Turner and Kuzma are good to go after being listed as questionable and probable, respectively, for Thursday’s game. Both will be part of the Bucks’ starting lineup, with fantasy managers hopeful that they can have productive nights against the rebuilding Jazz.

Despite Norman Powell being available for Thursday’s game, he will come off the bench. Instead, Fontecchio moves into the starting lineup, with Miami still without Andrew Wiggins (toe). Fontecchio can provide some points and three-pointers in that role, but there should be better streaming options on most waiver wires.

Jaquez, who was not on the injury report for Tuesday’s loss to the Hornets, is back on the list due to tightness in his left hip. He was also questionable ahead of Saturday’s game against the Magic, a game that he would log 30 minutes in. Jaquez was limited to 20 minutes on Tuesday.

Adebayo is on track to return to action Thursday night after sitting out Tuesday’s loss to the Hornets. With Tyler Herro and Norman Powell available, Kel’el Ware will likely be headed to the bench. Ware should still be rostered in 12-team leagues, but he isn’t as valuable in shallow formats when Miami’s three stars are available.

Milwaukee believes it will be mutually beneficial if he sits out the rest of the season, likely since it would help improve their lottery odds. However, Antetokounmpo wants to play. He’s set to be re-evaluated early next week after being diagnosed with a left knee hyperextension and bone bruise. This clear tension will certainly continue to fan the flames of trade rumors that have surrounded Giannis and the Bucks for most of the season.

Following a two-game absence with an illness, Dieng returned to the lineup for this game, though he didn’t remain in the starting lineup after starting the six games prior to his absence. However, he still played 30 minutes off the bench and was able to pour in the points from beyond the arc. Dieng should continue to play big minutes for the rest of the season, especially with Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) sidelined for at least the next week.

After missing Sunday’s game against the Pacers, which was the second night of a back-to-back, KPJ returned to take on Cleveland. He had his first double-double and highest-scoring performance of the month, though it wasn’t enough to get the win over his former team. Still, it was a strong outing for KPJ and his best since he returned from a four-game absence with the knee injury. He’ll look to stay hot in Utah on Thursday.

Johnson took on extra minutes off the bench with Bam Adebayo (calf) sidelined. He filled out the backup center minutes behind Kel’el Ware in what ended up being a small reserve lineup for Miami. Clearly, it wasn’t an effective strategy. Still, Johnson was able to have a productive night in 20 minutes off the bench, though even if Bam misses another game, Johnson shouldn’t be seen as a safe streaming option.

Powell returned from a seven-game absence with a groin injury on Saturday and scored 20 points off the bench. He fell short of that mark in this game, but he was still productive, and he moved into the starting unit with Bam Adebayo (calf) sidelined. If Adebayo is back to take on the Lakers on Thursday, either Powell or Pelle Larsson will be pushed to the bench, though Powell should see plenty of shots regardless.

KPJ’s return will push AJ Green back to the bench, while Prince and Sims will fill in for Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and Myles Turner (calf). Giannis is set to miss at least one week, so either Prince or Sims could remain with the opening group for multiple games.

Adebayo avoided the Heat’s original injury report, but was added Monday night as questionable with right calf tightness and downgraded to doubtful Tuesday afternoon.

With Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) out Sunday, Rollins stepped into the starting lineup and managed 36 minutes of action.

Portis and Giannis Antetokounmpo carried the Bucks’ offense in this one as the duo combined for 60 points in the win over the Pacers on Sunday.

Jakučionis started a second straight game with Tyler Herro (quad) sidelined, and this outing was far more productive than the first. He set a new career high for rebounds and had one of his most effective scoring nights of the season. Jakučionis clearly has plenty of talent and is only 19 years old, making him a valuable asset in dynasty leagues. However, his lack of consistent minutes makes him a difficult player to roster in standard leagues.

The second-year guard has been a starter for most of the season for Miami, but he hasn’t been a consistent fantasy contributor. However, he was productive in this game and ended up setting a new career high for scoring while still contributing in other categories.

Well, it wasn’t exactly an encore. Two days after finishing with 83 points, the second-most in a game in NBA history, Adebayo struggled from the floor and finished with a quarter of his total points from the win over the Wizards. Though he was able to get to the free throw line at a decent rate, he wasn’t able to replicate his 43 attempts from Tuesday’s game. He was still able to extend his streak of 20 point games to eight in a row.
