Clingan will be back after a one-game absence, which will push Kris Murray to the bench. Robert Williams, who has played well recently, may lose out on a few minutes with Clingan back, but he had been productive in limited minutes anyway. Clingan’s return shouldn’t negatively impact Williams by much.

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.

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 Clingan unavailable, the Trail Blazers began Sunday’s loss to the Thunder with a smaller lineup. Kris Murray joined the starters and played 35 minutes, with Robert Williams getting 19 minutes off the bench. If Toronto’s Jakob Poeltl is available for Tuesday’s matchup, that could be a spot where Williams receives the starting nod if Clingan can’t play. However, that isn’t guaranteed, and the Time Lord’s minutes are still being restricted due to his injury history.

With Donovan Clingan sidelined with an illness, Avdija practically filled in as the starting center. He fell one rebound shy of matching his career high for rebounds, but he was still able to record the fourth triple-double of his career. Avdija is enjoying a phenomenal breakout season and will continue to be an elite option in fantasy basketball, even if the lack of defensive stats and subpar shooting percentages have slightly limited him.

Love is still on a two-way contract for Portland, but he has been a source of offense off the bench in recent weeks. He has scored in double figures in four of his last seven appearances, though it hasn’t come efficiently in recent games. Love has done enough to be worth keeping an eye on in dynasty leagues, but he has a ways to go before he can be considered a standard league option.

Murray got the starting nod with Donovan Clingan (illness) sidelined for this game. It was a smaller starting unit for Portland, and Murray wasn’t able to fill the void on the glass. However, he was able to score in double figures for just the third time this season. This was Murray’s second start of the season, and it was far more productive than the first. He won’t get the chance to start often, but he does have enough upside to make an impact in deeper league when he does.

With Donovan Clingan (illness) sidelined, Portland won’t turn to a traditional center to fill the void. That could work better against the Thunder, who are without Isaiah Hartenstein. Murray should see a significant boost in value and minutes for this game.

Robert Williams has played well off the bench this season, but Clingan’s injury frees up a starting spot for Time Lord. Fantasy managers should stream Williams on Sunday based on his increased opportunity. He’s blocked 11 shots in his last three games and figures to be a good source of them whenever he gets real playing time.

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.

Clingan has yet to miss a game this season, and his absence would leave a significant hole in the middle of the Trail Blazers’ lineup. Robert Williams III would be the replacement, and the Time Lord would have a decent fantasy ceiling. However, injuries have been an issue, so he may not take on a starter’s workload. Yang Hansen is also available, and he would slide into the backup role.

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.

Thybulle has able to do some shooting and ball handling work, but it appears that he isn’t that close to a return. He was set to be re-evaluated in four-to-six weeks after injuring his thumb in the season opener, but even when he returns, he won’t make a significant impact on the rotation.

Holiday has not appeared in a game since November 14. While he was due for a re-evaluation early next week, interim head coach Thiago Splitter said on Saturday that the veteran guard is still limited to non-contact work.

Porter has been out since late October after undergoing a minor procedure on his right knee. The 25-year-old is listed as questionable, which at least gives him a chance of suiting up against the Nets on Saturday. Ryan Rollins has been excellent in Porter’s absence and should hold on to his starting job even when Porter returns.

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.

Sharpe returned from a four-game absence, came off the bench and finished as Portland’s third-leading scorer on Wednesday. He failed to make an impact from beyond the arc but was efficient and productive on his two-point attempts. The fourth-year guard pulled down a handful of boards in his 22 minutes, as well, but didn’t have much impact elsewhere. Wednesday’s outing marked his lowest of the season from a minutes and scoring standpoint. It’ll be worth monitoring how Sharpe is utilized going forward — he was averaging 30 points in the five games prior to returning on Wednesday.

On the heels of a 35-point outing against the Bucks, Grant failed to recapture his shooting touch on Wednesday. Against the Spurs, he didn’t make a three-pointer and shot below 30 percent from the field on nearly 20 shot attempts. Still, he managed to finish as the team’s second-leading scorer on a night in which only one Trail Blazer scored more than 13 points. Portland will need Grant to be productive going forward, given the team’s injuries. He’ll have a chance to bounce back against the Thunder on Sunday.

Avdija set a new season-high in scoring on Wednesday, using the three-point shot and accurate shooting inside the arc to achieve it. Six missed free throws prevented the versatile forward from reaching the 40-point mark, and his six turnovers also likely cost him a few shot attempts. However, he also tallied a team-high in assists against the Spurs before the final buzzer sounded. Avidja has been Portland’s most productive player thus far, which shouldn’t change as the season progresses.

