Jones has been a starter all season, but with Coby White (calf) potentially making his season debut, Jones could be pushed back to the bench. Jones will likely start if White is out, but if both guards are sidelined, Kevin Huerter would be in line for another start.

Antetokounmpo did not play in Wednesday’s loss to Charlotte, but he was back in the lineup two days later. His probable tag ahead of the second game of a back-to-back bodes well for Giannis’ availability, and fantasy managers must ensure he’s in their active lineups. With Kyle Kuzma starting on Friday, Bobby Portis may be the next man up if Giannis can’t play.

Prince underwent the procedure on Thursday in Los Angeles, and the Bucks announced that updates on his recovery will be provided when deemed necessary. While Prince was shooting nearly 43 percent from three on 3.5 attempts per game at the time of his injury, his minutes had decreased from 27.1 in 2024-25 to 21.1 this season. Kyle Kuzma, who has started Milwaukee’s last two games, has a higher ceiling with Prince unavailable but likely needs to remain a starter to be worth the risk in standard leagues.

Rollins continues to be a consistent scoring presence for the Bucks. The 23-year-old shooting guard had 20 points on 12 shots and went 4-of-6 from behind the three-point line against the Hornets on Friday. Rollins is too productive in his role to still be available in most Yahoo! leagues.

Kuzma remained in the starting lineup while Giannis Antetokounmpo returned from a knee injury. While it’s unclear if Kuzma will remain in the starting lineup going forward, it certainly worked against the Hornets on Friday. Kuzma’s 29 points were the most he’s had this season and the second time he’s had at least 26 points in his last three games. Fantasy managers may want to ride the hot hand with Kuzma here. The Bucks have a date with the Lakers on Saturday, and that’s a revenge game for Kuzma.

Antetokounmpo’s 18 assists tied Cade Cunningham for the most in a game this season. The 30-year-old power forward was efficient, scoring 25 points on 18 shots and finding open teammates to create offense. Giannis played 40 minutes in his first game back from a knee injury. The Bucks have a meeting with the Lakers on the second night of a back-to-back on Saturday.

Giannis missed Wednesday’s loss against the Hornets, but will return from his knee injury on Friday as the Bucks look for payback. Expect Kyle Kuzma to shift to the bench with Antetokounmpo back in the starting lineup.

One game removed from knocking down four three-pointers, Huerter missed all four of his attempts on Wednesday. However, he shot 10-of-13 from inside the arc, resulting in his second consecutive 20-point game. Huerter’s fantasy value depends on the availability of Josh Giddey, who’s missed the last two games with a sprained ankle. If Giddey is available for Sunday’s game in Utah, it will be safe to drop Huerter onto the waiver wire.

Still ranked outside the top-200 in eight- and nine-cat formats, Okoro has not done enough to merit being rostered in most fantasy leagues. However, he’s capable of having the occasional productive night, as was the case on Wednesday. Okoro hit double figures for the second time in three games and the fifth time this season, halfway to his total for the entire 2024-25 season. There’s no need to consider adding Okoro, but his performance against the Pistons was on par with what Bulls fans hoped they would get from Patrick Williams (7/5/1/1/1) consistently.

Buzelis recorded his first double-double of the season on Wednesday, with the 14 rebounds being a career-high. While he hasn’t reached his Yahoo! ADP (80) just yet, the second-year forward is providing top-100 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. While things may change once the Bulls have Josh Giddey and Coby White in the lineup together, Buzelis has shown enough that fantasy managers should be confident that his value won’t take much of a hit, if any, when that time comes.

As expected, Kyle Kuzma received the starting nod with Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) unavailable. However, Portis provided greater value despite coming off the bench. A double-digit scorer in three straight, the 14 points are the most in a game for Portis since he dropped a season-high 16 on November 1 against the Kings. As for Kuzma, he finished Wednesday’s defeat with eight points, three rebounds, four assists, one steal and one blocked shot, shooting 3-of-12 from the field.

The Bucks did not have Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) on the floor for Wednesday’s game, which increased Turner’s importance on offense. He shot the ball well, making half of his 14 attempts while also recording two steals and two blocks on defense. The lone disappointment for fantasy managers was Turner’s inactivity on the boards, grabbing just three rebounds. However, he’s never been the strongest rebounder, so a night like Wednesday is unsurprising.

Rollins continues to flourish for the Bucks, finishing Wednesday’s defeat with his third 20-point game of the season. With no Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) on the floor, the Bucks’ point guard attempted 15 shots, the most in a game for Rollins since October 30. Even better for fantasy managers is that the increased shot usage did not negatively impact Rollins’ efficiency, as he shot 66.7 percent from the field and committed just two turnovers. He’s still rostered in 49 percent of Yahoo! leagues, which is too low given Rollins’ role and his production.

Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is out for Wednesday’s game, opening up a massive void in the Bucks’ starting lineup. Kuzma will step into the role, and this matchup could be one where he can provide additional value. Even on a 12-game night, it wouldn’t hurt to roll the dice on Kuzma.

