Portis showed again Thursday why he leads all active bench players in double-doubles with 15 points and 12 rebounds in the win over the Thunder. The 31-year-old small forward seems to be over his hip injury. With the All-Star break approaching, Portis and the Bucks are off until Friday, February 20 against the Pelicans.

Dieng has struggled to produce or see minutes consistently this season, but has flashed a high-ceiling in the last two games. The 22-year-old small forward followed up a 17-point performance in 23 minutes in the win against the Magic on Wednesday with a full stat line in the win over the Thunder on Thursday. Dieng had 19 points and was just four assists shy of a triple-double while also contributing on the defensive end with a steal and four blocks. He also made three three-pointers. The Bucks deciding to keep giving him more minutes could lead to more games like this in the future.

The Pacers were fined $100,000 for violating the Player Participation Policy in relation to the team’s February 3 game against the Jazz. After an investigation that included an independent review, it was deemed that Pascal Siakam and two other starters could’ve played under the medical standard in the policy. The team could’ve also held those players out in a way that “better promoted compliance” with the policy, according to a release from the NBA.

Turner wasn’t on the initial injury report, but was a late scratch with right calf soreness. Ousmane Dieng had 17 points in 23 minutes in Wednesday’s win over the Magic and could be in for even more minutes with Turner out Thursday against the Thunder, Dieng’s former team.

Kuzma returned from a calf injury earlier this week, only to find himself back on the injury report with a foot injury. Initially listed as questionable for Thursday’s game against the Thunder, Kuzma was ruled in. He had 15 points, seven rebounds and two assists in Wednesday’s win over the Magic.

Rollins is set to miss his second consecutive game with right foot plantar fasciitis. With the 23-year-old guard out Wednesday against the Magic, Cam Thomas stepped up and dropped 34 points in the victory. Thomas could be in for another big performance with Rollins out, though it’s a more difficult matchup as the Thunder lead the league in defensive efficiency.

Rollins sat out Wednesday’s matchup with Orlando, but he’s got a chance to return for the second leg of Milwaukee’s back-to-back set. If Rollins ultimately sits out, Cam Thomas could be in for another big performance. Thomas dropped 34 points against the Magic and hit a key triple late in the game to seal the victory.

Walker returned from a one-game absence due to an illness and was inserted into the starting unit with multiple starters sitting out. That led to his fourth 20-point outing of the season, which was enough for the Pacers to win their second straight game. Walker should continue to play a significant role down the stretch, and while there will likely be some inconsistency mixed in, he should have some big performances like this one.

Potter started the Pacers’ game on Tuesday but was pushed to a reserve role for this one. However, his minutes only decreased by two. He ended up setting a new season-high for scoring and recorded his third double-double of the season. With Ivica Zubac expected to be sidelined for a while, Potter should be a big part of the rotation in Indiana for the remainder of the season, which could lead to more productive outings like this one.

KPJ’s play dwindled in January, but his first four games back after missing time with an oblique injury have been excellent. He has averaged 21.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 8.8 assists and 2.3 steals per game, which has helped the shorthanded Bucks remain competitive. As long as Giannis Antetokounmpo remains out, KPJ should be productive as a high-usage player, and he was able to record his second triple-double of the season in this game.

Thomas only played 13 minutes against Orlando on Monday, but he took on a larger role in the rematch and was far more productive. His role dwindled over the final weeks of his Nets’ tenure, but in his second game with Milwaukee, he had his highest-scoring game since October. If Thomas is able to continue to play this well after the All-Star break, he may be able to secure a long-term deal this summer and be a strong option for fantasy managers down the stretch.

Dieng’s first game with the Bucks was just a five-minute in a blowout loss, and he wasn’t able to do much. However, his role expanded in his second game with the team, and he set a new career high for three-pointers in a game. He’s still only 22 years old, and he holds plenty of upside. He could end up playing a larger role for the Bucks over the final two months of the season, which could lead to more productive outings like this one.

Sims was part of a bigger starting unit for the Bucks with Ryan Rollins (foot) sidelined, and that strategy worked out well for the Bucks. He recorded a double-double and didn’t miss a shot on his way to setting a new career high for scoring. It was also enough for the Bucks to get a win. They play again in Oklahoma City on Thursday, and if Rollins remains out, Sims should be in line for another start.

While Ivica Zubac will have to wait until after the All-Star break to make his Pacers debut, Brown was part of the team’s bench rotation on Tuesday. While the former first-round pick’s production was solid, it wasn’t enough to make him a must-add yet. That said, keep an eye on Brown after the All-Star break, especially if the Pacers decide to do all they can to lock down one of the league’s four-worst records.

Active after a two-game absence, Jackson was inserted into the starting lineup on Tuesday due to Johnny Furphy’s season-ending knee injury. The two-way contract guard took advantage of his opportunity, shooting 4-of-6 from beyond the arc. In addition to the points and three-pointers, Jackson provided solid value in the rebound and assist categories as part of a complete stat line. With the Pacers playing Brooklyn on Wednesday, they’ll likely be shorthanded. If Jackson is active, he’ll be worth streaming if Pascal Siakam and Andrew Nembhard sit.

