Portis didn’t make the initial injury report, but now there is a chance he is held out against Detroit. His potential absence would likely result in his minutes being divided among Myles Turner, Kyle Kuzma and Jericho Sims, which doesn’t open the door for any streaming options.

Walker has played a surprisingly large role for a player on a two-way contract, but that hasn’t led to much production in the box score. However, that didn’t hold true in this game, as he was able to record a double-double for the first time this season. Walker holds some value in dynasty formats, but he shouldn’t be relied on in redraft leagues, barring multiple injuries to forward currently in front of him on the depth chart.

Drummond returned to the starting lineup with Joel Embiid (knee) sidelined, and he immediately returned to dominating the glass. He needed just 17 minutes to record his eighth double-double of the year. Drummond’s value is tied to Embiid’s availability, and with a back-to-back coming up on Thursday and Friday, Drummond should get at least one more start this week. Unfortunately, his value takes a big hit when Embiid plays.

Maxey didn’t need long to dominate the lowly Wizards. His 29 minutes were the fewest he has played in a game this season, and he was able to lead both teams in scoring to help the 76ers rebound after a double-overtime loss on Sunday. Maxey also matched his season high for steals. There were questions in the past about how Joel Embiid or Paul George would impact Maxey, but it has become clear this year that this is now his team.

George will be available to play in a third straight game despite the initial questionable tag. He played a season-high 28 minutes on Sunday and should be in for a similar workload in this game. Quentin Grimes (calf) is out, so George could see a couple extra minutes.

Drummond is good to go for Tuesday’s game, but he was limited to six minutes off the bench in Sunday’s double-overtime loss to the Hawks. Adem Bona, who played 22 minutes on Sunday, will figure prominently in the rotation despite coming off the bench. Joining Drummond in the starting lineup are Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Paul George and Dominick Barlow.

Grimes is unavailable due to a sore right calf. With the reserve guard having played 47 minutes in Sunday’s double-overtime loss to the Hawks, there will be a lot of minutes available. Justin Edwards’ playing time should receive a boost, but he has not been consistently productive enough to impact fantasy basketball.

Harris was not available for Monday’s loss to the Wizards, resulting in a few more minutes for fellow reserve Gary Trent Jr. While Trent’s playing 31 minutes was encouraging, his production has not been consistent enough to make him a must-roster player in most fantasy leagues.

Due to left adductor strain injury management, Antetokounmpo is back on the Bucks’ injury report. The good news is that he’s considered probable, so he’s likely to play. If not, Kyle Kuzma will likely return to the starting lineup. In that spot, Kuzma would be worth rostering, even with the efficiency concerns.

KPJ dropped 30 points in Sunday’s loss to Washington, but he left midway through the fourth quarter with lower back spasms. The back issue may keep him sidelined, and if he is unavailable, Ryan Rollins would presumably soak up additional minutes.

Antetokounmpo was still able to pour in the points, but after scoring 29 points in 19 minutes in Milwaukee’s last game, this one was underwhelming. He has scored at least 25 points in all three games since he returned from a four-game absence with a groin injury, and the only game this year in which he failed to score 20 points was the game that he exited after scoring 14 points in 13 minutes. Giannis will continue to dominate usage for Milwaukee, though up next is a tough matchup with Detroit.

KPJ made his return to the lineup on Saturday and was solid in that game after missing 19 games with a knee injury. However, he was a stud in this game before exiting with 6:37 left in the fourth due to lower back spasms. This shouldn’t be a lengthy absence for KPJ, but there is a chance he misses Wednesday’s game against the Pistons. Still, this was a phenomenal performance for him, and he has a chance to have a special season, as long as he remains healthy.

Due to a sore right calf, Grimes is a late addition to the 76ers’ injury report for Tuesday. With Paul George (knee, back) questionable, this could be a spot where Grimes starts if he’s able to play. If both players sit, Justin Edwards and Jared McCain will have added importance, with the latter being the player worth streaming in 12-team leagues.

The veteran guard has been a consistent part of the Bucks’ rotation off the bench, though he’s currently averaging the fewest points and minutes per game of his career. In his absence, Amir Coffey could be the recipient of a boost in minutes, while Gary Trent Jr. may see even more opportunities than usual.

With VJ Edgecombe (calf) back after a three-game absence, Grimes returned to playing a reserve role. However, Grimes started the second half in place of Edgecombe and ended up having an excellent night. Edgecombe only played 20 minutes in his return, but that will likely change as he plays more games. Grimes enjoyed an excellent night and will continue to play the sixth man role, but nights like this won’t come often.

Maxey’s late-game heroics helped force the first overtime, but he also faltered late, which resulted in a second overtime. He hit a three-pointer off an offensive rebound late in the fourth quarter to tie the game, but with a chance to seal the win in overtime, he missed two free throws. Still, it was an excellent performance for Maxey, which led to him exceeding 40 points for the fourth time this season. Even with Joel Embiid back and Paul George healthy, this is clearly Tyrese Maxey’s team.

