed. While blood-thinning medications have neutralized the blood clot, the Bucks guard will be out indefinitely and will continue to be tested regularly. From a fantasy standpoint, Lillard may not return in time to help managers who have relied on him for high-level production during the playoff weeks. While Ryan Rollins has been the replacement in the starting lineup, Gary Trent Jr. is the player who should be targeted on waiver wires.

Giannis has been a fixture on the Bucks’ injury reports as of late, but it’s been for a knee issue. This latest injury is a new one, and it could keep Antetokounmpo on the sideline for the first time since the All-Star break. Milwaukee is already shorthanded in the frontcourt.

Despite being used in a reserve role, Trent’s fantasy value has increased with Damian Lillard out of the Bucks’ lineup. Over the past week, he has provided fourth-round value in nine-cat formats. Points, three-pointers and steals have been the areas in which Trent has been most valuable recently, and he had good nights in those categories in Phoenix. Rostered in just 10 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Trent is worth rostering while Lillard sits.

While Lopez has scored 20 points or more in four of his last eight appearances, the rebounding production should not be overlooked. The 10 boards he grabbed on Monday were the most in a game for the veteran center since March 4, and his average of 5.0 per game is the lowest for Lopez since the 2019-20 campaign. That said, excellent percentages are why he has been a fifth-round player in nine-cat formats this season. And over the past two weeks, Lopez has shot 63.8 percent from the field and 86.4 percent from the foul line.

For the first time in nearly three weeks, Antetokounmpo has recorded back-to-back 30-point games. He recorded his 49th double-double of the season on Monday and continues to record gaudy stat lines. The foul shooting remains problematic, but that is something many fantasy managers have come to expect. With Damian Lillard injured, the Bucks will lean on Giannis even more. That’s good news for fantasy managers, especially with Milwaukee playing three more games during Week 21.

Reaves’ streak of games with at least 22 points ended at six on Monday, as the Magic kept him in check for most of the night. However, he has been an elite fantasy option over the past two weeks, providing top-10 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Of course, some of those games were played without LeBron James, so the expectation was that Reaves’ numbers would take a hit once he returned. While the scoring will be impacted, Reaves is a talented player who can compensate for that hit with improved production in other categories.

Finney-Smith has made at least three three-pointers in three of his last four outings, with Saturday’s loss to the Bulls being the exception. Being a starter raises his fantasy ceiling, especially with Rui Hachimura still under a minutes restriction. Hachimura played 24 minutes on Monday, finishing with five points, three rebounds and one steal. Whether or not JJ Redick sticks with this lineup for the rest of the fantasy season remains to be seen, but deep-league managers who have Finney-Smith rostered should hold onto him for now.

While Doncic did not have a great night shooting the ball, he did keep the turnovers in check. After racking up 13 in his two prior appearances, the Lakers guard only had three on Monday. Over the past two weeks, Doncic has been a top-5 player in eight-cat formats and top-15 in nine-cat. The most significant concern for Luka managers during Week 21 is the Wednesday/Thursday back-to-back against the Pacers and Bulls. He has played both ends of one of the Lakers’ last three back-to-backs, so Doncic could only be available for two of the Lakers’ final three games of the week.

After logging 31 minutes in his first game back from a strained groin on Saturday, LeBron played 38 against the Magic. While he did not record any defensive stats, the offensive numbers were recorded efficiently, with the 40-year-old shooting 50 percent from the field and only committing two turnovers. The Lakers will play three more road games during Week 21, starting with a midweek back-to-back against the Pacers and Bulls.

Appearing in a game for the first time since February 27, Hachimura was said to be on a limit of 20-24 minutes on Saturday. He only played 18, due partially to things getting out of hand in the Lakers’ 146-115 defeat. Hachimura did not provide much value in his time on the court, and his fantasy prospects aren’t as promising when used in a reserve role. Dorian Finney-Smith (2/2/1/1/1 in 21 minutes) has been the starter since Hachimura’s injury; while his fantasy ceiling is lower, DFS’s defensive ability makes him a solid fit in the Lakers’ starting lineup. Whether or not that remains the case once Rui’s restriction is lifted may be another matter, as he played well before the knee injury.

James returned to the Lakers’ lineup on Saturday after missing seven games with a strained groin. Unfortunately for him, things did not go as smoothly as hoped. While LeBron recorded solid numbers in the rebound, assist and steals categories, he was also responsible for five turnovers. With the game getting out of hand during the fourth quarter, James exited with 6:42 remaining, finishing at 31 minutes. A player displaying some rust in their first game back from injury is unsurprising, even for one of LeBron’s caliber. He’ll look to bounce back on Monday in Orlando, the first of four games the Lakers play during Week 21.

LeBron James’ return to the Lakers lineup did not significantly impact Reaves’ production. He was highly efficient and extended his streak of 20-point games to six. Since the All-Star break, the Lakers guard has provided top-25 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Reaves’ usage is not on par with that of James or Luka Doncic, but it doesn’t need to be. The good news for fantasy managers is that the Lakers play four games during Week 21, starting with the Magic on Monday.

Doncic was excellent offensively when he shot the ball Saturday night. The issue was turnovers, as he racked up seven turnovers. The Lakers guard has been responsible for five or more in nine of his last 11 outings. However, this isn’t a significant issue in eight-cat formats or for managers willing to punt turnovers. Also, Doncic has been productive enough across the board to alleviate the impact of the turnovers, providing top-20 value in nine-cat formats during this 11-game stretch. The Lakers hit the road for four games during Week 21, starting with the Magic on Monday.

Trusting Porter in fantasy basketball has been a fool’s errand most nights. However, he came up big for a Bucks team without Damian Lillard. Porter shot 80 percent from the field and provided six assists, compensation for spot starter Ryan Rollins’ subpar performance. Rollins played 21 minutes, going scoreless with two rebounds and four assists. Milwaukee plays four games during Week 21, and Porter will be worth streaming if Lillard remains out.

With Damian Lillard unavailable due to injury, Lopez had more room to flourish offensively. The 21 points are the most he’s scored since March 13, moving his total to five 20-point games since the All-Star break.

For fantasy managers who have him rostered, Brook is playing well at the right time, especially with the Bucks playing four games during Week 21.

After a pedestrian first half in which he shot 3-of-9 from the field, Antetokounmpo flipped a switch during the halftime break. He scored 22 points in the third quarter, doing most of his damage in the restricted area.

Milwaukee will play four games during Week 21, starting with the Suns on Monday.
