Portis didn’t make the initial injury report, but now there is a chance he is held out against Detroit. His potential absence would likely result in his minutes being divided among Myles Turner, Kyle Kuzma and Jericho Sims, which doesn’t open the door for any streaming options.

Washington selected Riley with the 21st pick in June, but he hasn’t seen the floor much during his rookie season. However, he 26 minutes in Tuesday’s blowout loss, which led to him setting a new career high for scoring. Riley likely won’t hold standard-league value for much of this season, though there is a chance he makes a big impact during silly season. However, there is certainly some intrigue in dynasty leagues.

With Khris Middleton sidelined for the second night of Washington’s back-to-back, Champagnie was able to get the starting nod. In just 24 minutes, Champagnie was able to turn in a full stat line and was one of seven Wizards to score in double figures. Middleton should be back to take on Boston on Thursday, but Champagnie will be a decent streaming option if he gets the chance to start in the future.

Bagley started a second straight game with Alex Sarr (groin) sidelined once again. He wasn’t able to match his 22 points from Monday’s game, but he was able to match his career high of five blocks, which he initially set in his fourth NBA game in 2018. Bagley wasn’t the only player to benefit from Sarr’s absence; Tristan Vukcevic chipped in 16 points off the bench for a second straight game, which was enough to lead to the Wizards in scoring in this one. If Sarr remains out against the Celtics on Thursday, both Bagley and Vukcevic will have some streaming appeal.

With Kyshawn George being cleared to play, there’s just one change to the Wizards’ starting lineup. Khris Middleton (rest) is out and will be replaced in the starting lineup by Champagnie. Cam Whitmore should also get more time off the bench, but Champagnie’s ceiling is raised due to the opportunity to start.

George is good to go after initially being considered questionable. He’ll take on his usual role as the starting small forward. With the Wizards being down multiple wings, Cam Whitmore is still in line for a boost to his usage on Tuesday.

Harris was not available for Monday’s loss to the Wizards, resulting in a few more minutes for fellow reserve Gary Trent Jr. While Trent’s playing 31 minutes was encouraging, his production has not been consistent enough to make him a must-roster player in most fantasy leagues.

Due to left adductor strain injury management, Antetokounmpo is back on the Bucks’ injury report. The good news is that he’s considered probable, so he’s likely to play. If not, Kyle Kuzma will likely return to the starting lineup. In that spot, Kuzma would be worth rostering, even with the efficiency concerns.

KPJ dropped 30 points in Sunday’s loss to Washington, but he left midway through the fourth quarter with lower back spasms. The back issue may keep him sidelined, and if he is unavailable, Ryan Rollins would presumably soak up additional minutes.

Washington gritted out a tough win over Milwaukee on Sunday, and the Wizards may just be giving George a maintenance day for the second leg of a back-to-back set. Corey Kispert (thumb) is out indefinitely, Tre Johnson (hip) is out, and Khris Middleton is resting. That leaves Cam Whitmore as the man who could see a massive usage boost. Whitmore is worth streaming on Tuesday’s six-game slate.

McCollum hit a clutch triple to give Washington a four-point lead with 15 seconds left in this game to help the Wizards walk away victorious for the third time this year. It has come inconsistently, but McCollum has been much better offensively in recent weeks than he had been to start the year. He’ll look to carry this into the Wizards’ matchup with the 76ers on Tuesday.

Vukčević has been solid off the bench lately, and he was able to play a large reserve role once again in this game with Alexandre Sarr (groin) sidelined. Sarr will remain out on Tuesday against the 76ers, so Vukčević should see a bump in minutes once again. That likely isn’t enough for him to be worth streaming in standard leagues, but in deeper formats, there should be intrigue, as well as in dynasty leagues.

With Alexandre Sarr sidelined with a groin injury, Bagley was able to start for the second time this season. Sarr has already been ruled out for Tuesday’s game, so Bagley should be in line for another start. Currently rostered in just three percent of Yahoo! leagues, Bagley will be worth streaming if he’s able to repeat this level of production as a starter once again.

Antetokounmpo was still able to pour in the points, but after scoring 29 points in 19 minutes in Milwaukee’s last game, this one was underwhelming. He has scored at least 25 points in all three games since he returned from a four-game absence with a groin injury, and the only game this year in which he failed to score 20 points was the game that he exited after scoring 14 points in 13 minutes. Giannis will continue to dominate usage for Milwaukee, though up next is a tough matchup with Detroit.