Embiid suited up for the first time after a nine-game absence and was able to log 30 minutes. That was a new season high for him, and while he wasn’t great, he was at least back out on the floor, which is a step in the right direction. He was left on the bench for the second overtime, so he likely hit his minutes restriction. The 76ers have a four-game week upcoming, which includes a back-to-back, so Embiid should be able to suit up three times.

Drummond will be able to suit up despite suffering a knee contusion on Friday. However, with Joel Embiid back and starting, Drummond will be pushed back to the bench. Embiid likely won’t play significant minutes, so Drummond should still play a large role.

Embiid was upgraded to questionable earlier in the day and has now officially been cleared to return after a none-game absence. He’ll immediately start, so even if Andre Drummond (knee) plays, he’ll be limited to a reserve role. Edgecombe’s return will push Quentin Grimes to the bench.

Embiid was previously listed as out, so this change in status means he’s got a chance to return following a nine-game absence. If he’s cleared to take the court, Embiid will surely see limited playing time, and fantasy managers should confidently stream Adem Bona regardless of Embiid’s status.

Rollins led the Bucks with 31 minutes played, but he wasn’t as productive as he has been in recent weeks. The return of Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) may have impacted Rollins’ production. This game isn’t the best data point due to the lopsided score, but this is a situation worth monitoring over the next few weeks. Rollins is clearly enjoying a breakout season and is going to be a productive player for a long time. But KPJ could impact Rollins’ usage in the short term. Hopefully that trend won’t continue, and he’ll get back on track on Monday against the Wizards.

Antetokounmpo only played 19 minutes due to the lopsided score, but that was more than enough time for him to pour in the points. Typically, Giannis will be even more dominant than he was in this game, but he was still able to make a huge impact in limited action. Up next is another matchup with a team at the bottom of the standings, with a trip to Washington on Monday. Hopefully that game will be closer so Giannis can surpass 20 minutes.

KPJ injured his knee in the season opener and has been sidelined since. In his first game back, he immediately returned to the starting lineup. He logged 25 minutes, but that may not have been because of a minutes restriction since the game was lopsided until garbage time. KPJ is available in 64 percent of Yahoo! leagues, but if his first game back is any indicator, he is worth adding off the waiver wire.

Porter is back, with Saturday’s game being his first since late October. He’ll start with Gary Trent Jr. being bumped to the bench. That’s good news for those who have Ryan Rollins, especially if this is the lineup that Doc Rivers decides to stick with moving forward. Giannis is also good to go after logging 28 minutes in his first game back from a strained groin on Friday. Look for him to be under a similar minutes limit against the Nets.

Sidelined since late October, Porter is ready to make his return to the court. While the Bucks have not divulged an official minutes limit, fantasy managers should not expect to see Porter take on a full workload in his first game back. Something to watch as KPJ shakes off the rust is how his return impacts Ryan Rollins’ playing time. Rollins has been excellent so far, but Porter’s return gives the Bucks another playmaker to call on.

Porter has been out since late October after undergoing a minor procedure on his right knee.

Kuzma’s return to the bench did not affect his production negatively on Friday. He made his first seven attempts from the field, and the 20 points were the most he’s scored in a game since November 14 (season-high 29 vs. Charlotte). Fantasy managers who were eager to drop Kuzma will want to hold off on that, especially with the Bucks hosting the Nets on Saturday. If Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin) gets the night off, Kuzma will be back with the starters in what should be an advantageous matchup for him.

While Green’s production has not made him much more than a specialist within fantasy basketball, he continues to hold down his place within the Bucks’ starting lineup. He hit six more three-pointers on Friday, establishing a new season-high. Green finished a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line, and he has provided top-100 value over the past week. Still, he remains a player who’s only worth a look from managers seeking three-point production.

Antetokounmpo was back in the lineup after a four-game absence. While Bucks head coach Doc Rivers said before the game that the former MVP would be under a minutes restriction, he did not divulge a specific number. Giannis played 28 minutes and looked sharp when on the floor. Kyle Kuzma returned to the bench but was still productive, scoring 20 points. With Milwaukee facing the Nets on Saturday, they may give Giannis the night off for injury management reasons.

McCain has looked more comfortable by the game, with Friday’s performance being his best of the season. The second-year guard has scored at least 15 points in three straight games, with Friday’s being his first 20-point outing.

Back in the 76ers’ rotation after missing five games with a sprained ankle, Bona took on a role that was more prominent than any expected before Friday’s game. Andre Drummond exited during the first half with a right leg injury, and while the severity is unknown, he required a wheelchair to reach the locker room. Bona started the second half and did not miss a shot in his 22 minutes. What his role will be for Sunday’s game against the Hawks depends on the availability of Drummond and Joel Embiid.
