Rollins provided solid value in the rebound and assist categories, continuing to be a solid option for category league managers. The Bucks’ guard continues to hover around the top-50, providing slightly greater value in eight-cat leagues than nine-cat. When Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) returns is unknown, but Rollins’ fantasy value should be fine regardless of what happens with the former league MVP.

Thomas’ point output was solid, but most of his damage was done at the foul line. The Bucks guard made eight of his ten free throws, but he shot just 2-of-7 from inside the arc. Thomas’ three assists were the most in a game for him since joining the Bucks; he clearly understands his strengths, it’s just a matter of how accurately Cam shoots the basketball.

Portis shot the ball reasonably well on Sunday, but that was the lone positive for him and the Bucks. Milwaukee was on the wrong end of a 27-0 run that spanned the third and fourth quarters, going from leading by as much as 16 to getting run out of the United Center. Portis has a higher fantasy ceiling despite coming off the bench due to Giannis Antetokounmpo’s calf strain. The Bucks open a four-game Week 19 on Monday against the Celtics.

A late addition to the Bucks’ injury report, Thanasis’s availability does not affect fantasy basketball. He is not a consistent rotation player, so there’s no reason to roster him in fantasy leagues.

After coming off the bench in Wednesday’s loss to the Spurs, Poeltl was back in the starting lineup on Saturday due to Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) not being available. And he recorded his first double-double since November 11 and the third of the season. Poeltl is still rostered in 78 percent of Yahoo! leagues, so there weren’t a lot of managers who gave up on him. That patience was rewarded on Saturday, but it’s fair to question whether this will be the norm for Poeltl the rest of the season.

Since the All-Star break, Barrett has shot 39.1 percent from the field, so a night like Saturday was needed. The Raptors’ wing had an efficient night on offense, making over 50 percent of his attempts and recording just one turnover in 33 minutes. Due to the limited production outside of points and rebounds, poor shooting affects Barrett’s fantasy value more than it would if he were a productive option across the board in category leagues. He’ll look to build on Saturday’s effort when the Raptors host the Knicks on Tuesday.

Ingram has scored at least 20 points in four of his last five appearances, as he continues to provide solid fantasy value in his first season with the Raptors. Over the past month, his production is just outside the top-50 in category leagues. Add in the fact that Ingram has avoided an extended absence due to injury, and those who selected him in drafts must be pleased with the outcome.

A game that, on paper, looked like it should be a blowout proved to be competitive throughout. And that was good news for those who have Quickley rostered, as he played 37 of a possible 48 minutes. After failing to record an assist in a game for the first time this season in Wednesday’s loss to the Spurs, the Raptors’ guard racked up 11 on Saturday. Quickley’s double-double was his seventh of the season and first since January 20, when he put up 40 points and 10 rebounds in a win over the Warriors. Toronto plays three games in Week 19, starting with the Knicks on Tuesday.

The good news for fantasy managers is that Rollins made more than half of his shot attempts. However, he recorded more turnovers (five) than assists (four), with backcourt partner Kevin Porter Jr. (11/6/10/1/1 with one three-pointer) being far more efficient as a playmaker. However, even with Friday’s performance, Rollins has been an excellent fantasy option over the past month as the Bucks continue to play without Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Kuzma has scored at least 17 points in three consecutive games, with Friday’s being the first in which he shot over 50 percent from the field. While he remains an uninspiring option for managers in category leagues, Kuzma is worth a look in points leagues as long as the Bucks are without Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Bucks play their final game of Week 18 on Sunday against the Bulls, who have lost 11 straight. That could be a good matchup for Kuzma.

Turner had a solid night shooting the basketball, making four of his seven three-point attempts, but most of his damage was done during the first half. The Bucks’ center scored 18 of his 19 points before halftime, and he offered minimal value outside of points and three-pointers. While Turner played more minutes than backup Jericho Sims (2/4/1 in 23 minutes) on Friday, his lackluster production remains a concern for fantasy managers.

Bucks head coach Doc Rivers had some interesting comments before Wednesday’s game, saying that Turner was not under a minutes restriction in his first games back from a calf strain. He played 24 minutes against the shorthanded Cavaliers, while Jericho Sims (11 points, 11 rebounds and two assists) played 29 off the bench. Rebounding may have had more to do with the minutes split than Turner’s recent calf strain, as Sims offers more production in that area. There’s no need to add Sims yet, and those who have Turner rostered are likely stuck at this point in the season. But this is a situation that merits watching.

Milwaukee’s starting backcourt of Rollins and Kevin Porter Jr. was excellent in the team’s home wins over Miami and Cleveland to begin Week 18. Rollins’ nine assists on Wednesday were the most in a game for him since February 3, when he recorded ten in a win over the Bulls. And over the past month, Rollins has provided second-round per-game value in eight-cat formats. He should be rostered in more than 65 percent of Yahoo! leagues, especially with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) still out.

