Trent has missed Milwaukee’s last two games but could be back to take on Charlotte. Ryan Rollins returned to the starting lineup in the Bucks’ last game, but Trent could reclaim the role if he returns. Rollins will play a larger role and be more productive than Trent regardless.

Antetokounmpo didn’t show any signs of rust in his first game action since December 3 after an eight-game absence due to a right calf strain. He dropped 15 points on 7-of-9 shooting in the first half and nearly reached the lofty 30-point plateau in just 24 minutes. He also uncorked a windmill dunk in the final seconds with the game in hand that drew a strong reaction from the Bulls and led to a benches-clearing incident. It seems likely he’ll have a bit of a minutes restriction for at least a couple additional games but it’s a welcome development for fantasy managers to get him back in the lineup. The Bucks have four games on tap next week including a pair against the Hornets in addition to the Wizards and Kings.

Rollins connected for five three-pointers, his highest single-game total since November 17. The 23-year-old guard delivered a solid stat sheet stuffing effort in this one and has contributed top-50 overall value for fantasy purposes this season, averaging 17.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.4 blocks through 32 games.

Coming off his sixth 40-point performance of the season, Edwards was one of the few bright spots in a relatively forgettable performance for Minnesota. The 24-year-old superstar is averaging a whopping 33.5 points over his last four games. The Timberwolves open a four-game week on Monday against the Bulls before facing the Hawks, Heat and Wizards on the road.

Giannis is back in the Bucks’ lineup after missing more than three weeks with a strained calf. His return prompts two changes to the starting lineup. Rollins has returned to the starting five to provide more shooting/playmaking off of Giannis, while Bobby Portis and Kyle Kuzma head to the bench.

Porter Jr. had several highs and lows throughout Friday’s loss. He finished as the Bucks’ second leading scorer, but shot poorly overall and made only one of his seven three-point attempts. He also tied a team-high in assists, although his seven turnovers led to a poor assist-to-turnover ratio and cost his team several scoring opportunities. His eight turnovers were impactful and helped add to his balanced stat line. However, he left a lot of meat on the bone and will look to be more consistent on Saturday against the Bulls.

Portis utilized efficient shooting and tied a season-high in rebounds before earning his fourth double-double in the past six games. He was one of five Milwaukee players to score at least 15 points, and one of three Bucks to collect multiple steals. The veteran forward has now stepped into a starting role under head coach Doc Rivers, and with the role and minutes where they are currently, fantasy managers should expect Portis to remain productive moving forward.

Green did on Friday what he does best, which is light it up from beyond the arc. He broke out of a four-game shooting slump to tie a season-high in points and three-pointers, while scoring in double figures for the first time since December 3 against the Pistons. Green added a couple of steals but didn’t contribute in many other areas. Still, he finished with one of his most productive performances in quite some time.

Despite Saturday’s game not being part of a back-to-back, Conley is on the injury report for rest reasons.

Edwards tweaked his right shoulder during Thursday’s loss to the Nuggets but remained in the game. His availability may affect Mike Conley’s (rest), who is also questionable.

Though Gobert finished one point shy of a double-double, he was still able to have a productive fantasy night in what has been a strong season for him. Of course, Nikola Jokic’s monster night will take away from what Gobert did, but it was solid for fantasy managers before he fouled out in overtime. The former Defensive Player of the Year recorded double-digit rebounds for a seventh straight game and set a new season high for blocks.

Randle has cooled off after an excellent start to the year, but he’s certainly still capable of big scoring nights, as he proved in this game. This was his sixth 30-point game of the season, though it was his first since Nov. 19, and the other four came during Minnesota’s first eight games of the season. Randle had scored 25 points in the game before this, so he’ll look to carry this momentum into a matchup with the Nets on Saturday.

Edwards started this game off hot and ended the first quarter with 14 points. He cooled off after that until the fourth quarter. He scored 13 points over the final seven minutes, including a contested three-pointer from the corner to tie the game and force overtime. He helped Minnesota score the first nine points of overtime, but the game shifted Denver’s way after that. Edwards scored 11 points in the extra frame prior to an ejection that came after he disagreed with a pivotal call. Edwards matched his season high for scoring in this game it what will go down as a disappointing loss for the Wolves.

Shannon was ruled out a few minutes into the fourth quarter, so he likely wouldn’t have seen the floor for the remainder of the game regardless. If he misses time beyond the end of this game, Bones Hyland and Jaylen Clark should take on a few extra minutes.

