Connaughton did not play in Sunday’s win over the Pelicans, but his absence did not impact fantasy basketball. Pete Nance played 14 minutes off the bench, but that had more to do with Giannis Antetokounmpo being out than Connaughton.

Giannis did not play in Sunday’s win over the Pelicans, prompting two changes to the Bucks’ starting lineup. Ryan Rollins was moved to the bench, with Gary Trent Jr. and Kevin Porter Jr. getting the start. If Giannis returns on Tuesday, Rollins should be back in the starting lineup, with Trent and Porter leading the bench unit.

Lopez has scored at least 17 points in four straight games, one of his most productive stretches of the season. In addition to his 20 points, the veteran center finished Sunday’s victory with a double-double and four blocked shots. Before Sunday, Lopez last recorded four or more blocks in a game on March 13. He’s provided third-round value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks and will have added value for Week 23, especially if Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) misses more time.

As with Gary Trent Jr., the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) meant Porter would move into the starting lineup on Sunday. He had an excellent night in New Orleans, shooting just below 50 percent from the field while not committing a turnover. Porter has not been the safest streaming option with Damian Lillard out of the lineup, but he did boast a higher ceiling. He’ll be worth a look in active leagues for Week 23, as the Bucks play four games.

With Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) out, Trent moved into the Bucks’ starting lineup on Sunday. The move gave him a welcomed boost, and Sunday was an excellent night to stream the guard. Not only were Trent’s 29 points a season-high, but this was also his first game with at least 20 since March 20. Damian Lillard’s absence has raised Trent’s ceiling, but he’s even better when Giannis is also out, since it has meant he’ll be in the starting lineup.

While Beal was solid from inside the arc on Sunday, shooting 8-of-14 from two, he struggled from three and at the foul line. The Suns guard missed all five of his three-point attempts and was 0-of-2 from the charity stripe, which was a lousy way to end Week 22 for Beal managers hoping for better percentages. The Suns trail 10th-place Dallas by two games in the loss column and have a game in hand heading into the regular season’s final week. However, if they’re to have any chance of closing the gap, they need more production from Beal.

Booker put on a show Sunday night, but his issue was that he didn’t have much help. While his 2-of-7 night from three was subpar by his lofty standards, the other Suns combined to shoot 2-of-27. Injuries to Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal have forced Booker to shoulder even more of the offensive workload, which has impacted his turnover count. Averaging 3.9 per game, Booker is ranked outside the top-100 in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks despite scoring 26.7 points. The Suns play four games during Week 23 and may need to win out to have a chance of sneaking into the play-in.

Connaughton has been downgraded to out for Sunday’s game, meaning the Bucks will have one less option off the bench. While his absence could result in Andre Jackson Jr. playing rotation minutes, there is little to gain from rostering the second-year wing out of UConn.

Antetokounmpo is unavailable for Sunday’s game after putting forth an outstanding effort in Saturday’s win over the Heat. Gary Trent Jr. and Kevin Porter Jr. are the players who benefit the most fantasy-wise, as they were both starters the last time Giannis missed a game. If Doc Rivers sticks with that approach, Ryan Rollins will lose value because he moves to the bench.

Initially questionable for Sunday’s game, Giannis has been downgraded to doubtful. If he’s unable to play, Gary Trent Jr. and Kevin Porter Jr. will have added importance.

Connaughton has had a solid run since late March and it appears like injuries will help him return to the rotation consistently in April. He’s provided some decent scoring off the bench but doesn’t turn heads with his other stats.

Antetokounmpo is banged up after his latest triple-double. However, the Bucks star has been relatively healthy as of late and has regularly powered through minor tweaks. Gary Trent is one of the players most likely to step into the starting lineup if Antetokounmpo can’t go.

Damian Lillard’s absence has not impacted Lopez’s fantasy value much, as he has been a fifth-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats. That aligns with his season-long value in nine-cat and is two rounds better than his eight-cat production. Lopez has scored at least 17 points in three straight games, and the good news for fantasy managers is that he has four games on his schedule for Week 23.