After dropping 32 points and a robust stat line in Tuesday’s win over the Heat, Porter produced another excellent performance in Wednesday’s win over Cleveland. Over the past month, the Bucks’ guard has been a top-5 player in eight-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. Rostered in 77 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Porter should be picked up in any shallow league where he remains available.

Barnes recorded a complete stat line on Wednesday despite suffering a right quad contusion during Toronto’s loss to the Thunder the night prior. The good news for him and those who have Barnes rostered is that the Raptors will have a little more time off, as they don’t play again until Saturday against the Wizards. And that should be a big night for him, given the Wizards’ ongoing rebuild.

Quickley provided points, rebounds and three-pointers on solid percentages, but nothing else. Wednesday’s game was the first in which the Raptors’ guard failed to record an assist, and his final line did not have any steals, either. However, even with his lean stat line against the Spurs, Quickley has still been a top-75 player over the past two weeks, according to Basketball Monster. He’ll look to do a bit more on Saturday when the Raptors visit the Wizards.

Brown had a chance to send Wednesday’s game into overtime, but his three-point attempt from the left corner in the final seconds drifted left and hit the side of the backboard. This was a disappointing end to Ingram’s night, and he’s scored at least 20 points in three of his last four appearances. While his fantasy value has slipped recently, with Ingram being an eighth-round player over the past two weeks, his season-long value remains solid. The Raptors visit the Wizards on Saturday in what should be a good matchup for Ingram.

Murray-Boyles aggravated his left thumb injury during the third quarter of Wednesday’s game and will not return.

After scoring just nine points as a starter on Sunday, Walter returned to the bench for this game. He was able to match his season high for three-pointers, and he could be in line for more success against the Spurs on Wednesday.

Barnes injured his right quad during the fourth quarter of this game, which could lead to him missing Wednesday’s game against the Spurs. However, he was productive in his return from a one-game absence due to personal reasons. Barnes’ well-rounded production, specifically on the defensive end, has allowed him to be a fantasy superstar this year, but he actually set a new season high for “stocks” in a game in this one. Ja’Kobe Walter started when Barnes was out on Sunday and could return to the role if Barnes is sidelined against San Antonio.

Portis entered Tuesday’s game in a bit of a slump from beyond the arc, shooting 4-of-13 over his prior four games. He was a lot better against the Heat, shooting 5-of-10 on the night and contributing 21 points off the bench. Fantasy managers would have hoped to get more from Portis in the rebounding category, but he’s usually been solid in that area. The Bucks will need a similar performance from him on Wednesday when they host the surging Cavaliers.

Kuzma got off to a good start on Tuesday, shooting 4-of-7 from the field. Unfortunately for those who have him rostered, the Bucks’ forward cooled off after halftime, and there was also a trip to the locker room with an unspecified injury. Kuzma played 25 minutes, with Bobby Portis scoring 21 points and Ousmane Dieng (11/6/1/2 with three three-pointers) having a good night off the bench. Kuzma’s fantasy value hasn’t been great, but his status as a starter makes him a player worth holding onto in deep leagues.

Rollins had an excellent fourth quarter, shooting 3-of-4 from the field and recording three assists as the Bucks outscored Miami by a 39-24 margin. The partnership between him and Kevin Porter Jr. has been excellent for fantasy managers since the latter returned to the lineup on February 4. Since that date, Rollins has been a top-25 player in eight-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. Rollins is rostered in 64 percent of Yahoo! leagues, which is too low, especially with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) still out.

After recording an efficient double-double in Sunday’s loss to the Raptors, Porter produced another excellent stat line on Tuesday. He matched his season-high with 32 points, having recorded his last 30-point game in a December 6 loss to the Pistons. Add in the rebounds, assists and “stocks,” with KPJ also producing excellent percentages, and this was an excellent night to have him rostered.

Turner was back in the Bucks’ lineup after a two-game absence due to a strained calf. While no official number was provided beforehand, Turner played 25 minutes against the Raptors. He shot the ball well, but the overall stat line was a bit lean. Jericho Sims (four points, seven rebounds, two assists and one block) moved to the bench, logging 25 minutes. He isn’t a player who should be held onto in most leagues, but Sims will have opportunities as long as Turner’s playing time is restricted.

Rollins didn’t have the best game shooting the basketball, but he did record a complete stat line on Sunday. The Bucks guard continues to provide excellent fantasy value, threatening the top-50 in nine-cat formats while cracking that threshold in eight-cat.

One would assume that Poeltl’s opportunities will increase eventually, but the Raptors aren’t going to rush the process.

He finished with at least 25 points, as did the other two Bucks guards, and he also led the team in assists.