While the decision to move Rollins to a reserve role is still questionable, it hasn’t slowed down his production. Since moving to the bench three games ago, he has averaged 18.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.3 triples per game. Rollins has been one of the most improved players in the NBA this season and remains a standard-league option, even as a reserve.

KPJ’s stellar season continued in this game. He scored exactly 24 points for a second straight game, but this time it was enough for Milwaukee to get a victory. He has only played 11 games this season, but he ranks in the top 10 in per-game value in nine-cat leagues. KPJ has thrived with Giannis Antetokounmpo sidelined, though it hasn’t been enough to keep Milwaukee afloat consistently. Still, it was enough in this game, and he’ll look to stay hot in Memphis on Friday.

Gobert continued his dominance on the glass, extending his streak of games with at least 12 rebounds to six. Add in the defensive stats and percentages, and this was an excellent night for the veteran center. Over the last two weeks, Gobert has been close to a top-50 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. Continuing on that path would go a long way toward ensuring that Gobert’s season-long fantasy value aligns with his Yahoo! ADP (68).

While this wasn’t the first time that Randle has played against the Knicks since being traded before the start of last season, this was the first game in which he took over. The Timberwolves forward was outstanding in the fourth quarter, scoring 17 points on 6-of-8 shooting from the field. Randle didn’t attempt a three-pointer in the period, instead attacking the paint consistently. He’ll look to do more of the same against the Nuggets on Christmas Night.

The shorthanded Knicks failed to come up with an answer defensively for Edwards, whose 38 points were the most he’s scored since returning from the foot injury that sidelined him for three games.

Minnesota visits Denver on Christmas Day, and that could be another big night for Edwards.

After missing Thursday’s loss to the Raptors, Kuzma was moved into the starting lineup, with Gary Trent Jr. dropping to the bench. He only recorded six official field-goal attempts, but Kuzma recorded his second double-double of the season. The inconsistency makes him a challenging player to rely on in standard fantasy leagues, but Kuzma is worth a shot in deeper leagues if he remains in the starting lineup. Trent once again struggled with his shot on Sunday, scoring six points on 2-of-11 shooting.

After a stellar performance in Thursday’s loss to the Raptors, Portis was inserted into the starting lineup for the first time since November 22.

Jericho Sims, who was moved back to the bench to make room for Portis, played 19 minutes and finished with nine points, six rebounds, two assists and one steal. As long as he’s starting in place of the injured Giannis Antetokounmpo, Portis should be rostered in 12-team leagues.

While Porter committed six turnovers on Sunday, his finishing one assist shy of a triple-double is more notable, especially in eight-cat formats.

And there was a good reason for the veteran guard to play more, as Jaden McDaniels exited during the first half with a hip injury.

Goebrt has been a beast on the glass recently, grabbing at least 12 rebounds in five straight games. Sunday’s tally of 18 was the most in a game for the veteran center since October 26, when Gobert reached that number in a win over the Pacers.

For the first time since Milwaukee’s season opener, Rollins came off the bench on Thursday. However, being replaced in the lineup by Gary Trent Jr. did not negatively impact Rollins’ value. He finished a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line and appeared to do well in the minutes that he didn’t share the floor with Kevin Porter Jr. As for Trent, he shot 1-of-8 from the field and finished with three points, two assists, two steals and one three-pointer in 30 minutes. Fantasy managers who have held onto Rollins for this long should keep the faith, especially after his performance against the Raptors.

Turner finished Thursday with his fourth 20-point game of the season and first since November 26. Unfortunately for those who have the center rostered, his fantasy value has not increased with Giannis Antetokounmpo sidelined. In fact, Turner is ranked outside the top-200 in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks.

Despite the Raptors not employing a legitimate center in their starting lineup with Jakob Poeltl out, the Bucks still started Jericho Sims alongside Myles Turner. It was inevitable that Portis would be asked to do more, and he was up to the task. The “Mayor of Milwaukee” recorded his second double-double in three games and replaced Sims (six points, seven rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes) in the lineup to begin the third quarter. As long as Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is out, Portis is worth rostering.

For fantasy managers competing in eight-cat formats or punting turnovers, Thursday was a great night to have Porter rostered.

KPJ has been a first-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, and the overall production has been good enough to make him a top-20 player in nine-cat.
