Back in the rotation after sitting out Tuesday’s overtime loss to the 76ers, Caldwell-Pope enjoyed one of his best games of the season. A double-digit scorer in six of his last seven appearances, the veteran guard recorded his first 20-point game of the season on Friday. All that Caldwell-Pope’s stat line lacked was a blocked shot. However, despite how well he played against one of his former teams, KCP is not worth the risk in most leagues. Unless there’s a dire need for a “Hail Mary” on Sunday, there’s no need to pick him up ahead of the rematch with the Lakers to end Week 11.

While he didn’t offer great value as a scorer, Morant’s 11 assists were the most he’s had in a game since November 7 (13 vs. Dallas). Since returning from injury on December 26, the Grizzlies’ point guard has offered fifth-round per-game value in eight-cat formats. Morant certainly has the potential to be more productive, but many fantasy managers likely remain concerned due to the injury risk. The Grizzlies face the Lakers again on Sunday to end Week 11.

The good news for fantasy managers is that Jackson scored 25 points, making it four of the last five games that he’s scored at least 21 points. The bad news is that he didn’t do much else. Jackson landed in early foul trouble, picking up four before halftime. That affected how he went about his business, as evidenced by the lack of blocked shots. While Jackson has never been an excellent rebounder, grabbing just one is poor. Hopefully, he can bring more to the table in Sunday’s rematch to end Week 11.

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.

Caldwell-Pope missed Memphis’ most recent game, an overtime loss to the 76ers on Tuesday. His absence factored into GG Jackson playing 23 minutes off the bench. If KCP remains out, Jackson should surpass 20 minutes, but he is not worth the risk in most fantasy leagues.

KPJ was one of Milwaukee’s top couple of scorers on Wednesday, and he shot efficiently from the floor despite major struggles from the three-point line. He also contributed on the glass and as a passer, which have been standard for him this season. Poter will continue to be counted on by the Bucks for nightly production, regardless of who he is sharing the floor with. He finished December strong and should remain a productive fantasy basketball option at the guard position.

Rollins was part of a productive starting backcourt on Wednesday, performing adequately alongside Kevin Porter Jr. to put up fairly strong numbers. Rollins led the Bucks in assists and was one of three players to tally at least 15 points. He’s rotated in and out of the starting lineup recently, but he’s remained effective regardless. He’ll look to carry his recent success into 2026 as the Bucks face the Hornets on January 2.

Antetokounmpo logged just 28 minutes against the Wizards as he eases his way back from a calf injury. Still, he managed to reach the 30-point mark and tally double-digit rebounds for the first time in over a month. The former league MVP failed to accumulate any stocks in this game, however, and was inconsistent from the line. Otherwise, his night was encouraging, and his performances moving forward should remain strong as his minutes increase.

Morant took over late in this game to help force overtime by scoring 18 points in the fourth quarter. He added six more in overtime, but it wasn’t enough for Memphis to get the win. Still, this was Morant’s best game of the season as he set a new season high for scoring. Morant’s main issue has been health, but if he can remain on the floor and stay this hot, fantasy managers should get a nice stretch from him.

For the first time this season, Koloko got the starting nod. This was only his fifth game with Memphis, and while he had taken on a larger role in recent games, he still played fewer minutes than Santi Aldama, who he replaced in the starting lineup. Aldama played 36 minutes off the bench and finished with 15 points, six rebounds, two assists and four blocks. Even if this lineup doesn’t change, Aldama will remain a standard league option.

This was the sixth double-double of Coward’s rookie season, but this was better than the rest. He set career highs for both points and rebounds, though it wasn’t enough for Memphis to get the win. Coward has proven that he should be viewed as an elite asset in dynasty leagues and is already making an impact in redraft leagues as a rookie. This was an impressive performance for him, and he’ll look to keep it going against the Lakers on Friday.

Despite Santi Aldama and Jock Landale being available for Tuesday’s game, the Grizzlies have thrown fantasy managers a curveball. Koloko will start, conceivably to help keep the other Grizzlies bigs out of early foul trouble with Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid available. This is an excellent opportunity for Koloko, whose 10-day contract is winding down.

Porter was excellent as he has been all month, mostly without Giannis Antetokounmpo. In December, the 25-year-old shooting guard is averaging 20.5 points per game, 5.8 rebounds per game and 8.0 assists per game. Porter should be rostered in more than 67 percent of Yahoo! leagues at this point.

Portis came off the bench again with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Ryan Rollins in the starting lineup. The 30-year-old power forward was very efficient in his 23 minutes, dropping 25 points on 12 shots and making five three-pointers. Portis remains one of the more reliable bench players in the league and he showed it again in the win over the Hornets Monday.

Antetokounmpo was still on a minutes restriction in his second game since returning from a three-week absence due to a right calf strain. The 31-year-old’s production has been excellent while only playing 25 minutes in each game. Giannis capped off the victory against the Hornets with a dunk over Brandon Miller despite being fouled with just over a minute left in the fourth quarter. The Bucks will be back on the court Wednesday against the Wizards.

Already a solid fantasy option, Aldama’s ceiling has been raised recently due to injuries to Zach Edey and Jock Landale. Over the past week, he has provided seventh-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, exceeding his season-long value by a few rounds. Aldama recorded his fourth double-double on Sunday, and the four steals were a season-high. Rostered in 46 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he’s worth a look in more 12-team formats, even with the Grizzlies playing three games in Week 11.

While the stat line did not include any rebounds, steals or blocked shots, what Morant did provide to fantasy managers was encouraging. The Grizzlies’ point guard was efficient as a scorer and playmaker, shooting 50 percent from the field and finishing with an assist-to-turnover ratio of over 2-to-1. Morant is still on a minutes restriction, and it’s unknown when that will change. However, he’s still capable of offering value despite not hitting 30 minutes.

Jackson has picked up the production since returning from an ankle injury that sidelined him for two games in late November. After scoring 20 points or more in three of his first 15 games, the Grizzlies forward has accomplished that feat in eight of his last 15, including two with 30 or more. In addition to his second 30-point game of the season, Jackson recorded a complete stat line. Over the past two weeks, he has provided top-10 per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats. The Grizzlies open a three-game Week 11 on Tuesday against the 76ers.

Antetokounmpo didn’t show any signs of rust in his first game action since December 3 after an eight-game absence due to a right calf strain. He dropped 15 points on 7-of-9 shooting in the first half and nearly reached the lofty 30-point plateau in just 24 minutes. He also uncorked a windmill dunk in the final seconds with the game in hand that drew a strong reaction from the Bulls and led to a benches-clearing incident. It seems likely he’ll have a bit of a minutes restriction for at least a couple additional games but it’s a welcome development for fantasy managers to get him back in the lineup. The Bucks have four games on tap next week including a pair against the Hornets in addition to the Wizards and Kings.

Porter Jr. had several highs and lows throughout Friday’s loss. He finished as the Bucks’ second leading scorer, but shot poorly overall and made only one of his seven three-point attempts. He also tied a team-high in assists, although his seven turnovers led to a poor assist-to-turnover ratio and cost his team several scoring opportunities. His eight turnovers were impactful and helped add to his balanced stat line. However, he left a lot of meat on the bone and will look to be more consistent on Saturday against the Bulls.

Portis utilized efficient shooting and tied a season-high in rebounds before earning his fourth double-double in the past six games. He was one of five Milwaukee players to score at least 15 points, and one of three Bucks to collect multiple steals.
