Gilgeous-Alexander missed Oklahoma City’s final five games before the All-Star break with an abdominal strain. Thursday’s update means the reigning league MVP will miss at least four more games before he’s re-evaluated. Cason Wallace has taken on a more prominent role in the Thunder rotation, and minutes have also been available for Jared McCain. Wallace is the superior fantasy option and should be rostered in 12-team leagues.

After missing Milwaukee’s final two games before the All-Star break with plantar fasciitis in his right foot, Rollins is off the injury report. Rollins’ return may push Ousmane Dieng to the bench, but he’s played well enough to continue to receive solid rotation minutes, even with a potential demotion.

Turner is still dealing with the same calf injury that cost him a game before the All-Star break. The 29-year-old center is set to miss Friday’s game against the Pelicans. Ousmane Dieng should fill in for Turner and is worth streaming given his recent play.

Giannis has been sidelined since straining his right calf for the second time this season during a January 23 loss to the Nuggets. At the time, he set a four-to-six-week timeline, and the former league MVP is on the right path. “I feel like the break doesn’t help, because now I gotta get on the court, I gotta play some 1-on-1, 3-on-3, 5 vs. 5,” Antetokounmpo said Saturday. “Players are on vacation right now, so it’s kinda hard for me to do that. “So once I check all those boxes, I’m ready to go. I feel like I can play a game today.” Giannis has made it clear he will play again this season. And the Bucks’ wins over Orlando and Oklahoma City heading into the All-Star break likely sparked optimism about the team’s chances of earning a playoff berth once they get their star forward back.

Joe continues to pick up some of the slack with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander out. The 26-year-old guard has shown over the last six games that he’s not going to contribute much in the other categories, but he can provide 17 points and three three-pointers every night. Joe will have value as long as this arrangement and his solid play continue.

Portis showed again Thursday why he leads all active bench players in double-doubles with 15 points and 12 rebounds in the win over the Thunder. The 31-year-old small forward seems to be over his hip injury. With the All-Star break approaching, Portis and the Bucks are off until Friday, February 20 against the Pelicans.

Dieng has struggled to produce or see minutes consistently this season, but has flashed a high-ceiling in the last two games. The 22-year-old small forward followed up a 17-point performance in 23 minutes in the win against the Magic on Wednesday with a full stat line in the win over the Thunder on Thursday. Dieng had 19 points and was just four assists shy of a triple-double while also contributing on the defensive end with a steal and four blocks. He also made three three-pointers. The Bucks deciding to keep giving him more minutes could lead to more games like this in the future.

With Isaiah Hartenstein (injury management) and Jalen Williams (hamstring) ruled out, Isaiah Joe and Kenrich Williams will slide into the starting lineup Thursday against the Bucks. Joe has averaged 17 points, 3.6 three-pointers and shot 54.5 percent from the field over his last five games.

Turner wasn’t on the initial injury report, but was a late scratch with right calf soreness. Ousmane Dieng had 17 points in 23 minutes in Wednesday’s win over the Magic and could be in for even more minutes with Turner out Thursday against the Thunder, Dieng’s former team.

Rollins is set to miss his second consecutive game with right foot plantar fasciitis.

Joe was the leading scorer for OKC’s bench unit in this game, but it was a group effort to get the big win. Seven players scored in double figures for the Thunder, including five reserves. The bench unit accounted for 74 of OKC’s 136 points, with Joe leading the way in just 18 minutes. Joe is an elite shooter that can have performances like his when he gets the opportunity, but the minutes haven’t been consistent enough for him to be a standard league option.

Williams struggled with his shot on Monday, which was his first game after missing nearly a month with a hamstring injury. However, he was incredibly efficient during his 20 minutes in this game. He only missed one shot in the blowout win. This was the first leg of a back-to-back, so there is certainly a chance that Williams sits out against the Bucks on Thursday, especially after exiting to get his hamstring attended to.

KPJ’s play dwindled in January, but his first four games back after missing time with an oblique injury have been excellent. He has averaged 21.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 8.8 assists and 2.3 steals per game, which has helped the shorthanded Bucks remain competitive. As long as Giannis Antetokounmpo remains out, KPJ should be productive as a high-usage player, and he was able to record his second triple-double of the season in this game.

Thomas only played 13 minutes against Orlando on Monday, but he took on a larger role in the rematch and was far more productive. His role dwindled over the final weeks of his Nets’ tenure, but in his second game with Milwaukee, he had his highest-scoring game since October. If Thomas is able to continue to play this well after the All-Star break, he may be able to secure a long-term deal this summer and be a strong option for fantasy managers down the stretch.

Dieng’s first game with the Bucks was just a five-minute in a blowout loss, and he wasn’t able to do much. However, his role expanded in his second game with the team, and he set a new career high for three-pointers in a game. He’s still only 22 years old, and he holds plenty of upside. He could end up playing a larger role for the Bucks over the final two months of the season, which could lead to more productive outings like this one.

