Two days removed from being held to six points in an overtime win over the Nets, Siakam was excellent in Saturday’s rematch. Spicy P has now scored 25 points or more in five of his last six appearances, turning it on offensively at the right time for those who have him rostered. Since March 11, Siakam has provided fifth-round value in eight-cat formats. He and the Pacers begin a four-game Week 21 on Monday against the Timberwolves.

Saturday was an excellent day to roster Turner, as he was efficient offensively and recorded a complete stat line. Over the past two weeks, the Pacers center has provided third-round value in nine-cat formats. As long as Turner remains healthy, he has the potential to be a difference-maker during the fantasy playoff weeks due to his ability to provide excellent value in multiple categories. The Pacers play four games during Week 21.

After missing three games with a back injury, Haliburton played 32 minutes in his return to the Pacers’ lineup on Saturday. While he didn’t have his best night shooting the ball, Tyrese did record another points/assists double-double with eight rebounds. Over the past two weeks, Haliburton has provided second-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. The Pacers play four games during Week 21, including a Wednesday-Thursday back-to-back.

Haliburton is set to return after a three-game absence due to a back injury. He’ll replace Bennedict Mathurin in the starting lineup and lower his fantasy ceiling while also taking playmaking duties away from Andrew Nembhard.

Trent Jr. has been managing a knee issue, but he has played in Milwaukee’s last seven games. That isn’t expected to change on Saturday, and with Damian Lillard out, Trent Jr. may be asked to do a little extra scoring once again after he scored 23 points on Thursday.

Haliburton is still dealing with low back soreness that has sidelined him for the last three games. If his absence continues Saturday, the Pacers are likely to keep Bennedict Mathurin in the starting lineup while Andrew Nembhard remains in the point guard spot.

Antetokounmpo hasn’t found many bad matchups this season, and he certainly didn’t run into any issues against the Lakers’ backups. He only played 29 minutes, and the lopsided score was the only thing that was able to slow him down. It was a nice “get right” game for Giannis after two subpar performances against elite defenses on Sunday and Tuesday. Milwaukee will wrap the week up in Sacramento. Antetokounmpo had a 33-point triple-double against them when they faced off in January.

GTJ continues to be a reliable scoring option off the bench for Milwaukee, and he was able to step up on Thursday and have one of his best performances of the season. He tied his season-high for scoring and fell one three-pointer shy of tying his season-high. This was the fifth-straight game that Trent Jr. scored in double figures, which has led to strong fantasy production during this stretch. He’ll look to keep it going in Sacramento on Saturday.

With Damian Lillard (calf) sidelined, Rollins got the starting nod at point guard for Milwaukee. He didn’t have an efficient shooting night across his 29 minutes, but he was still able to contribute value in other categories. Rollins has been the starter most of the time that Lillard has been sidelined, but that hasn’t happened often. It may not have happened on Thursday if the Lakers had their normal rotation available. Rollins is only worth considering as a streaming option when Lillard isn’t available.

After only scoring nine points in 22 minutes on Wednesday, Turner bounced back and had his first double-double in nearly a month and his first 20-point double-double since December. He also had his highest block total in a game since Indiana’s first game after the All-Star break; he swatted seven shots in that game. This was the ideal game for managers that have Turner rostered, and he’ll look to repeat this performance in a rematch with Brooklyn on Saturday to close out the week.

This was an uncharacteristically quiet performance from Siakam that came 24 hours after he scored 29 points in a win over Dallas. It was a new season-low in scoring for Siakam and only the second time this season that he failed to score at least 10 points. He entered this game having scored at least 25 points in four consecutive games. A disappointing result for fantasy purposes, but Siakam still did enough for Indiana to get the win in overtime. Siakam will look to get back on track in a rematch with the Nets on Saturday.

This was a third-straight start for Mathurin in place of Tyrese Haliburton, who has been sidelined with a back injury. Mathurin has scored at least 20 points in all three starts, but he was also able to set a new career-high for rebounds in this game. He has averaged a career-high 5.4 rebounds per game this season, but this was the best rebounding night of his career by a decent margin. Mathurin hasn’t been able to consistently provide value in categories other than scoring, but if he can continue to improve as a rebounder, he may be able to produce top-100 value in nine-cat leagues eventually.

Damian Lillard (calf) will miss a game for the first time in almost a month, which will open the door for Rollins to enter the starting lineup. Rollins contributed 15 points, four rebounds, four assists, three steals, one block and two three-pointers in his most recent start.

Nembhard continues to operate as Indiana’s primary point guard with Tyrese Haliburton sidelined, but it was a subpar night on Thursday. He struggled with his shot and ended up with more turnovers than assists, which is the exact opposite of what Haliburton typically provides. His night also ended early. Nembhard picked up a technical during an altercation with Trendon Watford in the fourth quarter, and he picked up a second technical in overtime. Even if he played out the final few minutes, there wasn’t much Nembhard would have been able to do to redeem his night.

