The Bucks are down several rotation players for Wednesday’s game, which is the team’s second in as many nights. Green, Dieng and Nance are in the starting lineup, filling in for Ryan Rollins, Kyle Kuzma and Myles Turner.

Rollins’ absence on Wednesday is just one of several for the Bucks, who have already been eliminated from playoff contention. Rollins is having a career-best season, averaging 17.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 5.6 assists per game. In his absence, AJ Green and Gary Trent Jr. could provide some backcourt production with increased minutes.

This was an offensive outburst for Holiday, which led to his third 30-point game of the season. This performance was only surpassed by his outing against the Grizzlies on March 4, where he contributed 35 points and eight three-pointers. Holiday has been a strong starter for the Blazers this season, though performances like this haven’t come often. He’ll look to carry some of this production into Thursday’s matchup with the Pelicans, which will be their final game of the week.

Rough free throw shooting has limited Avdija’s value as of late, but he was able to have a productive night from there in this game while also recording his third double-double of the month. Avdija has enjoyed a breakout season, though he has certainly cooled off over the past two months. The back injury that has forced him to miss time is certainly a reason, and Portland will hope to have him at 100 percent for the postseason.

After starting 12 of his last 13 appearances, Dieng was pushed to the bench for this game with Milwaukee rolling out its healthiest lineup in a while. Still, Dieng was able to have a productive outing as a reserve, though it wasn’t an efficient performance. Dieng will continue to play big minutes for the Bucks for the rest of this season, which should allow him to make an impact for fantasy managers. He’ll look to keep it going in Houston on Wednesday, with multiple starters likely to be unavailable for the second leg of this back-to-back.

In his return from a four-game absence, Kuzma was immediately able to make a big impact in the box score. He scored 20 points in his final game before the absence, but prior to that, his production came inconsistently. Kuzma hasn’t been a reliable option in fantasy basketball this season, though he should still be able to provide some value down the stretch of this season, even if it won’t be as efficient as it was in this game often.

Following a one-game absence with a hip injury, Rollins returned to help the Bucks end a four-game losing streak. He nearly recorded a triple-double and had a much better scoring performance than in his last appearance, when he was held to 12 points in 5-of-15 shooting. Rollins continues to be a strong candidate to win the Most Improved Player award, and he’ll remain productive when available for the rest of the season.

Camara led the Trail Blazers in scoring in the win over the Wizards on Sunday. The 25-year-old small forward only played 28 minutes with the Trail Blazers leading by so much. He was coming off a career-high 35 point game earlier in the week. Camara would be an interesting waiver wire addition, but the Trail Blazers play just twice in Week 23.

Henderson moved into the starting lineup Sunday with Jerami Grant (calf) out and was excellent. The 22-year-old point guard produced big numbers in just 25 minutes. It was a nice game, but his fantasy ceiling is still fairly low depending on Grant’s health.

Avdija returned from a back injury earlier this month and his play has picked up as of late. The 25-year-old small forward has had at least 17 points in his last 12 consecutive games, a stretch where his team is 8-4. Turnovers continue to be the lone issue for Avdija as he’s had at least four turnovers in each of his last three games. The Trail Blazers only have two games upcoming in Week 23, starting with a matchup against the Clippers on Tuesday.

With Jackson replacing Ryan Rollins in the starting lineup, there may have been hope that he could bring something to the table in the assist department. Unfortunately, Jackson did not record any helpers, but he shot the ball reasonably well while also finishing with six rebounds and two steals. With the Bucks eliminated from postseason contention, there may be more opportunities for Jackson to play extended minutes. However, that isn’t enough to make him a player worth rostering in most leagues.

After totaling 12 points on 4-of-14 shooting in his prior two appearances, Green shot the ball better on Sunday. All that the final stat line lacked was a blocked shot in what was a solid overall effort for a player who has struggled since the All-Star break. The Bucks play four games in Week 23, and Green’s playing time may remain high if the team is as shorthanded as it was on Sunday. With only eight players available, he logged 28 minutes against the Clippers.

Prince came off the bench on Sunday, but the absences on the perimeter resulted in the veteran wing getting more playmaking opportunities than many expected. He led the Bucks in assists while shooting over 50 percent from the field, and fantasy managers will certainly take the rebounds as well. Prince’s value in a four-game Week 23 depends on the availability of some of the higher-profile Bucks, who are officially eliminated from playoff contention.

Making his second start in as many days, Trent caught fire on Sunday. The 36 points and nine three-pointers were highs for him in a Bucks uniform, and he did so while shooting over 50 percent from the field. Add in the assists and steals, and Sunday was a good day for those streaming Trent. The Bucks play four games in Week 23, starting with the Mavericks on Tuesday. If Trent continues to start, he can be a difference-maker in deeper fantasy leagues.

Grant injured his right calf during the second half of Friday’s defeat, and there is some concern that he’ll miss time. Following the game, acting head coach Thiago Splitter said Grant felt a pop in his calf. He’ll be evaluated further on Saturday, and Sunday’s game against the Wizards could be off the board for Grant, at a minimum. If he misses time, Scoot Henderson (9/2/3/3 with one three-pointer) would have added importance to the Trail Blazers, even if he continues to come off the bench.

Avdjia did everything but make a three-pointer on Friday, helping compensate for another high-turnover night. The Trail Blazers’ playmaker was responsible for five turnovers against the Mavericks, and he’s been responsible for at least three in each of his last ten appearances. Given how much Avdija has the ball in his hands, the turnovers are somewhat understandable. And the task would become more difficult if Jerami Grant (calf) has to miss time.

Holiday finished Friday’s defeat with his first 20-point game in two weeks, with his scoring output having decreased during the second half of March. After scoring 20 or more in five of Portland’s first six games of the month, the veteran guard was limited to 15 or fewer in seven straight before Friday. With Jerami Grant leaving Friday’s game with a calf injury, the Trail Blazers may need more offensive production from Holiday going forward, which could raise his ceiling. But only if he can take advantage.

Henderson was outstanding on Wednesday, leading the Trail Blazers in scoring while also not committing a turnover. His role keeps the former lottery pick’s fantasy ceiling relatively low, but he has provided 11th-round value in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks.

The veteran forward did not offer much outside of the points and three-pointers, but he has provided ninth-round value in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break.
