Damian Lillard (calf) has been added to the injury report as questionable to play against the Lakers on Thursday.

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. The Lakers will be without most of their typical rotation, which may be a factor in Lillard’s availability. Kevin Porter Jr. and Ryan Rollins are both candidates to take on extra minutes.

Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) and Jarred Vanderbilt (groin) are doubtful to play against the Bucks on Thursday.

Both forwards are expected to be sidelined for the second leg of the Lakers’ back-to-back. Cam Reddish and Markieff Morris are both candidates to return to the rotation, but at this point, everyone available for the Lakers should play a ton of minutes.

Austin Reaves (ankle) has been ruled out against the Bucks on Thursday.

Luka Doncic (ankle) had already been ruled out for the second leg of the Lakers’ back-to-back, and now Reaves will join him on the sidelines. Gabe Vincent and Dalton Knecht will likely both enter the starting unit, and Jordan Goodwin should see more offensive opportunities with Doncic and Reaves sidelined.

ESPN’s Dave McMenamin reports that Luka Doncic (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday’s game against the Bucks.

Doncic is a little hobbled despite sitting for the entire fourth quarter during his team’s latest win against the Nuggets. He won’t play in the second leg of this back-to-back and Austin Reaves will get a chance to run the show against Milwaukee.

ESPN’s Dave McMenamin reports Luka Doncic (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday’s game against the Bucks.

Doncic is a little hobbled despite sitting for the entire fourth quarter during his team’s latest win against the Nuggets. He won’t play in the second leg of this back-to-back, and Austin Reaves will get a chance to run the show against Milwaukee. Doncic’s absence will open up a spot in the starting unit that may be filled by Dalton Knecht.

Luka Doncic shot 10-of-21 from the field and 7-of-10 from the foul line in Wednesday’s win over the Nuggets, finishing with 31 points, nine rebounds, seven assists, two steals, one block and four three-pointers in 32 minutes.

Doncic came out scalding hot on Wednesday, scoring 21 points in the first quarter on 7-of-11 shooting from the field. The lone negative was the six turnovers, and Luka’s stat line would have been even better had he played during the fourth quarter. The Lakers led by as much as 30, so there was no need for Doncic to play during the final period. Hopefully, that time off will ensure that Doncic will be available for Thursday’s game against the Bucks. The good news is that he played both games of the Lakers’ most recent back-to-back.

Jordan Goodwin accumulated eight points (2-of-7 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, three assists and four steals in 26 minutes in Wednesday’s win over the Nuggets.

Goodwin has started the Lakers’ last four games, filling the void left by LeBron James (groin). While he has reached double figures on three occasions, he has been most valuable in the defensive categories. Averaging 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per game, Goodwin has offered fifth-round value in nine-cat formats in his four starts. Goodwin is only rostered in one percent of Yahoo! leagues and is worthy of consideration among managers seeking defensive production.

Austin Reaves finished Wednesday’s win over the Nuggets with 22 points (8-of-16 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, eight assists, two steals, one block and two three-pointers in 36 minutes.

Reaves has scored 20 points or more in five straight games, and the Lakers are 3-3 since losing LeBron James to a groin injury. Over the past two weeks, he has provided top-20 value in eight-cat formats. The Lakers have two more games to play during Week 20, starting with the Bucks on Thursday. Reaves’ fantasy value will remain elevated as long as James is unavailable.

Trey Jemison (illness) is available for Wednesday’s game against the Nuggets.

Jemison is available after a three-game absence. However, his return will not impact fantasy basketball, as starting center Jaxson Hayes is available. Jemison or Christian Koloko will be the backup center, and neither should be rostered in fantasy leagues.

Luka Doncic (ankle) is available for Wednesday’s game against the Nuggets.

No surprise here as Doncic was initially listed as probable Wednesday against the Nuggets. The 26-year-old point guard played 34 minutes Monday against the Spurs and was one rebounds shy of a triple-double. Doncic should play without limitations Wednesday.

Gary Trent Jr. (knee) is probable for Thursday’s game against the Lakers.