Giannis is still dealing with left knee patellar tendinopathy and will miss Wednesday’s game against the Hornets. The 30-year-old power forward had appeared in 10 of the first 11 Bucks games and was averaging 33.4 points, 11.9 rebounds and 6.2 assists. Ryan Rollins, Bobby Portis and Kyle Kuzma are the most likely to benefit from Giannis’ absence with Kuzma likely replacing him in the starting lineup.

Due to a lingering case of left knee patellar tendinopathy, Antetokounmpo is back on the Bucks’ injury report. While Wednesday’s game is not part of a back-to-back, this may be viewed as an opportunity to get the superstar forward additional rest. If Giannis doesn’t play, Kyle Kuzma is the likely replacement in the starting lineup. He hasn’t been a great fantasy option this season, but the chance to start without Giannis raises Kuzma’s ceiling.

Injured during the third quarter of Saturday’s loss to Cleveland, Giddey did not play in Monday’s loss to San Antonio. His spot in the starting lineup was filled by Kevin Huerter, who tallied 23 points, five rebounds, five assists, one block and four three-pointers. He’s worth streaming if Giddey remains out, while managers in deeper leagues should also consider Ayo Dosunmu.

Kuzma came off the bench and played 32 minutes against the Mavericks on Monday. The 30-year-old small forward is seeing additional minutes with Taurean Prince (neck) out for the foreseeable future. Kuzma was the main support for Giannis Antetokounmpo offensively against the Mavericks and that’s a role he could occupy more despite averaging 12.4 points per game so far.

Antetokounmpo had at least 30 points for the fourth time in his last five games. He continues to dominate from a usage perspective as Kyle Kuzma was the only other Bucks player with at least 20 points. Giannis has been a top-10 fantasy player to start the year. The Bucks have three more games this week, starting with the Hornets on Wednesday.

Dosunmu recorded his third 20-point game of the season on Monday, helping pick up the slack offensively on a night when the Bulls did not have Josh Giddey (ankle). The former second-round pick may be rostered in less than 20 percent of Yahoo! leagues, but he is providing top-100 value in nine-cat formats. Dosunmu’s streaming value is dictated by the availability of Josh Giddey, who did not play on Monday due to a sprained ankle. If Giddey can’t play against the Pistons on Wednesday, don’t hesitate to consider Dosunmu in deep leagues, even if he doesn’t start.

Due to Coby White’s calf injury, Jones has been a starter since the beginning of the season. However, Josh Giddey joining White on the sideline for Monday’s game gave Jones more room to operate with the ball in his hands. Not only did he record seven assists, but the point guard notched his first 20-point game of the season. Jones has scored 15 points or more in four of his last five games and is ranked within the top-50 in nine-cat formats. Rostered in 31 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he’s worth a look while the Bulls are without their expected starting backcourt.

With Josh Giddey (ankle) unavailable, Huerter made his first start of the season on Monday. And “Red Velvet” was excellent, shooting over 50 percent from the field and finishing a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. Rostered in 14 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Huerter is providing seventh-round value in nine-cat formats. He isn’t a must-roster player when the Bulls are whole, but with Giddey and Coby White out, Huerter is a worthwhile streamer.

While he’s only recorded one 20-point game as a Buck, Turner’s defensive production has been what fantasy managers hoped for. The 6-foot-11 center recorded three steals and three blocks on Sunday, the third time in four games that he’s produced at least five “stocks.” Turner is providing fifth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, and all that’s needed to improve that would be a modest boost to his scoring.

Rollins continues to provide excellent value as the Bucks’ starting point guard. He’s scored in double figures in nine straight games and has offered third-round per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats since moving into the starting lineup on October 24.

Giannis didn’t record any defensive stats on Sunday, the first time he’s done that since the Bucks’ opener, but the offensive production remained elite.

Despite shooting just 63.5 percent from the foul line, Antetokounmpo’s field-goal percentage has increased by three points compared to last season. Also, his rebounding average has increased while the turnovers have decreased. The Bucks play four games during Week 4, starting with the Mavericks on Monday.

Rollins continues to flourish as the Bucks’ starting point guard, enjoying his third game with at least 20 points on Friday. He’s proven to be a good fit alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has taken on more playmaking responsibilities this season.

However, holding onto him would not be the worst idea, even after Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) returns from injury.

For the first time as a Buck, Turner has recorded a 20-point game. In fact, he entered Friday having surpassed 15 points just once. While he can provide valuable spacing for Giannis Antetokounmpo, that has generally resulted in the “Greek Freak” getting downhill even more and finishing at the basket, rather than a few more catch-and-shoot opportunities for Turner. He was more involved in the offense on Friday, resulting in his best performance of the season thus far.

While many expected that Giddey merely scratched the surface of what he’s capable of in Chicago last season, his start to the 2025-26 campaign has exceeded expectations.

After scoring 22 points off the bench in the Bucks’ last game, Kuzma was able to have another decent performance against Indiana. The discouraging part is that he only played 16 minutes. Kuzma struggled during the second half of last season after being sent to the Bucks, though he was part of the starting lineup. Now, he’s come off the bench in almost every game this season. He’s playing better, but if he isn’t getting the opportunity, his upside is limited.
