Turner is still dealing with a left ankle sprain. The 29-year-old center was initially listed as probable, so his availability isn’t much of a surprise. Turner will start as usual and could see extra minutes and usage with Bobby Portis (hip) still sidelined.

Anthony is expected to suit up despite the left ankle sprain. He has played a small role off the bench recently, but with Kevin Porter Jr. (oblique) back, that may not continue. Anthony hasn’t been productive in those minutes either, so managers shouldn’t pay too much attention to his status.

This will be a second consecutive absence for Portis, which led to Amir Coffey sliding into the starting lineup. Coffey didn’t make much of a contribution in the box score, but Kyle Kuzma had a fantastic performance and could provide an encore against New Orleans.

Bucks coach Doc Rivers said on Tuesday that KPJ was close to returning, and now that he’s off the injury report, he will make his return against New Orleans. Prior to this six-game absence, KPJ spent one game coming off the bench and could remain in that limited role in his return. Cole Anthony will lose minutes with Porter back.

Edgecombe become the first 76ers rookie since Ben Simmons to have 25 points, seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals in a game. The 20-year-old guard carried the 76ers to a decisive victory over the Warriors, taking over the game at times in the second half. He’s provided seventh-round per game value this season. The 76ers’ road trip continues Thursday against the Lakers.

Rollins continues to average career-highs across the board in what has turned into a breakout season. The 23-year-old point guard was three rebounds shy of a triple-double in Tuesday’s win over the Bulls. Rollins has provided fourth-round per game value this season. The Bucks play the Pelicans Wednesday at home on the second night of a back-to-back.

Without Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Bobby Portis (hip), the Bucks were relying on Kuzma and he totally delivered in the win over the Bulls on Tuesday. The 30-year-old power forward had 31 points, 10 rebounds and six assists and was +18 in 31 minutes in the 16-point victory. Kuzma could be one of the main beneficiaries of fantasy value for the rest of the season, depending on what the Bucks do before the trade deadline.

Tuesday’s game against the Bulls will be the sixth Porter has missed due to a strained oblique. However, a return to action isn’t far away, with Rivers saying that KPJ could be back either Wednesday or Friday. His return would provide much-needed help on the perimeter for the Bucks, who are also without Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf). Cole Anthony has entered the rotation, but his production has not been good enough to merit being streamed in fantasy leagues.

Portis is dealing with a right hip contusion, and he’s in danger of sitting out against the Bucks’ Central Division rival after his late addition to the injury report. If Portis is sidelined, Kyle Kuzma could take on an even larger role, and Amir Coffey could earn some additional run off the bench.

The first half was rough for Embiid, and he entered the break with just eight points on 2-of-10 FGs. However, he was far more effective after the break. That was enough to keep his streak of 20-point games alive, which now dates back to early December. The 76ers have now won four games in a row, and they’ll put that streak to the test in Golden State on Tuesday, which is the second night of a back-to-back. That means they’ll likely be without Embiid.

Maxey struggled in their last game on Saturday, but he was able to get back on track in this one. He matched his season high for three-pointers, which he initially set in his season debut. He has ranked inside the top three for nine-category value this season, and he’s shown no signs of slowing down. He’ll look to stay hot in Golden State on Tuesday, which is the second night of a back-to-back, meaning Joel Embiid will likely sit.

Barlow got the start for a second straight game and should remain in that role for most of the rest of the season with Paul George suspended for 23 more games. He took full advantage of the increased opportunity and set a new career high for points and a season high for rebounds. Barlow is still playing on a two-way deal, but more performances like this could help him earn a standard contract.

Kuzma joined Ryan Rollins as the only Bucks in double figures on Sunday. He hasn’t been the most reliable fantasy option for most of his career, but the current circumstances could make Kuzma worth the risk in points leagues. Rostered in 25 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he’s been more productive with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Porter Jr. out due to injury. The Bucks play three games in Week 16, starting with the Bulls on Tuesday.

Rollins was essentially the only Bucks player able to establish anything offensively in Boston. The Bucks’ guard had an efficient afternoon at the office, and the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Porter Jr. raises his ceiling considerably. While it remains to be seen what Milwaukee does before the trade deadline, fantasy managers should feel secure in rostering Rollins.