Trent has shown up on the injury report recently with a knee injury, but hasn’t missed any games. The 26-year-old shooting guard figures to be available Thursday given his probable listing. He’ll play around 25 minutes off the bench, but doesn’t have much fantasy appeal outside of deeper formats.

Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and Damian Lillard (groin) are probable for Thursday’s game against the Lakers.

Antetokounmpo and Lillard are again listed as probable ahead of a game. They should both be available for their usual roles as Milwaukee’s offensive focal points.

Kyle Kuzma amassed 22 points (7-of-16 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), two rebounds, two assists and five three-pointers in 36 minutes in Tuesday’s loss to the Warriors.

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.

Giannis Antetokounmpo accounted for 20 points (5-of-16 FGs, 10-of-15 FTs), nine rebounds, seven assists, three steals and two blocks in 38 minutes in Tuesday’s loss to the Warriors.

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.

Trey Jemison (illness) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Nuggets.

Jemison has missed the Lakers’ last three games with an illness, but his absence has not impacted fantasy basketball. Christian Koloko picked up a few minutes off the bench but is not worth rostering in fantasy leagues.

Luka Doncic (ankle) is probable for Wednesday’s game against the Nuggets.

Doncic’s right ankle did not prevent him from playing 34 minutes in Monday’s win over the Spurs, but he did shoot 5-of-20 from the field. Fantasy managers should anticipate him being on the court for Wednesday’s matchup with the Nuggets.

Gary Trent Jr. (knee) is available for Tuesday’s game against the Warriors.

Trent is good to go for Tuesday’s game, which was the expected outcome. He should get about 25 minutes off the bench and is a deep-league option at best.

Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and Damian Lillard (groin) are available for Tuesday’s game against the Warriors.

As expected, Antetokounmpo and Lillard are available for Tuesday’s game. The Bucks will stick with their usual lineup of Giannis, Dame, Taurean Prince, Kyle Kuzma and Brook Lopez.

Jordan Goodwin finished Monday’s win over the Spurs with 15 points (6-of-9 FGs), four rebounds, three assists, three steals, one block and three three-pointers in 33 minutes.

Rostered in one percent of Yahoo! leagues, Goodwin has been one of the most productive Lakers fantasy-wise since LeBron James injured his groin on March 8. Despite inconsistent scoring, the fourth-year guard has been a top-100 player in nine-cat formats over the last five games. A double-digit scorer in three of those five games, Goodwin scored two points in the other two. While the scoring output has been unpredictable, Goodwin has been effective enough as a defender to be worth a look in extremely deep leagues while LeBron sits.

Luka Doncic accounted for 21 points (5-of-20 FGs, 10-of-13 FGs), nine rebounds, four assists, three steals, one block and one three-pointer in 34 minutes in Monday’s win over the Spurs.

Luka Doncic accounted for 21 points (5-of-20 FGs, 10-of-13 FGs), nine rebounds, 14 assists, three steals, one block and one three-pointer in 34 minutes in Monday’s win over the Spurs.

Doncic had a brutal night shooting the ball from the field, going 5-of-20 overall and 1-of-7 from beyond the arc. However, a 10-of-13 night at the foul line salvaged the point total, and he recorded excellent numbers in the rebound, assist and steals categories. Since the Lakers lost LeBron James to a strained groin, Doncic has provided top-5 value in eight-cat formats and top-10 in nine-cat. However, with the Lakers having a midweek back-to-back, Luka may only be available for two of the team’s final three Week 20 contests.

Austin Reaves shot 12-of-21 from the field in Monday’s win over the Spurs, scoring 30 points with seven rebounds, six assists, two steals and five three-pointers in 36 minutes.

Reaves has been on a roll recently, scoring 28 points or more in four straight games. While the Lakers are now 2-3 since LeBron James went down with a strained groin, Reaves has elite fantasy value when James sits. Averaging 28.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 7.6 assists, 1.6 steals and 3.6 three-pointers per game, he has been a top-5 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. With James out for at least another week, fantasy managers who have Reaves rostered are well-positioned to win their Week 20 playoff matchups.

Jarred Vanderbilt was ejected from Monday’s game against the Spurs with 6:27 remaining in the fourth quarter.

