With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Ousmane Dieng (illness) both ruled out, Rollins and Sims have moved into the starting lineup. Rollins is the more interesting fantasy option as he just had 16 points and 10 assists in 33 minutes off the bench in Thursday’s loss to the Heat.

Dieng was initially listed as questionable with an illness, but has since been ruled out for Saturday’s game against the Hawks. The 22-year-old small forward left Thursday’s loss to the Heat after only playing 14 minutes. AJ Green could make a spot start with Dieng out, though he’s not worth the risk in most fantasy leagues.

Porter was initially listed as questionable but has since been ruled in for Saturday’s game against the Hawks. The 25-year-old shooting guard returned after missing four games and had six points, seven rebounds and five assists in 28 minutes in Thursday’s loss to the Heat.

Antetokounmpo has been available for five of the last six Bucks games, but he missed the last back-to-back and is set to sit out Saturday’s game against the Hawks ahead of Sunday’s matchup with the Pacers. The 31-year-old power forward continues to manage a calf injury. The Bucks figure to rely heavily on Myles Turner and Bobby Portis with Antetokounmpo sidelined.

While Porter recently returned from right knee synovitis, Dieng is dealing with an illness. Ryan Rollins started for KPJ while he was sidelined and would return to the starting five. If Dieng can’t play, AJ Green could make a spot start.

Milwaukee closes the week with a back-to-back, making it possible that fantasy managers get one game out of Antetokounmpo instead of two. If he plays the Hawks on Saturday, Giannis likely won’t play the Pacers on Sunday. He sat out the second game of Milwaukee’s most recent back-to-back, a loss to the Magic on March 8.

Following a one-game absence with a back injury, Portis was back playing his typical role off the bench. Though it wasn’t enough for the Bucks to get the win, he has his highest-scoring performance since Feb. 24 and shot at least 50 percent from the floor for a ninth straight game. Portis is a solid reserve that ranks inside the top-100 in nine-category leagues over the past two weeks. However, his limited minutes will continue to cap his upside.

With Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) back in the lineup, Rollins returned to playing a role off the bench. However, he still played 33 minutes to KPJ’s 27 and was far more productive. Rollins has been one of the most improved players in the NBA this season, and as long as he is playing big minutes, he’ll continue to be a strong fantasy asset. However, he may be limited if he continues to come off the bench.

Antetokounmpo has been available for five of the Bucks’ last six games, but this was his best offensive performance. In fact, this was his highest-scoring performance since Jan. 11, which was over two months prior to this game. Giannis hasn’t been quite as productive as he typically is, most notably a lack of production on the glass. He’ll look to build on this scoring performance in Saturday’s game in Atlanta.

For the first time since the end of February, Bane has surpassed 20 points in consecutive games. One night removed from dropping 35 in a win over the Cavaliers, he had another good night shooting-wise, knocking down 50 percent of his attempts. All that Bane’s line lacked was a blocked shot, and he has been a top-10 player in fantasy basketball since the All-Star break. Orlando ends Week 20 with a game against the Heat on Saturday.

The Magic received double-doubles from two of their starting frontcourt players, Carter and Paolo Banchero (18/11/5). The former produced a complete stat line against the Wizards, with the four defensive contributions being the most in a game for Carter since a January 18 loss to the Grizzlies. Carter’s season-long fantasy value has been solid, but he remains a challenging player to trust fully in 12-team leagues.

Suggs finished Thursday’s overtime victory with a season-high point total, with this being his first game with 25 or more since mid-December.

One day removed from scoring a season-high 23 points in a win over the Cavaliers, da Silva was even more productive on Thursday. The second-year forward recorded a career-high point total as part of a loaded stat line. Rostered in 19 percent of Yahoo! leagues, da Silva is worth a look in some 12-team formats while the Magic await the returns of Franz Wagner and Anthony Black.

Isaac played one minute before exiting Thursday’s game with what has been diagnosed as a sprained left knee. His availability does not affect fantasy basketball, but it does free up minutes for Noah Penda and Goga Bitadze. According to the Magic, how much time Isaac misses will depend on his knee’s response to treatment.

March has been an excellent month for Banchero thus far. In six games, he’s scored 24 points or more in five. He’s averaged 26.7 points, 9.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.5 three-pointers per game while shooting 57 percent from the field and nearly 79 percent from the foul line. Even with the lackluster defensive production, Banchero has been close to a top-25 player in eight-cat formats since March 1, according to Basketball Monster.

Bane finished Wednesday’s victory with his 12th 30-point game of the season. He’s now second on the Magic’s list of 30-point games in a player’s debut season, trailing Tracy McGrady (26). Bane only attempted three three-pointers against the Cavaliers, doing a lot of his work in the paint and just outside of it. And he could be in for another big game on Thursday, as the Magic host the Wizards.

To say that Turner needed a night like Tuesday would be an understatement. Over his last five games entering the matchup with the Suns, the Bucks’ center averaged 6.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.8 steals, 1.2 blocks and 1.4 three-pointers in 20.6 minutes, shooting 31.4 percent from the field. Turner’s 22 points were the most in a game for him since January 27, when he dropped 31 on the 76ers. Simply put, nights like Tuesday have been few and far between for Turner, which is not what the Bucks expected when they signed him in free agency.

Before Tuesday, it had been just over a month since Kuzma last surpassed 20 points in a game, much less 30. He dropped his third 30-point game of the season on Tuesday, with the 33 points being a season-high. The numbers in the categories outside of points and three pointers were a bit limited, but Kuzma still managed to record a complete stat line.

Back in the lineup after sitting out Sunday’s loss to the Magic, Antetokounmpo logged 30 minutes against the Suns. This was the first time he’s played at least 30 minutes since returning from his second calf strain of the season, so the limit is clearly increasing. That’s good news for fantasy managers, as many are counting on Giannis to be his usual dominant self during the fantasy playoff weeks.

Still, the 24-year-old shooting guard’s scoring has been sporadic since he was acquired by the Bucks.