Porter stepped up for the Bucks in a big way Saturday night, finishing two assists shy of a triple-double. The 12 rebounds were a season-high for the guard, who shot 50 percent from the field and only committed one turnover. Rostered in 12 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Porter has provided 12th-round value in eight-cat formats since Damian Lillard was ruled out with a blood clot in his calf. With Milwaukee playing four games during Week 23, Porter is worth a look in deep leagues that will still be active.

Giannis finished Saturday’s overtime victory with his second triple-double in as many games and the ninth of the season. His fantasy value has increased substantially since Damian Lillard was ruled out with a blood clot in his calf. In the eight games he’s played since then, Giannis has been a top-15 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. During this run, Antetokounmpo has shot 62.6 percent from the field and 72.0 percent from the foul line. For managers whose leagues run through Week 23, the Bucks play four games, starting with the Timberwolves on Tuesday.

With Kevin Durant (ankle) unavailable and Bradley Beal ineffective in his first game back from a hamstring injury, Booker was left to shoulder most of the offensive workload on Friday. He was excellent, shooting over 50 percent from the field and only committing two turnovers in his 38 minutes on the floor. Turnovers have been one of Booker’s issues recently, as he’s averaged 3.8 per game over the past two weeks. Friday’s performance was much-needed, and he’ll look to end Week 22 on a high note when the Suns visit the Knicks on Sunday.

Ighodaro made his fourth start of the season and first since March 21, replacing the inconsistent Nick Richards. The rookie had a solid night in Beantown, hitting double figures in scoring for the first time since March 14. Richards played 14 minutes off the bench, finishing with four points, seven rebounds and one steal. While Ighodaro did not set the world on fire with his performance, he likely did enough to hold the job for Sunday’s game against the Knicks. If Mike Budenholzer agrees, he’ll be worth streaming for Sunday’s game against the Knicks.

After missing Tuesday’s loss to the Bucks due to an illness, O’Neale returned on Friday and filled the void in the starting lineup left by Kevin Durant (ankle). The veteran wing did much of what’s expected, providing points, rebounds and three-pointers. While those who streamed O’Neale would have liked to get a steal or two out of him, the overall line was solid. He should get another start on Sunday when the Suns visit the Knicks.

The good news for Phoenix was that Beal could play 30 minutes without issue in his first appearance since March 16. The bad news was that he looked incredibly rusty against the reigning champs, missing all seven field goal attempts. Beal gave fantasy managers decent value in the assist and steals categories, but overall, this was a rough night. He’ll look to rebound on Sunday when the Suns visit the Knicks.

The most notable change to the Suns’ lineup is Beal, who is back after missing time with a hamstring injury. His return pushes Collin Gillespie to the bench. Also in the lineup are O’Neale and Ighodaro, who replace Grayson Allen and Nick Richards. O’Neale is a safer streaming option than Ighodaro, but the rookie is worth a look when allowed to start.

Following a two-game absence with a shoulder injury, Green was back playing his typical reserve role in Thursday’s win. He logged 19 minutes and had one of his stronger performances since the All-Star break. This was a well-rounded game from the Bucks as Green was one of seven players to score in double figures. Green’s floor spacing will be important for Milwaukee in the postseason, especially if Damian Lillard isn’t able to return.

Kuzma hasn’t had a productive season, and a change of scenery didn’t do much to help that. However, he has had some solid performances recently and was able to contribute a full stat line in Thursday’s win. Kuzma has averaged 18.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, three assists, 1.3 blocks and 2.3 threes per game while shooting 50.9 percent from the floor over Milwaukee’s last four games. The blocks are unlikely to stick, but it has been a solid stretch for him. They’ll need him to keep it up with Damian Lillard sidelined.