Vanderbilt got into a shoving match with Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan, which resulted in both players being ejected. Vanderbilt kicked things off with a forceful forearm to the Spurs forward’s back, and Sochan responded by hitting the Lakers forward with the ball. Vanderbilt shoved Sochan, and both players were ejected after the players and officials broke things up. Vanderbilt finished with two points, one rebound, and one assist in 15 minutes.

Luka Doncic (ankle) and Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) are available to play against the Spurs on Monday.

After initially being listed as probable, both players will be available to play on the second night of a back-to-back. Doncic will continue to be the star that he is, while DFS will remain in the starting unit alongside him with LeBron James and Rui Hachimura still sidelined.

Gary Trent Jr. (knee) is probable for Tuesday’s game against the Warriors.

Trent was considered questionable for Sunday’s loss to the Thunder, ultimately playing 25 minutes off the bench. The probable tag suggests he’ll be available, and fantasy managers should anticipate a similar workload for GTJ. At best, he’s a player to consider in deep fantasy leagues.

Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and Damian Lillard (groin) are probable for Tuesday’s game against the Warriors.

As has been the case on multiple occasions, Antetokounmpo and Lillard are considered probable for a game. They should both be in the lineup for the first game of Milwaukee’s road trip.

Jericho Sims underwent surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right thumb on Monday and is expected to be sidelined for about four weeks.

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.

Jaxson Hayes (knee) is off the injury report for Monday’s game against the Spurs.

Sunday’s win over the Suns was Hayes’ first since missing four with a knee injury, and he played 29 minutes. His availability for the Lakers’ second game in as many nights is a good sign regarding Hayes’ health. Look for Hayes to approach 30 minutes, and he can provide deep-league value with LeBron James (groin) still out.

Trey Jemison (illness) is out for Monday’s game against the Spurs.

Jemison’s continued absence does not impact fantasy basketball, especially with Jaxson Hayes in the Lakers’ lineup. Christian Koloko will remain the backup center, but that isn’t enough to merit being rostered in fantasy leagues.

Luka Doncic (ankle) and Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) are probable to play against the Spurs on Monday.

Both players played significant minutes in Sunday’s win over the Suns, but their ankle injuries aren’t expected to keep them from suiting up against San Antonio. Doncic will continue to dominate regardless of the rest of the team’s status, while DFS has been productive as a starter with LeBron James and Rui Hachimura sidelined. That should continue on Monday.

Brook Lopez accounted for eight points (3-of-8 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, one steal and two blocks in 33 minutes in Sunday’s loss to the Thunder.

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.

Damian Lillard amassed 19 points (3-of-9 FGs, 11-of-11 FTs), one rebound, two assists, one steal and two three-pointers in 29 minutes in Sunday’s loss to the Thunder.

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 Antetokounmpo shot 7-of-15 from the field and 7-of-12 from the foul line in Sunday’s loss to the Thunder, scoring 21 points with 12 rebounds, 10 assists, one steal and two blocked shots in 36 minutes.

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. Antetokounmpo appeared to tweak something in his right elbow during the first quarter, but he did not need to leave the game and played 36 minutes. The Bucks play three games during Week 20, starting with the Warriors on Tuesday.

Gary Trent Jr. (knee) and Jericho Sims (thumb) are available for Sunday’s game against the Thunder.

Trent and Sims are available after the Bucks listed both as questionable for Sunday’s game. The former offers a higher fantasy ceiling, but neither is a must-have in most leagues. Regarding Sims, his sprained thumb could require surgery, but he has been deemed healthy enough to play on Sunday.

Grey Trent Jr. (knee) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Thunder.

Due to left patella tendinitis, Trent has been added to the Bucks’ injury report. A potential absence would free up additional minutes for AJ Green and Kevin Porter Jr. The latter offers a higher ceiling for managers needing offensive production, but Green should not be overlooked.

Kyle Kuzma (illness) is available for Sunday’s game against the Thunder.

Initially questionable for Sunday’s game, Kuzma is available and will be in the Bucks’ starting lineup. Damian Lillard, Taurean Prince, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Brook Lopez will complete the quintet. Kuzma’s availability means neither Gary Trent Jr. nor Kevin Porter Jr. will receive a boost to their fantasy values.

Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Damian Lillard (groin) are active for Sunday’s game against the Thunder.

Both the Bucks’ stars are active and ready to go against the top team in the Western Conference. There’s been no indication that either player will be limited.

Bucks coach Doc Rivers said Sunday that Jericho Sims’ thumb injury is significant and could require surgery.

With Sims still listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Thunder, the question is whether or not he can do more damage to the injury through playing. While he has provided solid minutes off the bench, Sims has not done enough to impact fantasy basketball. If Sims has to miss time, Giannis Antetokounmpo may see some action at the center position when Brook Lopez is resting.

Jaxson Hayes accounted for 19 points (8-of-10 FGs, 3-of-7 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 29 minutes in Sunday’s win over the Suns.

In his return from a knee injury that sidelined him for four games, Hayes outplayed his Suns counterparts on Sunday afternoon. The Lakers center recorded a complete stat line, minus three-pointers, shooting 80 percent from the field. The foul shooting was poor, but that’s usually a category the few managers who have Hayes rostered will have to punt. The Lakers play four games during Week 20, starting with the Spurs on Monday.

Austin Reaves amassed 28 points (10-of-21 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, six assists, two steals, one block and four three-pointers in 39 minutes in Sunday’s win over the Suns.

With Luka Doncic back in the Lakers’ lineup, Reaves had more assistance than he did in Friday’s loss to the Nuggets. While there was an injury scare during the second half of Sunday’s game when Suns wing Ryan Dunn landed on Reaves, he still logged 39 minutes. Reaves has provided top-30 value in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break, remaining the dependable fantasy option he has been all season.

Dorian Finney-Smith accounted for 10 points (3-of-7 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), seven rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in 35 minutes in Sunday’s win over the Suns.

Finney-Smith returned to the Lakers’ lineup on Sunday after sitting out Friday’s loss to the Nuggets, bumping Jarred Vanderbilt (three rebounds in 10 minutes) to the bench. The veteran forward was solid in his 35 minutes, providing decent value in the rebound, assist and three-point categories. However, even with LeBron James (groin) sidelined, Finney-Smith is a deep-league player at best.

Luka Doncic finished Sunday’s win over the Suns with 33 points (8-of-20 FGs, 13-of-14 FTs), 11 rebounds, eight assists, two steals and four three-pointers in 39 minutes.

Facing the Suns for the first time since being traded to the Lakers, Doncic recorded an impressive stat line against his longtime nemesis. Since the All-Star break, he has been a top-10 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. With LeBron James (groin) still out, Doncic has been asked to do more offensively, and he’s answered the call. The Lakers play four games during Week 20, starting with the Spurs on Monday.

Dalton Knecht (back) is available to play against the Suns on Sunday.

Knecht was initially listed as probable but has been cleared to play. However, with Luka Doncic and Gabe Vincent both available to play, Knecht will likely return to playing a role off the bench, though he should still see plenty of minutes.

Jericho Sims (thumb) is questionable to play against the Thunder on Sunday.

Sims has filled out the backup center minutes recently, and he is the only frontcourt player that sees consistent minutes off the bench for Milwaukee. If he is sidelined, Giannis Antetokounmpo may see more time at center when Brook Lopez is off the floor.

Kyle Kuzma (illness) is questionable to play against the Thunder on Sunday.

Kuzma is dealing with an illness on the second night of a back-to-back for Milwaukee. Kevin Porter Jr. and Gary Trent Jr. are both possible candidates to replace Kuzma in a smaller starting lineup if he is sidelined.

Giannis Antetkounmpo (calf) and Damian Lillard (groin) are probable for Sunday’s game against the Thunder.

Gabe Vincent (knee) and Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) have been upgraded to available to play on Sunday against the Suns.

Both players were upgraded to probable earlier in the day after sitting out on Friday. Jordan Goodwin and Jarred Vanderbilt will lose out on minutes with DFS and Vincent back in the lineup.

Jaxson Hayes (knee) is available to play against the Suns on Sunday.

Hayes is back in the lineup after missing the Lakers’ last four games with a knee injury. His return should push Alex Len back to the bench, though he was ineffective as a starter. Christian Koloko will also lose out on some minutes.