After recording two double-doubles in 2024-25, Nembhard dropped his eighth of the 2025-26 season on Tuesday. With Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) out, the Pacers guard has shouldered more of the offensive workload. While Nembhard’s fantasy value hasn’t received the boost that many fantasy managers hoped for before the season began, his role makes him a must-roster player. As for Wednesday’s game against the Nets, fantasy managers need to play for Nembhard not playing, as he’s missed one leg of each of Indiana’s last two back-to-backs.

The Pacers entered Tuesday with a 3-22 road record this season, but that didn’t prevent them from taking down the Knicks in overtime. As he’s done on many occasions this season, Siakam led the way offensively and showed why he’s headed to the All-Star Game despite Indiana’s poor record. The 30-point game was his tenth of the season and first since January 21. However, with Siakam having missed one leg of the Pacers’ past two back-to-backs, this may have been his final appearance before the All-Star break. Consider him questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Nets.

One day after his signing was made official, Thomas made his Bucks debut. As was the case in Brooklyn, he came off the bench, playing 13 minutes. The production wasn’t there, but the Bucks do have two more games before the All-Star break.

After totaling 52 points and attempting 32 shots in his final two games of January, Turner has recorded 11 shots or fewer in each of his last five. The good news for fantasy managers is that the Bucks center can offer solid value in other categories, most notably blocks. However, Turner’s production has also tailed off in that category since the calendar flipped to February. He’s totaled eight blocks in five games, six fewer than his total in Milwaukee’s final three games of January. Hopefully, Turner finishes the pre-break portion of the schedule with another good night in the blocks category on Wednesday against Orlando.

Having made at least four three-pointers in four straight games, Green has knocked down 20 in Milwaukee’s first five contests of February.

Only those who need three-pointers should roster Green.

While he shot 1-of-5 from beyond the arc, Porter was highly efficient inside of it on Monday. In addition to shooting 9-of-14 from two, the Bucks’ guard attempted a team-high seven free throws. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) out, even more of the offense runs through Porter and Ryan Rollins (14 points, six rebounds, three assists, two steals and two three-pointers). While that raises the fantasy ceiling of both players, they’ll need to clean up the turnovers in Wednesday’s rematch. Porter was responsible for five turnovers while Rollins racked up six.

Furphy was injured during the third quarter of Sunday’s loss to the Raptors, as he landed awkwardly after finishing a dunk. The second-year wing was taken back to the locker room via wheelchair, and an MRI on Monday confirmed fears that he’d suffered a torn ACL. Furphy started 21 of the 35 games he appeared in this season, averaging 5.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.7 three-pointers in 18.4 minutes.

Nembhard had a rough afternoon in Toronto, continuing a slump in which he’s shot 12-of-40 from the field over his last three games. Having shot 36.1 percent from the field, his fantasy value is ranked outside the top 150 over the past two weeks. While his season-long fantasy value remains respectable, Nembhard’s value has not received the boost that many fantasy managers hoped with Tyrese Haliburton unavailable. He’s higher on opposing teams’ scouting reports, and that’s affected Nembhard’s efficiency.

Sunday’s game got away from Siakam and the Pacers in the third quarter, as the Raptors outscored them by a 44-26 margin. That factored into Spicy P playing only 24 minutes, which may be a concerning development for managers counting on him to deliver consistently excellent production through the fantasy playoffs. However, this was the first game since January 10 in which Siakam played less than 32 minutes, so there’s no need to panic. The Pacers play five games in Week 17, starting with the Knicks on Tuesday.

Just a few days after being waived by the Nets, Thomas has reportedly found a new home. While a player capable of putting up big scoring numbers, the guard has not shown much ability to make plays for others or defend consistently. He’ll get the opportunity to do that in Milwaukee, hopefully using it as a springboard into free agency in the summer. Thomas’ signing could eventually leave a dent in the playing time for Ryan Rollins, A.J. Green, and Kevin Porter Jr.

Walker came off the bench and nearly secured a double-double in his 30 minutes of game action. He took advantage of his scoring opportunities by converting shots at an efficient rate and was active on the boards throughout the game, allowing him to finish as Indiana’s leading rebounder.

Walker should continue to be a nice piece off Indiana’s bench the rest of the season.

Siakam struggled with his shooting on Friday, especially from behind the three-point line, where he made just one of eight attempts. Missed opportunities from the foul line also cost him some points, but he still finished as Indiana’s second-leading scorer against the Bucks. The veteran forward made up for his inefficient shooting performance by making solid contributions on the glass and as a passer. Yet, he left a lot of meat on the bone in this game. He’ll have a chance to get back on track against the Raptors on Sunday.

Porter Jr.'s second game back from injury was even more impressive than his first. He flirted with a triple-double while leading Milwaukee in scoring along the way.

Rollins extended his streak of 20-point games to four on Friday, utilizing the three-point shot to land most of his scoring production, while joining Kevin Porter Jr. and Bobby Portis as the only Bucks players to reach the 20-point mark against the Pacers.

The Bucks secured a third straight win on Friday, with Portis’ scoring playing a key role.