Limited to five points in Thursday’s win over the Kings, Edgecombe tripled that number on Saturday. In addition to the field-goal percentage, fantasy managers received solid value in the assist and three-point categories from the rookie guard.

No Paul George (suspension) frees up scoring opportunities for 76ers not named Joel Embiid or Tyrese Maxey, with Oubre being at the top of that list. The Tsunami Papi had a good night against the Pelicans, recording his third double-double and first since returning from the knee injury that sidelined him for nearly two months. Oubre is still available in over 70 percent of Yahoo! leagues. He’s worth picking up ahead of Philadelphia’s four-game Week 16.

While he’s had better nights shooting the basketball, Maxey was a positive asset for managers seeking assists and a low turnover count. He’s dished out at least eight assists in three consecutive games, and Saturday’s eight helpers came with just one turnover. With Paul George suspended for 25 games, Maxey’s ability to set up others becomes even more critical. While high-scoring nights have been the norm for the All-Star guard, don’t be surprised if the assists increase in the coming weeks.

On a night when the 76ers were honoring the 2001 Eastern Conference champions, Embiid turned back the clock with one of his best performances of the season. The 7-footer finished with his first 40-point game and seventh double-double of the season. With Paul George serving a 25-game suspension, Embiid’s health and productivity take on added importance for the 76ers and for fantasy managers. Philadelphia now heads west for a five-game trip that begins on Monday against the Clippers, with four being played during Week 16.

It was a subpar two-game stretch for Maxey entering this game, but he got back on track in a big way. Not only did he have his first 40-point game since November, but he also hit a game-winning layup with less than two seconds left. Maxey has had a fantastic season and continues to be one of the most effective players in fantasy basketball. He’ll look to stay hot against the Pelicans on Saturday to wrap up the week.

Embiid stayed hot in this game and has now scored at least 30 points in five of his last six games. Over the past wo weeks, Embiid has provided top-five value in nine-category leagues, which is incredible value for a player drafted in the fifth round. Of course, the caveat of “he has to stay healthy” will remain until April, but he’s playing at an incredibly high level. As long as he’s on the floor, he’ll continue to be one of the best players in fantasy basketball.

Quiet for the first half of Thursday’s game, Rollins shot 6-of-10 from the field after halftime and helped Milwaukee make the game competitive down the stretch. Unfortunately for the Bucks, he had to leave with just over two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter due to a right calf cramp and did not return. With Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Porter Jr. out due to injury, Rollins has a higher fantasy ceiling and is worth targeting in 10-team leagues.

Kuzma didn’t let being booed every time he touched the ball get him off his game, as he had one of his better performances of the season. In the two games the Bucks have played since losing Giannis Antetokounmpo to a calf strain, Kuzma has totaled 36 points, 17 rebounds and 14 assists while shooting 14-of-30 from the field. While he hasn’t been the most reliable fantasy option, current circumstances make Kuzma worth the risk in some 12-team leagues.

Unfortunately for the Bucks, it appears that Giannis Antetokounmpo going down with a calf strain was what fully unlocked Turner. After going off for 31 points in Tuesday’s loss to the 76ers, he finished Thursday’s defeat with his best all-around line of the season. Turner’s double-double was his third of the season; the rebound tally was a season-high, and he matched his previous high in blocks. Over the past two weeks, Turner has been a top-5 player in eight-cat formats.

A double-figure scorer in nine consecutive games, Portis’ 19 points were the most in a game for him since he hit that number in a January 19 win over the Hawks. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) out for the foreseeable future, Portis will have every opportunity to do more offensively. However, his fantasy value over the past two weeks has not cracked the top-100 in eight-cat formats. While this may give some shallow-league managers pause, those competing in standard leagues should still look to add Portis if he’s sitting on the waiver wire.

The Bucks have struggled mightily without Antetokounmpo this season, going just 3-12 in games that he missed. The Bucks are 12th in the Eastern Conference standings at 18-27, and their season could get even worse as Giannis has no timetable to return. Milwaukee is incentivized to trade Antetokounmpo, but according to Charania, the team will be patient and wait to move him until the offseason if it feels that a better package will be available. We may have already seen the last of Giannis in a Bucks uniform.

It was George’s second 30-point game of the season, and it was enough to snap the 76ers’ two-game losing streak.
