Giannis is still dealing with left knee patellar tendinopathy and will miss Wednesday’s game against the Hornets. The 30-year-old power forward had appeared in 10 of the first 11 Bucks games and was averaging 33.4 points, 11.9 rebounds and 6.2 assists. Ryan Rollins, Bobby Portis and Kyle Kuzma are the most likely to benefit from Giannis’ absence with Kuzma likely replacing him in the starting lineup.

Ingram did nearly all his damage in mid-range and free-throw line against one of the worst defensive teams in the league this season, as he went just 1-of-6 from three-point range but still managed to shoot nearly 50 percent from the floor. He poured in a game-high 13 points to power Toronto to an eight-point 60-52 halftime advantage and helped them pull away late with a strong second half. He’s performed at a fifth-round value for fantasy managers this season, averaging 21 points, six rebounds and four assists through 11 games.

Due to a lingering case of left knee patellar tendinopathy, Antetokounmpo is back on the Bucks’ injury report. While Wednesday’s game is not part of a back-to-back, this may be viewed as an opportunity to get the superstar forward additional rest. If Giannis doesn’t play, Kyle Kuzma is the likely replacement in the starting lineup. He hasn’t been a great fantasy option this season, but the chance to start without Giannis raises Kuzma’s ceiling.

While he’s only recorded one 20-point game as a Buck, Turner’s defensive production has been what fantasy managers hoped for. The 6-foot-11 center recorded three steals and three blocks on Sunday, the third time in four games that he’s produced at least five “stocks.” Turner is providing fifth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, and all that’s needed to improve that would be a modest boost to his scoring.

Rollins continues to provide excellent value as the Bucks’ starting point guard. He’s scored in double figures in nine straight games and has offered third-round per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats since moving into the starting lineup on October 24.

Giannis didn’t record any defensive stats on Sunday, the first time he’s done that since the Bucks’ opener, but the offensive production remained elite. He’s scored at least 31 points in seven of the nine games he’s appeared in and is providing top-15 per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Despite shooting just 63.5 percent from the foul line, Antetokounmpo’s field-goal percentage has increased by three points compared to last season. Also, his rebounding average has increased while the turnovers have decreased. The Bucks play four games during Week 4, starting with the Mavericks on Monday.

Though it was Ochai Agbaji that started in place of Jakob Poeltl (back) against the 76ers, it was CMB and Sandro Mamukelashvili that filled the void. Agbaji was held scoreless in 15 minutes, while CMB was able to turn in a complete line in 22 minutes, and Mamu added 10 points, three rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block in 17 minutes. This was the second leg of a back-to-back, which is why Poeltl was unavailable. Toronto’s next back-to-back isn’t until November 29 and 30, so Poeltl should be available for the next few weeks.

Rollins continues to flourish as the Bucks’ starting point guard, enjoying his third game with at least 20 points on Friday. He’s proven to be a good fit alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has taken on more playmaking responsibilities this season. With Rollins being a fourth-round player in nine-cat formats, it will be enticing for some managers to consider selling high. However, holding onto him would not be the worst idea, even after Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) returns from injury.

For the first time as a Buck, Turner has recorded a 20-point game. In fact, he entered Friday having surpassed 15 points just once. While he can provide valuable spacing for Giannis Antetokounmpo, that has generally resulted in the “Greek Freak” getting downhill even more and finishing at the basket, rather than a few more catch-and-shoot opportunities for Turner. He was more involved in the offense on Friday, resulting in his best performance of the season thus far.

Barnes struggled with his shot on Friday, shooting 0-of-6 from outside of the paint. However, he did record his fourth double-double of the season and third in four games. Barnes is shooting a respectable 49 percent from the field thus far, one reason why he’s providing first-round value in nine-cat formats. The occasional bad shooting night isn’t a significant concern, especially given how well he’s shot overall.

Barrett continues his excellent start to the season, having scored at least 19 points in seven of nine games played.

The lone negative for Barrett so far has been the foul line, where he’s shooting 74.3 percent. Punt that category, and his fantasy value improves by two rounds. Can he sustain this production? Given the career numbers, that may not be easy to do, and some managers may look to sell high as a result.

Ingram led seven Raptors, including all five starters, in double figures on Friday. He’s scored at least 20 points in four of his last five and six of nine appearances this season.

According to Basketball Monster, he’s a top-10 player in eight- and nine-cat formats.

Even with Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) back in the Bucks’ lineup, Portis’ playing time increased on Saturday, playing 23 minutes after logging 16 in Thursday’s win over the Warriors.
