Back in the lineup after missing Wednesday’s loss to the Trail Blazers, Turner put forth a respectable showing against the Spurs. It wasn’t enough to keep Milwaukee from getting blown out, but fantasy managers will take the complete stat line. There’s no sugarcoating the fact that this season has been a disappointment for Turner, who the Bucks signed to a four-year deal last summer. The Bucks host the Clippers on Sunday in their final game of Week 22.

Rollins had a rough afternoon in the 127-95 defeat, missing all seven of his three-point attempts and committing five turnovers. With Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) unlikely to play again, according to Bucks head coach Doc Rivers, starting point guard responsibilities will continue to belong to Rollins. That bodes well for fantasy managers heading into Week 23, as long as Rollins can be more efficient than he was against the Spurs. Before Week 23, the Bucks still have one more game in Week 22, as they host the Clippers on Sunday.

Making his first start since December 18, Trent led the Bucks in scoring with an efficient 18 points. He did not provide much beyond the points and field-goal percentage, but things could have gone far worse for Trent in Saturday’s blowout defeat. Milwaukee plays once more in Week 22, as they host the Clippers on Sunday. Given how shorthanded the Bucks are, Trent is worth the risk in deep leagues for managers seeking a streamer.

Porter has missed the Bucks’ last five games with right knee synovitis, and that includes Saturday’s game against the Bucks. When available, KPJ has been an asset to fantasy managers, but injuries have limited him to 38 appearances. His absence raises Ryan Rollins’ fantasy ceiling, and he should be rostered in all fantasy leagues due to the Bucks’ lack of consistent scoring options.

Due to a sore left calf, Thanasis has been added to the Bucks’ injury report. While he did see first-half action during Wednesday’s loss to the Trail Blazers, Antetokounmpo logged a total of eight minutes. His absence would not affect fantasy basketball if he’s unable to play.

Williams has been out since early March, while Brooks has been sidelined for a little over a month. The good news is that both are making progress in their respective recoveries. However, Williams and Brooks still not being cleared for 5-on-5 work does not bode well for their ability to impact fantasy basketball in Week 23. Managers stashing either in an IL spot can continue to hold out hope that this changes, but they should not ignore potential alternatives on the waiver wire.

With Myles Turner (calf) unavailable, Sims slid into the starting center role on Wednesday. While he could not do much with Portland’s Donovan Clingan, the Bucks’ 6-foot-10 pivot did not miss a shot from the field. Sims’ production rewarded the few who have him on their fantasy rosters, but not to the level where more fantasy managers should follow suit. The Bucks don’t play again until Saturday, and that may be enough time to get Turner back into the lineup.

Dieng has now started Milwaukee’s last four games, with his promotion coinciding with Kevin Porter Jr. being out with a knee injury. However, the lineup change has not done much for Dieng’s fantasy value, with the Bucks forward being a 13th-round player in eight-cat formats over the past week. The final line against the Trail Blazers was solid, but not enough to move the needle. Dieng remains more valuable in dynasty leagues than redraft leagues.

Given how shorthanded the Bucks were on Wednesday, the stage was set for Rollins to have a big night. That’s precisely what happened, as he scored a career-high 36 points. Rollins was responsible for five turnovers, but scoring those 36 points on good percentages helped compensate for that. The Bucks return home to end Week 22 with a back-to-back against the Spurs and Clippers, two challenging matchups. If Milwaukee remains as shorthanded as it was in Portland, Rollins is going to get up a lot of shots.

Booker had a rough shooting night, but he was able to make up for it by scoring half of his point at the free throw line and dishing out plenty of dimes. It wasn’t enough to get the win, and the Suns have now lost six of their last seven games. They only have one more game left this week, which will limit his impact for fantasy managers. Still, it is against the tanking Jazz, so it should at least be a strong performance from him.

Allen returned to the lineup following a four-game absence with a knee injury. He didn’t shoot efficiently, but he was still able to contribute buckets off the bench in the loss.

Unfortunately, the Suns only have one game left this week, which will limit his upside.

Rollins didn’t have much success on Monday against a Clippers defense that forced him into five turnovers. But even when he took care of the basketball, points and three-pointers were hard to come by in his 27 minutes of action. Rollins was, however, a difference maker as a playmaker, but not enough to prevent the game from getting out of hand towards the end of the first half. A lopsided score limited Rollins’ time on the floor and ultimately cost him some fantasy production.

Green was one of several Milwaukee reserves who came in and provided offensive production. As usual, his impact came from behind the three-point line; he missed just one shot from deep in his 21 minutes of game action en route to finishing as the Bucks’ second leading scorer on the evening. While his shooting was impressive against the Clippers, Green isn’t someone likely to be a consistent producer in fantasy leagues, given his playstyle and the role he’s currently occupying.

Trent Jr. led the Bucks in scoring on Monday and finished as the team’s only player to tally 20 or more points. For context, 14 of his points came in the fourth quarter of the game that was well out of reach for the Bucks. Yet, seeing the ball go through the hoop for Trent Jr. must have felt great, given his struggles to shoot the ball this season. He’s now recorded back-to-back games with at least three three-pointers. However, Trent Jr. isn’t someone fantasy managers should be looking to add.

After providing limited value in his first two starts for the injured Royce O’Neale (knee), Goodwin was more impactful on Sunday. The 14 points were the most he’s scored in a game since February 21, which was the last game he played before being sidelined by a strained calf. Add in the rebounds, steals and three-pointers, and Sunday was a good finish to Week 21 for Goodwin and those streaming him. With the Suns playing two games in Week 22, it’s safe to move on, even if O’Neale has to miss more time.

Gillespie has made at least three three-pointers in four consecutive games, making 17 of his 37 attempts. All that his final stat line on Sunday lacked was a blocked shot, but very few, if any, fantasy managers look to Gillespie for production in that category. Over the past three weeks, Gillespie has been a seventh-round player in eight-cat formats. However, with the Suns limited to two games in Week 22, holding onto Gillespie may not be something some managers are willing to do, despite his productivity.

After a disappointing performance in Saturday’s loss to the Bucks, Booker rebounded nicely against the Raptors. In addition to the points and excellent percentages, the Suns’ guard dished out six assists.

Unfortunately for fantasy managers, the Suns play just two games in Week 22, which may limit Booker’s impact.
