Rollins didn’t have much success on Monday against a Clippers defense that forced him into five turnovers. But even when he took care of the basketball, points and three-pointers were hard to come by in his 27 minutes of action. Rollins was, however, a difference maker as a playmaker, but not enough to prevent the game from getting out of hand towards the end of the first half. A lopsided score limited Rollins’ time on the floor and ultimately cost him some fantasy production.

Green was one of several Milwaukee reserves who came in and provided offensive production. As usual, his impact came from behind the three-point line; he missed just one shot from deep in his 21 minutes of game action en route to finishing as the Bucks’ second leading scorer on the evening. While his shooting was impressive against the Clippers, Green isn’t someone likely to be a consistent producer in fantasy leagues, given his playstyle and the role he’s currently occupying.

Trent Jr. led the Bucks in scoring on Monday and finished as the team’s only player to tally 20 or more points. For context, 14 of his points came in the fourth quarter of the game that was well out of reach for the Bucks. Yet, seeing the ball go through the hoop for Trent Jr. must have felt great, given his struggles to shoot the ball this season. He’s now recorded back-to-back games with at least three three-pointers. However, Trent Jr. isn’t someone fantasy managers should be looking to add.

Having appeared in 37 games and been active for a few others, Nance was approaching his 50-game limit as a two-way contract player. Monday’s transaction was a deserved reward for the forward, who has averaged 4.5 points and 2.2 rebounds in 12.1 minutes per game this season. In a corresponding move, the Bucks waived Cam Thomas to free up a standard contract slot.

The Bucks will not have Kyle Kuzma for Monday’s game, as he is out with a sore right Achilles tendon. He’ll be replaced in the lineup by Sims, which should give the Bucks a needed boost on the glass. However, he does not bring much to the table as a scorer.

As the Bucks try to put together back-to-back wins for the first time in nearly one month, they’ll have to do so without one of their best scorers. Kuzma, who is averaging 13.1 points over 65 games, will miss Monday’s game after scoring 20 points in the most recent win over Phoenix. As he sits on Monday, Pete Nance could see more minutes; he’s seen an uptick in minutes over the past three games.

Monday’s absence will mark the second straight for the second-year guard out of California. In his sophomore season, Tyson has taken a major leap, becoming one of the NBA’s more consistent three-point shooters. He’s also scoring 13.1 points and pulling down 5.1 rebounds per contest. Sam Merrill, Max Strus, and Keon Ellis should each see plenty of opportunities while Tyson is sidelined.

Rollins had a big night in Phoenix, finishing three assists shy of a triple-double. His floater with 23.8 seconds remaining gave the Bucks a three-point lead at the time. While Rollins would miss the ensuing free throw, one stop later, he was able to return to the foul line and seal the victory. With Kevin Porter Jr. and Giannis Antetokounmpo out, and Kyle Kuzma exiting in the third quarter, more responsibility fell upon Rollins’ shoulders, and he handled the situation well.

Due to tightness in his right Achilles tendon, Kuzma exited Saturday’s game with just over five minutes remaining in the third quarter. That was an unfortunate event for him and fantasy basketball, as the Bucks’ forward was playing well at the time. Kuzma didn’t offer much beyond points and three-pointers, but he has a slightly higher ceiling in points leagues while the Bucks are without Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Bucks play four games in Week 22, starting with the Clippers on Monday.

Mobley recorded a complete stat line while shooting 80 percent from the field in Saturday’s victory.

Having scored at least 20 points in three straight games, Harden’s double-double on Saturday was his first since a March 8 loss to the Celtics. Cleveland has been down some players recently, and that certainly hasn’t helped. However, Harden has provided top-25 value in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break. Cleveland is off until Tuesday, when it opens a three-game week against the Magic.

Mitchell played through a bloodshot left eye, which may have factored into his poor shooting night. However, he still put up 27 points, and fantasy managers can also benefit from the rebounds, assists and three-pointers. Unfortunately, the Cavaliers don’t have a great Week 22 schedule, as they play three games, with the last falling on Friday. Three games of Mitchell is better than four games of most players fantasy-wise, but fantasy managers certainly hoped for a better schedule.

The Bucks co-owner made it clear that the organization has no plans to let the 31-year-old power forward play out the last season on his contract without an extension. Until a deal is made, expect trade rumors to continue to swirl around Antetokounmpo as we head into the summer.

The issue for him has been the foul shooting, with Mobley making 44.1 percent of his attempts during this stretch. However, given how productive he has been, fantasy managers will be fine with the poor foul shooting.

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.

Mobley finished Sunday’s defeat with his second double-double in three games and 21st of the season, and he’s blocked multiple shots in four of his last five games.

Mobley has provided eighth-round value over his last five games; shooting 43.5 percent from the foul line doesn’t help.