This will be a third-straight absence for Haliburton, which should lead to another start for Bennedict Mathurin, with Andrew Nembhard taking over as the team’s primary playmaking option once again. It’s unclear if Haliburton will be back to play against Brooklyn on Saturday.

Lillard was initially probable with the groin injury that has landed him on the injury report often in recent weeks. However, a calf injury now has him listed questionable.

Nembhard was the starting point guard Wednesday with Tyrese Haliburton out. The 25-year-old had 22 points and eight assists in the win against the Mavericks. It was more than a respectable effort, but his fantasy ceiling will be limited once again when Haliburton returns to the starting lineup.

Kuzma led the Bucks in scoring on Tuesday, as Giannis Antetokounmpo shot 5-of-16 from the field and Damian Lillard (16/3/4/1/1 with two three-pointers) was 6-of-18. However, Kuzma’s production mainly was limited to points and three-pointers. And the move from Washington to Milwaukee hasn’t done much for his fantasy value. Since the All-Star break, Kuzma is ranked outside the top 200 eight-cat formats. His status as a starter makes Kuzma a player who should be rostered in standard leagues, but the returns have not been what many fantasy managers hoped for.

Antetokounmpo recorded a respectable stat line on Tuesday, but the Warriors did a good job of making him work for his opportunities. The Bucks forward shot 5-of-16 from the field, his worst effort of the season to date. The good news for fantasy managers is that Giannis only committed one turnover while providing solid value in the rebound, assist, steals and blocked shot categories. He’ll look to bounce back on Wednesday when the Bucks visit the Lakers.

The Pacers were without their entire frontcourt for Monday’s game, so Walker was able to make his second start in four games. The second-year forward was solid in his 35 minutes on the court, but fantasy managers likely kept their expectations in check. Thomas Bryant was another fill-in, and he finished Monday’s victory with 10 points, seven rebounds, one steal, two blocks and one three-pointer in 33 minutes. The fantasy values of Bryant and Walker moving forward depend on the availability of Pascal Siakam and Myles Turner; they’re only worth the risk if the veteran starters remain out.

Following Monday’s overtime victory, Pacers coach Rick Carlisle gave McConnell credit for willing the team to the extra period. The veteran point guard took on a more prominent role within the rotation, as Tyrese Haliburton was out with an injury and Andrew Nembhard was ejected during the third quarter. McConnell’s point total did not increase substantially, but he did dish out 13 assists. T.J. will have added value if Haliburton has to miss more time.

Mathurin took on a prominent role in the rotation, with the Pacers playing Monday’s game without four starters. That included the unenviable task of guarding Anthony Edwards for extended periods. While Mathurin would eventually foul out, he did score 22 points before exiting. The field-goal percentage wasn’t the best, but Benn surpassed the 20-point mark for the first time in five games. His value for the rest of Week 20 depends on the availability of Aaron Nesmith, who missed Monday’s game with an ankle injury.

Monday was a great night for former Knicks first-round picks. While Toppin did not reach the 46 points tallied by Quentin Grimes, the 2020 lottery pick came up huge for the Pacers. With four starters unavailable and the fifth ejected during the third quarter, Obi was called on to be an offensive focal point. He answered the call, scoring 34 points with a double-double. And his seventh three-pointer was a shot with 3.8 seconds remaining in overtime, giving the Pacers the two-point victory. Toppin should be picked up if Pascal Siakam and Myles Turner remain out for Wednesday’s game against the Mavericks.

Sims had been able to play through the thumb injury, but the Bucks opted to fix the issue now to ensure that he will be ready for the postseason. Sims only played a small role off the bench, but it was a critical one to keep Giannis Antetokounmpo and Brook Lopez as fresh as possible. Now, Giannis and Lopez will likely have to stagger as the center options due to the lack of bigs on the bench.

Lopez’s two blocked shots were welcome, as he has recently been “hit or miss” in that category. His four-block effort against the Lakers on March 13 was sandwiched between zero-block efforts. However, Lopez has averaged 1.9 rejections per game since the All-Star break, which is one reason why he has been a top-50 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. While Jericho Sims (four rebounds, one assist and one blocked shot in 12 minutes) is playing through a thumb injury that could require surgery, the Bucks may need to rely on Lopez even more down the stretch.

Lillard’s nine field goal attempts are the fewest he’s had in a game since February 27, but an 11-of-11 night at the foul line boosted the point total. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, the Bucks point guard was responsible for two assists, the fewest for him in a game since February 25. However, Sunday’s game was more a “blip on the radar” than anything, as Lillard has been a top 20 player in eight- and nine-cat formats since the All-Star break.

Giannis finished Sunday’s defeat with his seventh triple-double of the season, but the point tally may not have been what fantasy managers hoped for. The production is unsurprising, as Oklahoma City is ranked first in defensive rating.
