With four of Milwaukee’s five starters ruled out for a season finale that had no impact on playoff seeding, Smith played extended minutes for the first time since early February. The rookie played very well, shooting 66.7 percent from the field and recording his first 20-point game. Smith has not been in the rotation this season, and that isn’t going to change during the playoffs. But give the rookie credit for staying ready for his moment, which presented itself on Sunday.

Kuzma was the lone starter on the court for Sunday’s regular-season finale and did not get cheated as he went on a heater for a quarter. He was back in street clothes for the second half. While he’s had his moments since joining the Bucks at the February trade deadline, Kuzma has not been as impactful as some may have hoped. Milwaukee will need a player closer to the one they saw on Sunday if they’re to take down the Pacers in the first round.

Having been passed in the rotation by AJ Green (6/3/4 with two three-pointers in 19 minutes), one can argue that Connaughton desperately needed a day like Sunday, regardless of the strength of the two teams on the court. Not only did he establish a new career-high point total, but this was also his first game with at least 25 points. Connaughton shot over 50 percent from the field and was also productive in the rebound, assist and steals categories. His role in Milwaukee’s first-round series against the Pacers will likely be limited, but Sunday’s effort should boost Connaughton’s confidence.

Ware was the lone regular in the Heat starting lineup for Sunday’s regular-season finale, as they were locked into a play-in tournament matchup with Chicago. With that in mind, it’s unsurprising that the rookie only logged 20 minutes, with Keshad Johnson (17/8/1/2 with two three-pointers in 28 minutes) among the Heat reserves whose opportunities increased. Ware will assume his usual role on Wednesday, while Johnson will be inactive as a two-way contract player.

The Heat rested most of their key contributors for Sunday’s regular-season finale, resulting in Jaquez having the ultimate “green light” offensively. The good news for fantasy managers in active leagues who streamed him is that the offensive freedom did not crater his efficiency. Jaquez shot 68 percent from the field and finished with a career-high point total. Add in the rebounds, assists and three-pointers, and Sunday’s performance should instill some confidence in Jaquez ahead of Wednesday’s matchup with Chicago, even if his role is going to be vastly different with Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo on the court.

It’s unclear how soon Lillard will be cleared to return to the hardwood but an upcoming exam will determine his timetable. Kevin Porter Jr. is averaging 13.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game without the star point guard this season.

Tyler Herro, Alec Burks, Andrew Wiggins and Bam Adebayo are out for Sunday’s regular-season finale, getting an extra day of rest before Wednesday’s play-in tournament matchup with the Bulls. Mitchell, Robinson, Jaquez and Highsmith are the replacements, with the first two being especially valuable to fantasy managers in active leagues seeking value on the waiver wire.

The Bucks are holding out Ryan Rollins, Taurean Prince, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Brook Lopez from Sunday’s regular-season finale, as their playoff seeding has been determined. Kuzma is the lone holdover, and it’s likely safe to assume that he will not play starters’ minutes. Green is the safest bet of the four replacements for fantasy managers in active leagues seeking streamers.

Green’s sprained right shoulder will sideline him for Sunday’s regular season finale. Given how many Bucks rotation players are inactive for a game that will not impact playoff seeding, Andre Jackson Jr. will merit consideration in active deep leagues.

With Friday’s win over the Pistons, the Bucks secured the fifth seed in the East. They have nothing to play for in Sunday’s regular-season finale. Trent and Porter are among the key contributors who will not play, resting up for the start of the playoffs next weekend. Stanley Umude and Jamaree Bouyea should play rotation minutes on Sunday, and both are extremely risky plays in active fantasy leagues.

Prince and Rollins are among the Bucks’ rotation players nursing injuries, so they will not play in Sunday’s regular-season finale. Milwaukee secured the fifth seed in the East with its win over Detroit on Friday. Andre Jackson Jr. and Pat Connaughton have not impacted fantasy basketball this season, but they’re among the Bucks who will be available on Sunday and should log significant minutes.

Having secured the fifth seed in the East with their win over the Pistons on Friday, the Bucks will rest most of their key contributors on Sunday. That includes Antetokounmpo, who has been dealing with a shoulder injury. Kyle Kuzma is the lone starter who will be available, but fantasy managers in active leagues should not expect to see him take on a full workload. Bobby Portis and Chris Livingston are also available, with the former being a tricky fantasy play due to his importance to the Bucks.

While Burks has been a consistent member of the Heat rotation, Jovic has not appeared in a game since fracturing his hand just after the All-Star. Whether or not Nikola will be available for Miami’s play-in tournament matchup with the Bulls is unknown, but the Heat have no such concerns with Burks. The Heat are locked into the 10-seed regardless of Sunday’s result, so players like Keshad Johnson and Josh Christopher should play plenty.

Miami already knows its seed and opponent for next week’s play-in tournament, so there isn’t anything at stake for Sunday’s regular-season finale. Wiggins and Larsson will rest up for next week’s matchup with the Bulls, as will multiple Heat rotation players. Terry Rozier and Jaime Jaquez Jr. are absent from the injury report, so they should log extended minutes on Sunday.

The Heat are locked into the 10-seed in the East, regardless of Sunday’s outcome. Herro and Adebayo will sit out the regular season finale to avoid a little wear-and-tear ahead of their play-in tournament matchup with Chicago. While Kel’el Ware is available, his playing time could be limited since there isn’t anything on the line. Keshad Johnson and Josh Christopher are two players who are likely to log extended minutes after not being in the rotation for most of the season.

Kuz and Rollins are the only typical starters that are expected to be available for Milwaukee against Detroit.