Luka Doncic (ankle) is available to play against the Suns on Sunday.

Doncic was initially listed as probable after sitting out the second leg of the Lakers’ back-to-back on Friday. His return will likely push Dalton Knecht back to the bench, though he should continue to play a large reserve role.

Trey Jemison (illness) has been ruled out against the Suns on Sunday.

Jemison will miss a second-straight game with an illness, which will allow Alex Len and Christian Koloko to continue to split the minutes at center. Unfortunately, neither big has been a viable fantasy option despite an increased role.

Gabe Vincent (knee) and Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) are probable to play on Sunday against the Suns.

Both players missed Friday’s game against Denver, but after initially being listed as questionable to play against Phoenix, they have been upgraded to probable. Jordan Goodwin and Jarred Vanderbilt both took on larger roles on Friday but will likely lose out on minutes with Vincent and DFS expected to be back in the rotation.

Taurean Prince tallied 14 points (4-of-6 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, one assist, five steals, one block and two three-pointers in 35 minutes in Saturday’s win over the Pacers.

Prince provides modest offensive value on most nights, but his defense stood out on Saturday. He recorded a career-high five steals against the Pacers, and his points, three-pointers, and percentages bolstered the overall stat line. However, Prince remains ranked outside the top 150 in fantasy value since the All-Star break. Fantasy managers should avoid overreacting to Saturday’s performance.

Damian Lillard accumulated 25 points (7-of-15 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), 10 rebounds, eight assists and six three-pointers in 37 minutes in Saturday’s win over the Pacers.

This season, Lillard has been Milwaukee’s best fantasy player, providing top-10 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. He’s scored 22 points or more in seven of his last eight appearances, and he finished Saturday’s win two assists shy of a triple-double. And availability hasn’t been a concern, with Lillard missing three games since the calendar flipped to 2025. He’ll look to end Week 19 on a high note when the Bucks host the Thunder on Sunday.

Giannis Antetokounmpo finished Saturday’s win over the Pacers with 34 points (14-of-19 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), 10 rebounds, seven assists, one steal and three blocks in 35 minutes in Saturday’s win over the Pacers.

Antetokounmpo was outstanding on Saturday, as the Pacers had no answer for him defensively. The Bucks’ star forward has recorded three 30-point double-doubles since the All-Star break and has been a top 20 player in eight-cat formats. The improved foul shooting has been even better for fantasy managers, with Giannis making 68.5 percent of his attempts. Milwaukee hosts Oklahoma City in its final game of Week 19 on Sunday.

Tyler Smith (back) is available for Saturday’s game against the Pacers.

Smith is available after missing time with back spasms. However, his availability does not impact fantasy basketball, as he is not in the Bucks’ rotation.

Kevin Porter Jr. (ankle) is available for Saturday’s game against the Pacers.

Porter was initially probable for Saturday’s game, so he was expected to be cleared. He’ll remain with the second unit, which limits the Bucks guard’s fantasy ceiling. He is not a must-roster player.

Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Damian Lillard (groin) are available for Saturday’s game against the Pacers.

As expected, Antetokounmpo and Lillard are available after being considered probable on the initial injury report. They’ll assume their usual responsibilities as Milwaukee’s top two offensive options.

Tyler Smith (back) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Pacers.

Due to back spasms, Smith was not available for Thursday’s win over the Lakers. He isn’t in the rotation most nights when healthy, so his status does not impact fantasy basketball.

Kevin Porter Jr. (ankle) is probable for Saturday’s game against the Pacers.

After an excellent performance in Thursday’s win over the Lakers, Porter is probable for Saturday night with a sprained left ankle. The probable tag suggests he will be available, again providing solid production off the bench. At best, Porter remains a deep-league option, especially when Damian Lillard is healthy.

Giannis Antetkounmpo (calf) and Damian Lillard (groin) are probable for Saturday’s game against the Pacers.

Antetokounmpo and Lillard’s injuries have led to them consistently showing up on the Bucks’ injury report. However, neither has been forced to miss time recently. Look for Giannis and Dame to be in the starting lineup for a crucial game in the race for the four-seed in the Eastern Conference.
