Sims was held out of Tuesday’s loss to the Suns, with his absence factoring into Pete Nance playing 12 minutes off the bench. If Sims remains out, there’s nothing for fantasy managers to gain from streaming Nance.

Portis did not play in Tuesday’s loss to the Suns, which led the Bucks to rely even more on starters Giannis Antetokounmpo and Myles Turner. That likely remains the case if Portis can’t play against the Heat, and they’re already rostered in most, if not all, fantasy leagues.

Atlanta won a seventh straight game in this one, and during that stretch, Daniels has averaged 11.6 points, 7.7 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 2.6 steals and 0.6 turnovers per game while shooting 59.4 percent from the floor. He has been incredible and a big reason why Atlanta has had recent success. He has his obvious limitations, but Daniels has been producing at an incredibly high level as of late regardless.

NAW has been fantastic all season, but he did hit a bit of a rough patch in February. However, he has gotten back on track recently. Over his last three games, he has averaged 25.3 points and 4.7 triples per game while shooting 60.4 percent from the floor, and this was his highest-scoring outing since January. NAW will look to stay hot against the Nets on Thursday.

Johnson had a fewer rough performances by his lofty standards since the All-Star break, but he has gotten back on track recently. They only have two more games this week, but he will continue to fill it up in the box score every night. The Hawks have won seven games in a row and will look to keep that up against the Nets on Thursday, which is another favorable matchup for Johnson.

To say that Turner needed a night like Tuesday would be an understatement. Over his last five games entering the matchup with the Suns, the Bucks’ center averaged 6.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.8 steals, 1.2 blocks and 1.4 three-pointers in 20.6 minutes, shooting 31.4 percent from the field. Turner’s 22 points were the most in a game for him since January 27, when he dropped 31 on the 76ers. Simply put, nights like Tuesday have been few and far between for Turner, which is not what the Bucks expected when they signed him in free agency.

Before Tuesday, it had been just over a month since Kuzma last surpassed 20 points in a game, much less 30. He dropped his third 30-point game of the season on Tuesday, with the 33 points being a season-high. The numbers in the categories outside of points and three pointers were a bit limited, but Kuzma still managed to record a complete stat line. The Bucks play three more games in Week 20, starting with the Heat on Thursday.

Back in the lineup after sitting out Sunday’s loss to the Magic, Antetokounmpo logged 30 minutes against the Suns. This was the first time he’s played at least 30 minutes since returning from his second calf strain of the season, so the limit is clearly increasing. That’s good news for fantasy managers, as many are counting on Giannis to be his usual dominant self during the fantasy playoff weeks.

Saturday’s win over the 76ers was a quieter performance for Okongwu, but he was able to get back on track in this one. Over his last seven games, he has five double-doubles and has been able to contribute plenty of steals and blocks during that stretch. He hasn’t been a strong rebounder this season, but he has been more impactful on the glass in recent weeks, leading to elite fantasy production.

While the Bucks will have Kyle Kuzma, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Myles Turner available for Tuesday’s game, there won’t be much depth otherwise.

Prince, who underwent surgery in November to address a herniated disk in his neck, is good to go for Tuesday’s game. While Rivers did not say anything about potential minutes, the veteran wing may not take on a full workload due to the time he’s missed. He can provide three-pointers and steals as part of the Bucks’ rotation, but that isn’t enough to make Prince a must-add player immediately.

Milwaukee will have all of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kyle Kuzma and Myles Turner available for Tuesday’s tilt with Phoenix, but frontcourt depth will be thin if Portis and Sims are ruled out.

Thomas had a nice game with 17 points and six assists in 20 minutes off the bench against the Magic on Sunday. Still, the 24-year-old shooting guard’s scoring has been sporadic since he was acquired by the Bucks. Thomas has scored at least 10 points in just three of his last eight games after a hot start with his new team. More consistent minutes would go a long way towards helping him regain value.

Portis played 28 minutes with the Bucks losing by 39. The 31-year-old power forward had a nice game with 18 points and 10 rebounds, but it wasn’t enough to keep the Bucks within striking distance of the Magic. Portis was on fire from behind the three-point line making 4-of-5 attempts. He remains one of the most important bench players in the league. The Bucks have four games coming up in Week 20, starting with a matchup against the Suns on Tuesday.

Sunday’s game is the second in as many nights for the Bucks, who beat the Jazz on Saturday. Giannis’ absence opens a massive hole in the starting lineup, with Bobby Portis and AJ Green being potential replacements.

While he did not record any defensive stats, Dieng provided excellent value in the rebound and assist categories. The nine helpers matched his career-high, and the eight rebounds were one less than his total over the previous five games. The rebounding may be what keeps Dieng in the starting lineup, as that area has been a weak spot for the Bucks. If so, he’s a player whose value would increase in deeper leagues as the season winds down.

While Rollins didn’t shoot the ball well on Saturday, making only two of his six attempts from inside the arc and 3 of 9 from outside of it, his rebounding was essential.

Rollins will look to offer a bit more scoring-wise on Sunday when the Bucks host the Magic.

Kuzma was inserted into the starting lineup on Saturday, a few days after head coach Doc Rivers made it clear that he believed the unit needed more size. While Kuzma shot the ball relatively well against the Jazz, he did not offer much as a rebounder. Neither did Myles Turner (eight points, three rebounds, two blocks and one three-pointer), whose struggles on the glass factored into his playing 18 minutes.

After playing 25 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the Hawks, Antetokounmpo logged 27 on Saturday. The Bucks are taking a measured approach to his workload and have not wavered, even in moments when the team’s lead may be slipping away.

Milwaukee has one more game in Week 19, as it hosts Orlando on Sunday.

McCollum has reached double figures in four straight and ten of his last 11 appearances, having moved into the Hawks’ starting lineup six games ago.

After scoring 23 points in Wednesday’s rout of the Bucks, Alexander-Walker dropped an efficient 24 on the 76ers.

Johnson was the best player on the floor on Saturday, finishing three assists shy of a triple-double. The Hawks forward entered the game having totaled 33 points in his prior three appearances, shooting 12-of-30 from the field.

Rollins didn’t have a great night shooting the basketball, but he did provide solid value in the rebound and assist categories. Starting for the injured Kevin Porter Jr. (knee), Rollins’ 12 assists were the most in a game for him since November 20, when he dished out a career-high 14 against the 76ers. Rollins played 33 minutes against the Hawks, with Milwaukee’s lack of point guard depth contributing to his playing more than the other four starters. The Bucks play twice more during Week 19, starting with the Jazz on Saturday.

Dieng’s 14 points in Wednesday’s defeat weren’t a shocking development. However, fantasy managers likely hoped to get more from him in the other relevant categories. Dieng’s fantasy value has remained low, but he’s a player for whom the Bucks will likely attempt to find more playing time during the final weeks of the regular season. He started and played 26 minutes on Wednesday, with his playing time taking a hit because the game was a blowout.

Wednesday’s game was one that the Bucks needed, as they trailed Atlanta by four games for the final play-in spot. Unfortunately for Giannis and co., they were on the wrong end of a blowout at home. Of importance to fantasy managers was that Antetokounmpo played 25 minutes, matching his number in Monday’s loss to the Celtics. The concern now is what happens if the Bucks fall even further off the pace for a play-in spot, especially if that were to happen during the playoff weeks in fantasy leagues.

He has been excellent through two games with the Hawks, but he hasn’t been this efficient throughout his career. Still, the counting stats should be there.