Adebayo’s line would’ve been reasonable had he played at least 35 minutes Friday against the Pelicans, but it was all the more impressive because he only played 22 minutes as the Heat won by 49. The 27-year-old center still managed a double-double and hit four three-pointers. While he got off to a slow start this season, Adebayo has finished the year strong for fantasy managers that stuck with the Heat big man.

Ware played just 26 minutes as the Heat blew out the Pelicans by 49 points. The 20-year-old center still managed to put up a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds. Ware is just scratching the surface of his potential in his first season in the NBA. He’s been a top-100 player in fantasy since the All-Star break and remains a growth stock that we’re interested in buying in future seasons.

Herro had 22 points on just 10 shots in 22 minutes against the Pelicans Friday. The 25-year-old point guard was +46 as the Heat won by 49 points. Herro was probable with a thigh injury, but would’ve played more minutes had the game been closer. The Heat take on the Wizards in the season finale Sunday, where a similar situation could arise as the game is only meaningful to the Heat.

Porter Jr. continues to be a revelation in the season’s final two weeks. The 24-year-old point guard came off the bench Friday, but played 31 minutes, more than every starter not named Giannis Antetokounmpo. While Porter Jr. has certainly benefited from the absence of Damian Lillard, he’s also been a top-50 fantasy player over the last two weeks. He’s made the most of his opportunity and that shouldn’t go unnoticed.

Portis has been awesome in three games since returning from a suspension for taking a banned substance. The 30-year-old power forward had his second double-double in his last three games. Portis played 33 off the bench and will be a key player for the Bucks in the first round of the playoffs.

The Bucks only needed one more win to secure the fifth spot in the Eastern Conference playoff standings and they got it on Friday. Antetokounmpo was probable with a shoulder injury, but played 38 minutes and had a triple-double against the Pistons Friday. It wouldn’t be surprising to see him rest in the Bucks’ season finale against the Pistons Sunday.

The good news for Miami is that Herro is back after missing Saturday’s loss to the Bucks due to an injury. His return means Duncan Robinson heads to the bench, where his fantasy value takes a noticeable hit. However, the Heat will be without Ban Adebayo, so Highsmith moves into the starting five. While starting gives him a shot at fantasy relevance, Haywood’s inconsistent production makes him difficult to rely on.

Herro is back in the Heat lineup after missing Saturday’s loss to the Bucks. His return means Duncan Robinson will head to the bench, which limits the three-point shooter’s fantasy value. Burks has been a fixture in the starting lineup since March 25, and that’s unlikely to change on Monday.

Adebayo’s absence has a more significant impact on the Heat rotation and fantasy basketball, as Wiggins has not played since March 27. Bam not playing may result in Kyle Anderson moving into the starting lineup, while starter Kel’el Ware’s playing time should increase. As for Wiggins, Pelle Larsson will continue to fill the void he’s left in the starting five. Larsson is worth a look in extremely deep leagues that remain active.

Lopez has scored at least 17 points in four straight games, one of his most productive stretches of the season. In addition to his 20 points, the veteran center finished Sunday’s victory with a double-double and four blocked shots. Before Sunday, Lopez last recorded four or more blocks in a game on March 13. He’s provided third-round value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks and will have added value for Week 23, especially if Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) misses more time.

As with Gary Trent Jr., the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) meant Porter would move into the starting lineup on Sunday. He had an excellent night in New Orleans, shooting just below 50 percent from the field while not committing a turnover. Porter has not been the safest streaming option with Damian Lillard out of the lineup, but he did boast a higher ceiling. He’ll be worth a look in active leagues for Week 23, as the Bucks play four games.

With Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) out, Trent moved into the Bucks’ starting lineup on Sunday. The move gave him a welcomed boost, and Sunday was an excellent night to stream the guard. Not only were Trent’s 29 points a season-high, but this was also his first game with at least 20 since March 20. Damian Lillard’s absence has raised Trent’s ceiling, but he’s even better when Giannis is also out, since it has meant he’ll be in the starting lineup.

Antetokounmpo is unavailable for Sunday’s game after putting forth an outstanding effort in Saturday’s win over the Heat.

If Doc Rivers sticks with that approach, Ryan Rollins will lose value because he moves to the bench.

Since the All-Star break, Slo Mo has been ranked outside the top 250 in eight- and nine-cat formats.

Mitchell was one of two Heat players to notch a season-high point total on Saturday, with Alec Burks being the other. “Off Night” has provided sixth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks, a welcome turn of events for a player who has not been much of a fantasy asset during his NBA career. With the Heat playing in one of the two games on Monday’s schedule, Mitchell is worth a dice roll in leagues that will be active.

Despite starting Miami’s last seven games, Burks has not been on the radar of most fantasy leagues, and with good reason. He’s been far too inconsistent, so he remains rostered in just one percent of Yahoo! leagues. Saturday’s performance was Burks’s best this season, as he recorded a season-high point total and hit six three-pointers. For managers whose leagues run through Week 23, Miami’s four-game week may offer some intrigue, especially since they’re active on Monday. However, Burks boasts an extremely low floor, especially if Tyler Herro can play.

While he could not lead the Heat to a win on a night when Tyler Herro was unavailable, Adebayo recorded an excellent stat line for those who have him rostered.

The Heat were without Tyler Herro for Saturday’s game, leading to Robinson moving into the starting lineup. The good news for the Heat is that he played 31 minutes without any issues, as Robinson has been dealing with a back injury. From a production standpoint, the points and three-pointers were expected.