The sharpshooting guard was productive from beyond the arc, as usual, against Miami. However, his playmaking was the bigger story on Wednesday. Green posted a season-high in assists and came within two assists of his first double-double of the season. There aren’t many reasons to believe Green can sustain this level of playmaking over the long term. He likely isn’t worth a roster spot in fantasy leagues.

Turner had one of his more productive games in quite some time on Wednesday. Accurate shooting inside the arc helped the veteran center set a new season-high in points, and also log his third 20-point outing of the season. Poor shooting from beyond the arc and a few misses from the charity stripe prevented him from producing more. Still, Turner did his part and nearly notched a double-double in the loss.

Rollins bounced back from an inefficient 10-point, 4-of-14 shooting performance against the Trail Blazers. He made four triples alone against the Heat and tied a season-high in rebounds along the way.

Rollins had to deal with Portland’s Toumani Camara for most of Monday’s game, and the impact on his output was unsurprisingly negative. Monday’s game was just the fourth this season in which the fourth-year guard scored 10 points or less, so there isn’t too much to be worried about. A late-round option in drafts before the season began, Rollins has been a fourth-round player in nine-cat formats, representing one of the best values in fantasy basketball. He’ll look to bounce back when the Bucks face the Heat on Wednesday.

In the three games since Milwaukee lost Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin) during a November 17 loss to the Cavaliers, Portis has scored 19, 18 and 22 points. After starting the first two games, Portis was back on the bench Monday night, but that didn’t prevent him from recording his first 20-point game of the season. As long as Portis continues to hit the mid-to-high 20s in minutes, he’s worth trusting while the Bucks await Giannis’ return, especially with the Bucks having three more games in Week 6.

Turner recorded his second double-double in three games on Monday, but the production since Milwaukee lost Giannis Antetokounmpo to a strained groin has been underwhelming. Over the last three games, the Bucks’ center has averaged 12.3 points on 39.4 percent shooting from the field. The good news is that the rebounds, blocks and three-pointers have been there, but a more accurate Turner would be more valuable to fantasy managers.

Having tweaked his left ankle during Friday’s win over the Warriors, Clingan’s availability for both games of Portland’s ensuing back-to-back was good news for the Trail Blazers and fantasy managers. After providing minimal value in Sunday’s loss to the Thunder, the second-year center recorded his fifth double-double of the season in Milwaukee. By comparison, Clingan had eight double-doubles his entire rookie season. While it’s still early, the question isn’t whether he can provide top-100 value, but rather if Clingan can maintain top-50 value in nine-cat formats.

In addition to pestering Milwaukee’s Ryan Rollins defensively for most of the night, Camara finished Monday’s victory with a complete stat line. The third-year forward has been close to a top-100 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. With Camara being a limited scorer, turnovers have a greater impact on his value than some other 3-and-D wings. He’s averaged 2.8 turnovers per game during this stretch, resulting in his nine-cat value being three rounds lower than his eight-cat value.

After recording one assist in Sunday’s blowout loss to the Thunder, Avdija was considerably better on Monday. In addition to the increased assists, he has scored at least 22 points in three of his last four games. Since the Trail Blazers lost Jrue Holiday to a calf injury, Avdija has averaged 23.2 points and 7.0 assists per game. While turnovers can be an issue on occasion, Deni is well-positioned to provide top-50 value at a minimum while Portland awaits Holiday’s return.

Grant recorded his second 30-point game of the season, dropping a season-high 35 on the Bucks. He did much of his work at the foul line, with 16 points from the charity stripe, the most for him since February 8, 2024, against the Pistons (18). Grant doesn’t offer much as a rebounder, but the increased scoring is why he’s a top-100 player in nine-cat formats. His average of 19.5 points per game is just over five points higher than his 2024-24 number (14.4).

While the Trail Blazers navigate their schedule without multiple rotation players, Avdija continues to flourish. He finished Friday’s victory with his fifth double-double of the season, and the 13 assists were a career-high. With Jrue Holiday (calf) set to be re-evaluated in one to two weeks, and Scoot Henderson (hamstring) in two to four, it will be Avdija running the show for the Trail Blazers. That raises his fantasy ceiling, which was already high, considerably.

Camara notched his first 20-point game of the season on Friday and was one of four Trail Blazers to score at least that many points. Interestingly, he did not provide any defensive stats against the Warriors, making it the third time this season he’s completed a game without a steal or a blocked shot. While he’s still rostered in 42 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Camara remains ranked well outside the top-100 in eight- and nine-cat formats. That said, holding onto him with Jrue Holiday and Scoot Henderson out for multiple weeks isn’t a bad idea.