KPJ made his return to the lineup on Saturday and was solid in that game after missing 19 games with a knee injury. However, he was a stud in this game before exiting with 6:37 left in the fourth due to lower back spasms. This shouldn’t be a lengthy absence for KPJ, but there is a chance he misses Wednesday’s game against the Pistons. Still, this was a phenomenal performance for him, and he has a chance to have a special season, as long as he remains healthy.

The Wizards will be without starting center Alex Sarr for at least the next two games, creating an opening in the lineup. Bagley will fill the void, making him a player worth considering in deeper fantasy leagues. While Tristan Vukčević may pick up additional minutes off the bench, he isn’t worth rostering in most leagues.

The veteran guard has been a consistent part of the Bucks’ rotation off the bench, though he’s currently averaging the fewest points and minutes per game of his career.

Sarr’s absence should mean increased run for Marvin Magley and Tristan Vukčević, though it’s unclear which backup big will get the starting nod. There’s no indication that Sarr’s injury is significant, and he may just be getting a maintenance day on the first leg of Washington’s back-to-back set. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his status ahead of Tuesday’s tilt with Philadelphia.

Rollins led the Bucks with 31 minutes played, but he wasn’t as productive as he has been in recent weeks. The return of Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) may have impacted Rollins’ production. This game isn’t the best data point due to the lopsided score, but this is a situation worth monitoring over the next few weeks. Rollins is clearly enjoying a breakout season and is going to be a productive player for a long time. But KPJ could impact Rollins’ usage in the short term. Hopefully that trend won’t continue, and he’ll get back on track on Monday against the Wizards.

Antetokounmpo only played 19 minutes due to the lopsided score, but that was more than enough time for him to pour in the points. Typically, Giannis will be even more dominant than he was in this game, but he was still able to make a huge impact in limited action. Up next is another matchup with a team at the bottom of the standings, with a trip to Washington on Monday. Hopefully that game will be closer so Giannis can surpass 20 minutes.

KPJ injured his knee in the season opener and has been sidelined since. In his first game back, he immediately returned to the starting lineup. He logged 25 minutes, but that may not have been because of a minutes restriction since the game was lopsided until garbage time. KPJ is available in 64 percent of Yahoo! leagues, but if his first game back is any indicator, he is worth adding off the waiver wire.

Porter is back, with Saturday’s game being his first since late October. He’ll start with Gary Trent Jr. being bumped to the bench. That’s good news for those who have Ryan Rollins, especially if this is the lineup that Doc Rivers decides to stick with moving forward. Giannis is also good to go after logging 28 minutes in his first game back from a strained groin on Friday. Look for him to be under a similar minutes limit against the Nets.

Sidelined since late October, Porter is ready to make his return to the court. While the Bucks have not divulged an official minutes limit, fantasy managers should not expect to see Porter take on a full workload in his first game back. Something to watch as KPJ shakes off the rust is how his return impacts Ryan Rollins’ playing time. Rollins has been excellent so far, but Porter’s return gives the Bucks another playmaker to call on.

Porter has been out since late October after undergoing a minor procedure on his right knee. The 25-year-old is listed as questionable, which at least gives him a chance of suiting up against the Nets on Saturday. Ryan Rollins has been excellent in Porter’s absence and should hold on to his starting job even when Porter returns.

Kuzma’s return to the bench did not affect his production negatively on Friday. He made his first seven attempts from the field, and the 20 points were the most he’s scored in a game since November 14 (season-high 29 vs. Charlotte). Fantasy managers who were eager to drop Kuzma will want to hold off on that, especially with the Bucks hosting the Nets on Saturday. If Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin) gets the night off, Kuzma will be back with the starters in what should be an advantageous matchup for him.

While Green’s production has not made him much more than a specialist within fantasy basketball, he continues to hold down his place within the Bucks’ starting lineup. He hit six more three-pointers on Friday, establishing a new season-high. Green finished a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line, and he has provided top-100 value over the past week. Still, he remains a player who’s only worth a look from managers seeking three-point production.

Antetokounmpo was back in the lineup after a four-game absence. While Bucks head coach Doc Rivers said before the game that the former MVP would be under a minutes restriction, he did not divulge a specific number. Giannis played 28 minutes and looked sharp when on the floor. Kyle Kuzma returned to the bench but was still productive, scoring 20 points. With Milwaukee facing the Nets on Saturday, they may give Giannis the night off for injury management reasons.

