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.

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.

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.

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.

Butler has recently provided solid late-round fantasy value, as he has been an 11th-round player over the past two weeks. While he won’t offer much value on the boards, the assists, steals and three-pointers have made Butler worthy of rostering in deep leagues.

Rostered in 29 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has been an 11th-round player over the past two weeks. For leagues that will be active during Week 23, the 76ers play four games without a back-to-back, which should bode well for Yabusele’s availability.

Walker came off the bench to begin Saturday’s game, but was ultimately inserted into the lineup to start the third quarter after Justin Edwards was ruled out for the night with a rib contusion.

And Monday’s game against Miami would be a prime streaming opportunity since only two games are on the schedule.

As has been the case throughout the last month, Grimes again shouldered a significant amount of the offensive workload for the 76ers. The good news for fantasy managers is this has not negatively impacted Grimes’ efficiency, most recently shooting over 50 percent from the field on Saturday. Over the past month, he has provided top-25 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Grimes will be a restricted free agent this summer, and his play has likely driven up the price he’ll command in July.

Following a two-game absence, Yabusele was back for Thursday’s game and slotted right back into the starting lineup. This was a significant improvement over his last appearance; he was held to just one point in 30 minutes in a blowout loss to the Heat. This was his third time scoring at least 20 points since the All-Star break, with all three coming in his last six appearances. Yabusele, who is set to be a free agent this summer, will have plenty of interested teams looking to add him to their rotation.

The 76ers keep losing, and Grimes keeps cooking, which is exactly what management wants. This was his 11th time scoring at least 20 points in his last 12 appearances, and it was his second point-assist double-double during this stretch. He’ll continue to be an elite fantasy option for the remainder of this season, but he is a difficult player to project heading into next year. He’ll be a restricted free agent this summer, and if he remains with Philadelphia, it’s unclear where he will fit into the rotation with Tyrese Maxey, Jared McCain, Paul George and a potential top-six pick in the mix.

Bona, who was drafted in the second round last summer, has really taken off over the past month. In this game, he shattered his previous career-high of 16 points, which he initially set a few weeks ago. The 22-year-old has thrived in a lost season for Philadelphia, and it has come on both ends of the floor; this was his fifth-straight game with at least three blocks. It’s difficult to imagine Bona playing a significant role next season, though it will depend on Joel Embiid’s availability.

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.

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.

Maxey has not appeared in a game since March 3. While he was initially dealing with back and finger injuries, the latter is why the 76ers guard will not play again this season. According to Charania, Maxey is still experiencing discomfort in his finger and needs further treatment. What was not reported is the possibility of Maxey undergoing offseason surgery to address the issue. Maxey exceeded his Yahoo! ADP (26) in eight- and nine-cat formats, appearing in 52 games. However, the 76ers rarely had their “big three” on the court together, as Joel Embiid and Paul George were also limited due to injuries. This is the first season in which Maxey has failed to play at least 60 games, so fantasy managers should not be too concerned heading into drafts in the fall.

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.

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.