What a night it was for Antetokounmpo. This was his sixth-straight game with at least 30 points, and he set a new career-high for assists while recording his eighth triple-double of the season. He did all that while only turning the ball over twice. But the most astonishing part? His success at the free throw line. He has shot 21-of-23 from the charity stripe over Milwaukee’s last two games, which is a significant improvement over his 61.6 percent free throw shooting this season. Antetokounmpo has stepped up with Damian Lillard sidelined indefinitely, and he has two more games this week to pour in stats for fantasy managers, though he likely won’t continue to shoot 90 percent from the foul line.

Beal had missed the last eight games for the Suns, while O’Neale had only missed one game.

Grayson Allen started in the Suns’ last game and had a season-high 23 points. Beal should start, with Gillespie, Allen and O’Neale all potentially filling the final open starting spot. The two that are left out should play a large role off the bench.

Beal has missed Phoenix’s last eight games, last seeing action March 16 against the Lakers. His return would coincide with Kevin Durant’s continued absence, with KD set to miss a few more games with a sprained ankle. Grayson Allen replaced Durant in the lineup for Tuesday’s loss to the Bucks and was productive, scoring 23 points. He and Collin Gillespie will see their playing time take a hit if Beal is cleared to play on Friday.

O’Neale was a late addition to the Suns’ injury report for Tuesday’s game in Milwaukee, which he was ultimately ruled out of. His return to practice is a step in the right direction, as the Suns are already without Kevin Durant (ankle).

Rollins has started six of Milwaukee’s last seven games, and the last few have been productive for him. Two games after he set a career-high with 20 points, Rollins set another career-high. Over the past two weeks, Rollins has averaged 12.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, four assists, 1.1 steals and 2.1 triples per game. That has him producing top-100 value in nine-cat leagues during that stretch, and with Damian Lillard out indefinitely, Rollins should be a quality option for the rest of the season.

Typically known for his blocks and three-pointers, Lopez was able to show off his skills as a passer on Tuesday. This was his third time this season finishing with six assists, which he has now done twice in Milwaukee’s last three games. It was also great to see Lopez bounce back after finishing with just five points, one rebound, one assist, one steal and one block against Atlanta on Sunday. Lopez has been a streaky producer all season, and this recent stretch was just another example.

Once again, Antetokounmpo dominated on offense for the shorthanded Bucks. This was his fifth-straight game with at least 30 points, which helped end a four-game slide for Milwaukee. His 11 dimes were also the most he has had in a game since January. However, what was most impressive from Giannis in this game was his success at the free throw line. It was entirely uncharacteristic for a player that has shot 61.1 percent from the charity stripe this season, and it isn’t something that managers should expect to continue moving forward.

This was Gillespie’s eighth-straight game in the starting lineup, and after scoring just three points on Sunday, he was more effective on Tuesday, though the result was the same. Phoenix dropped a fourth-straight game despite Gillespie having a better night. He did most of his work in the first half, scoring 11 points before the break. As long as Bradley Beal (hamstring) remains sidelined, Gillespie should remain in the starting unit, though his production has been inconsistent, making him a difficult player to rely on.

With both Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal unavailable, Booker shouldered the offensive workload for Phoenix in this game. This was his highest-scoring double-double since he went off for 47 points and 11 assists in a win over the Jazz in early February. With Durant still expected to miss a few more games and Beal’s status unknown, Booker will continue to provide a ridiculous amount of points and assists. Unfortunately, their next four games are against the Celtics, Knicks, Warriors and Thunder, which means no easy matchups for Booker to feast on. The Suns currently sit 1.5 games out of the Play-In Tournament.

Allen got the starting nod with Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal and Royce O’Neale all sidelined against Milwaukee. He took advantage of the extra minutes, especially in the second half. 17 of his 23 points and five of his six three-pointers came after halftime, though it wasn’t enough for Phoenix to get the win. Beal has been out for a couple weeks, and Durant is set to miss a few more games, so Allen could certainly remain in the starting unit and play like he did last season. His 23 points matched his season-high.

Durant got his points on Wednesday and has scored 30 points or more in three straight games. However, he did not offer much else in the loss to the Celtics, which was terrible news for category league managers.

With the Suns needing to go on a run to earn a play-in spot, they will lean on Durant and Devin Booker to lead the way.