Sarr was the lone bright spot for Washington in what was a poor encore to their big win over the Hawks on Tuesday. Sarr has been fantastic in his second year in the NBA, though continued poor free throw numbers have limited his overall value in category formats. However, his leap in field goal percentage, combined with improvement in nearly every other category, has led to him providing top-50 value so far this season. This was his second-straight game with at least 20 points and four stocks, and he’ll look to stay hot against the Bucks on Monday.

Kispert fractured the tip of his right thumb during the third quarter of Tuesday’s victory. According to the team, the injury will be treated “conservatively,” so fantasy managers should consider him to be out indefinitely. Despite his hot shooting against the Hawks, Kispert has not been much of an asset in most fantasy leagues. With Tre Johnson and Kyshawn George out, there will be more minutes available to Cam Whitmore. He isn’t a must-add currently, but deep-league managers should keep an eye on Whitmore.

The sharpshooting guard was productive from beyond the arc, as usual, against Miami. However, his playmaking was the bigger story on Wednesday. Green posted a season-high in assists and came within two assists of his first double-double of the season. There aren’t many reasons to believe Green can sustain this level of playmaking over the long term. He likely isn’t worth a roster spot in fantasy leagues.

Turner had one of his more productive games in quite some time on Wednesday. Accurate shooting inside the arc helped the veteran center set a new season-high in points, and also log his third 20-point outing of the season. Poor shooting from beyond the arc and a few misses from the charity stripe prevented him from producing more. Still, Turner did his part and nearly notched a double-double in the loss.

Rollins bounced back from an inefficient 10-point, 4-of-14 shooting performance against the Trail Blazers. He made four triples alone against the Heat and tied a season-high in rebounds along the way.

The Bucks are without Giannis Antetokounmpo for a fourth straight game, as he continues to recover from a strained groin.

Middleton didn’t do much scoring on Tuesday, but he was productive in other areas. The 12 assists matched his career high, and he was also responsible for seven rebounds, the most in a game for the veteran forward since October 28. Middleton’s slow start and the Wizards’ prioritization of youth in their rebuild are why he isn’t providing top-200 fantasy value, but he’s worth the risk on a light game night like Tuesday.

Sarr recorded his sixth double-double of the season, with Tuesday’s being the third in which he’s scored at least 20 points. The second-year center has improved significantly after struggling for most of his rookie campaign, doing a better job of handling the NBA’s physicality. Sarr is providing top-40 per-game value in nine-cat formats and has shown no signs of slowing down. Even with the Wizards rebuilding, a late-season shutdown isn’t a concern for Sarr due to his youth.

The Wizards picked up their first NBA Cup victory in three seasons of the event, and they’ve got the tandem of McCollum and Corey Kispert to thank for that. While the latter had the best quarter of his NBA career, scoring 16 points in the first, McCollum was rolling all night. He scored 27 in the first half, and the final point total was four shy of his career-high. While his season-long fantasy value hasn’t been the best, McCollum has been a top-50 player in nine-cat formats over the past week.

Rollins had to deal with Portland’s Toumani Camara for most of Monday’s game, and the impact on his output was unsurprisingly negative. Monday’s game was just the fourth this season in which the fourth-year guard scored 10 points or less, so there isn’t too much to be worried about. A late-round option in drafts before the season began, Rollins has been a fourth-round player in nine-cat formats, representing one of the best values in fantasy basketball. He’ll look to bounce back when the Bucks face the Heat on Wednesday.

In the three games since Milwaukee lost Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin) during a November 17 loss to the Cavaliers, Portis has scored 19, 18 and 22 points. After starting the first two games, Portis was back on the bench Monday night, but that didn’t prevent him from recording his first 20-point game of the season.

Turner recorded his second double-double in three games on Monday, but the production since Milwaukee lost Giannis Antetokounmpo to a strained groin has been underwhelming. Over the last three games, the Bucks’ center has averaged 12.3 points on 39.4 percent shooting from the field. The good news is that the rebounds, blocks and three-pointers have been there, but a more accurate Turner would be more valuable to fantasy managers. The good news is that Milwaukee plays three more games during Week 6, starting with the Heat on Wednesday.