Sims was part of a bigger starting unit for the Bucks with Ryan Rollins (foot) sidelined, and that strategy worked out well for the Bucks. He recorded a double-double and didn’t miss a shot on his way to setting a new career high for scoring. It was also enough for the Bucks to get a win. They play again in Oklahoma City on Thursday, and if Rollins remains out, Sims should be in line for another start.

Rollins popped up on the injury report Wednesday morning with right foot plantar fasciitis. The 23-year-old point guard is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Magic.

Joe has been red-hot recently, though only as a reserve. Over his last four games, he has averaged 20.7 points in the three games he came off the bench and scored just two points in his lone start. Joe has taken on more minutes due to the all the injuries in the backcourt and has been a decent streaming option as of late. He’ll look to stay hot against the Suns on Wednesday.

After missing nearly a month with a hamstring injury, Williams was back in the lineup against Los Angeles. He was limited to 24 minutes, but he was able to make a strong impact despite a subpar shooting night. Nearly half his points came from the free throw line, which helped make up for his field goal percentage. Williams is typically able to contribute more value than he did in this game, but this was about getting him back on the floor. He’ll likely continue to have his minutes managed and should miss back-to-backs. OKC plays in Phoenix on Wednesday and against the Bucks on Thursday; expect Williams to play against the Suns.

One day after his signing was made official, Thomas made his Bucks debut. As was the case in Brooklyn, he came off the bench, playing 13 minutes. The production wasn’t there, but the Bucks do have two more games before the All-Star break. There’s no need to roster Thomas in most leagues, but some practice time with his new teammates could prove helpful after the break.

After totaling 52 points and attempting 32 shots in his final two games of January, Turner has recorded 11 shots or fewer in each of his last five. The good news for fantasy managers is that the Bucks center can offer solid value in other categories, most notably blocks. However, Turner’s production has also tailed off in that category since the calendar flipped to February. He’s totaled eight blocks in five games, six fewer than his total in Milwaukee’s final three games of January. Hopefully, Turner finishes the pre-break portion of the schedule with another good night in the blocks category on Wednesday against Orlando.

Having made at least four three-pointers in four straight games, Green has knocked down 20 in Milwaukee’s first five contests of February.

Only those who need three-pointers should roster Green.

While he shot 1-of-5 from beyond the arc, Porter was highly efficient inside of it on Monday. In addition to shooting 9-of-14 from two, the Bucks’ guard attempted a team-high seven free throws. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) out, even more of the offense runs through Porter and Ryan Rollins (14 points, six rebounds, three assists, two steals and two three-pointers). While that raises the fantasy ceiling of both players, they’ll need to clean up the turnovers in Wednesday’s rematch. Porter was responsible for five turnovers while Rollins racked up six.

Just a few days after being waived by the Nets, Thomas has reportedly found a new home. While a player capable of putting up big scoring numbers, the guard has not shown much ability to make plays for others or defend consistently. He’ll get the opportunity to do that in Milwaukee, hopefully using it as a springboard into free agency in the summer. Thomas’ signing could eventually leave a dent in the playing time for Ryan Rollins, A.J. Green, and Kevin Porter Jr.

Porter Jr.'s second game back from injury was even more impressive than his first. He flirted with a triple-double while leading Milwaukee in scoring along the way. Poor three-point shooting on Friday was about the only blemish, which is a notable one, as he’s now gone 0-of-13 from deep over his last four appearances. If Porter Jr. can regain his form from beyond the arc, it’ll only make him a more valuable fantasy basketball option going forward.

Rollins extended his streak of 20-point games to four on Friday, utilizing the three-point shot to land most of his scoring production, while joining Kevin Porter Jr. and Bobby Portis as the only Bucks players to reach the 20-point mark against the Pacers. Rollins has played many different roles and been cast into a variety of starting lineups this season, but has remained productive through it all. Given his sustained success, there’s no reason for fantasy managers to think Rollins won’t remain productive past the All-Star Break and beyond.

The Bucks secured a third straight win on Friday, with Portis’ scoring playing a key role. In his return from a two-game absence, he finished as one of three Bucks players to score at least 20 points, as he used efficient shooting to reach his high point total. The veteran forward, with Kyle Kuzma (calf) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) both currently sidelined, will continue to function as one of Milwaukee’s most reliable frontcourt options. His offensive production may be key against the Magic on Monday.

Sims doesn’t offer the highest fantasy ceiling, but Myles Turner’s limitations as a rebounder mean that he’ll have chances to provide added value in that category.

While Giannis gave himself a timeline of four to six weeks for his return, the Bucks offered no such guarantees. Based on Rivers’ words on Friday, the Bucks star may be able to return sooner than anticipated.
