After missing Thursday’s loss to the Raptors, Kuzma was moved into the starting lineup, with Gary Trent Jr. dropping to the bench. He only recorded six official field-goal attempts, but Kuzma recorded his second double-double of the season. The inconsistency makes him a challenging player to rely on in standard fantasy leagues, but Kuzma is worth a shot in deeper leagues if he remains in the starting lineup. Trent once again struggled with his shot on Sunday, scoring six points on 2-of-11 shooting.

Kuzma will be available after sitting out Thursday’s loss to the Raptors. His absence coincided with the return of starter AJ Green, who missed three games with a shoulder injury. Kuzma may come off the bench on Sunday, but he has a slightly higher fantasy ceiling due to Giannis Antetokounmpo’s absence.

Initially questionable for Thursday’s game, Kuzma is officially out. How impactful his absence is depends on AJ Green’s (shoulder) availability, who remains questionable. If Green can play, he’ll slide back into his spot in the Bucks’ starting lineup.

Kuzma has started Milwaukee’s last three games, as AJ Green was unavailable due to a shoulder injury. If both can play against the Raptors, Kuzma will be headed to the bench. Gary Trent Jr. and Gary Harris would have more opportunities to produce if Kuzma or Green sits.

Kuzma started, played 31 minutes and led the Bucks to victory with 31 points while Giannis Antetokoumnpo and AJ Green were sidelined. This was the best case scenario for fantasy managers that used the 30-year-old power forward as a deep league streamer. Kuzma will only return to a reserve role Sunday against the Nets if his teammates are off the injury report.

With AJ Green (shoulder) joining Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) on the sidelines, Kuzma was tabbed to move into the starting lineup. While he wasn’t great, things could have been worse for those familiar with the forward’s recent fantasy history. Kuzma’s final stat line only lacked a block, and he shot just under 50 percent from the field. With Green likely missing multiple games, Kuzma will have some value in deep leagues despite the track record.

Already without Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Bucks won’t have AJ Green for Saturday’s game, either. His absence means Kuzma moves into the starting lineup, raising his fantasy ceiling.

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.

Added to the Bucks’ injury report Saturday morning, Kuzma is officially good to go. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin) unavailable, he’s worth a roll of the dice in 12-team leagues due to Milwaukee’s lack of proven scorers.

Kuzma popped up on the injury report Saturday morning as questionable with an illness. The 30-year-old power forward still has the entire afternoon to recover from his illness, though it’s unclear what illness Kuzma is dealing with. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin) out, the Bucks are counting on Kuzma to play an increased role if he’s available.

While Kuzma hasn’t been the most reliable option for fantasy managers, Giannis Antetokounmpo’s absence with a low-grade groin strain makes him worth a longer look. The Bucks forward provided solid value on Thursday in the first game that Milwaukee has played since Giannis’ injury. However, some fantasy managers will hope for more rebounding production from Kuzma. Unfortunately, the Bucks end Week 5 with a challenging matchup, as they’ll host the red-hot Pistons on Saturday.

Yikes. Kuzma turned in a complete clunker against his former team following an impressive 29-point, 10-rebound effort during Friday’s win over the Hornets where he made his first start since October 30. The 30-year-old forward, who spent the first four seasons of his career with the Lakers, missed all six of his shots from the floor with five of those coming from three-point range. He’ll attempt to turn things around when the Bucks get back in action on Monday against the Cavaliers.

Kuzma remained in the starting lineup while Giannis Antetokounmpo returned from a knee injury. While it’s unclear if Kuzma will remain in the starting lineup going forward, it certainly worked against the Hornets on Friday. Kuzma’s 29 points were the most he’s had this season and the second time he’s had at least 26 points in his last three games. Fantasy managers may want to ride the hot hand with Kuzma here. The Bucks have a date with the Lakers on Saturday, and that’s a revenge game for Kuzma.

Kuzma started the Bucks’ last game on Wednesday with Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) sidelined. However, with Giannis back, Kuzma will remain in the starting lineup. Gary Trent Jr. will come off the bench, though it’s not clear if this is a permanent change.

Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is out for Wednesday’s game, opening up a massive void in the Bucks’ starting lineup. Kuzma will step into the role, and this matchup could be one where he can provide additional value. Even on a 12-game night, it wouldn’t hurt to roll the dice on Kuzma.

Kuzma came off the bench and played 32 minutes against the Mavericks on Monday. The 30-year-old small forward is seeing additional minutes with Taurean Prince (neck) out for the foreseeable future. Kuzma was the main support for Giannis Antetokounmpo offensively against the Mavericks and that’s a role he could occupy more despite averaging 12.4 points per game so far.

Kuzma did most of his damage in the second half with Milwaukee trailing by a couple touchdowns. However, fantasy managers certainly won’t mind as he reached double digits off the bench for the fourth consecutive contest. The Bucks have a couple days off to regroup before facing the Bulls at home on Friday evening.

After scoring 22 points off the bench in the Bucks’ last game, Kuzma was able to have another decent performance against Indiana. The discouraging part is that he only played 16 minutes. Kuzma struggled during the second half of last season after being sent to the Bucks, though he was part of the starting lineup. Now, he’s come off the bench in almost every game this season. He’s playing better, but if he isn’t getting the opportunity, his upside is limited.

While Kuzma is shooting 55 percent from the field this season, his limited rebounding and defensive production lower his fantasy ceiling considerably. However, he can come through with the occasional big scoring night, which happened on Saturday. Spanning the third and fourth quarters, Kuzma went on a run in which he scored 16 straight Bucks points. However, he didn’t provide much beyond the points and percentages, remaining a player only worthy of a look in deep leagues.

Kuzma was tabbed to replace Giannis Antetokounmpo in the Bucks’ starting lineup on Thursday, and he provided solid value in rebounds and assists. Unfortunately, Kuzma didn’t score much, but that had more to do with Ryan Rollins’ explosion than the forward struggling. With the Bucks returning to action on Saturday against the Kings, Giannis could be back on the floor. If so, there won’t be much of a need to hold onto Kuzma in most leagues.

The Bucks are without Giannis Antetokounmpo for Thursday’s game, as he is dealing with a sore knee. Kuzma, who struggled as a starter last season after being acquired at the February trade deadline, will fill the resulting void. While the opportunity raises his fantasy ceiling, Kuzma can be inefficient when given a high-usage role.

Kuz will return to the court following a one-game absence, which means Bobby Portis and Taurean Prince should see reduced roles against New York.

Kuzma missed Sunday’s game after an early exit from Friday’s win over the Raptors. If he remains out, Bobby Portis and Taurean Prince will take on larger reserve roles. Prince played 31 minutes to Portis’ 23 on Sunday.

A few hours after his status was downgraded to doubtful, Kuzma is officially out for Sunday’s game. More will be required of fellow reserves, most notably Bobby Portis and Taurean Prince, with the former being the superior option in fantasy leagues.

Initially questionable for Sunday’s game with a sprained left ankle, Kuzma’s status has been downgraded. His likely absence should result in more minutes for fellow reserves Bobby Portis and Taurean Prince. While Portis is the superior option for fantasy managers, Prince can be helpful for those needing three-pointers and steals.

If Kuzma ends up missing more than just the end of this game against Toronto, Bobby Portis and Taurean Prince will take on a few extra minutes to make up for Kuzma’s absence, with Portis being the better streaming option.

Kuzma came off the bench Wednesday night, and that role may suit him better than being with the starters. The veteran forward finished the 133-120 victory with a solid stat line, shooting 50 percent from the field. Kuzma missed both of his three-point attempts, but the overall efficiency was there. AJ Green (11/2/1 with three three-pointers) played 27 minutes, and his superior shooting will likely keep him in the starting lineup. However, that may not be bad for Kuzma, who hasn’t provided much fantasy value in recent years.

Kuzma’s historically poor Game 1 performance made plenty of rounds on social media over the last few days, but he was more productive in Game 2. He still wasn’t great, but after getting 22 minutes of cardio in Game 1’s 19-point loss, Kuzma was able to chip in some stats on Tuesday. Way to go Kuz! With the series shifting to Milwaukee for Game 3 on Friday, Kuzma will look to be the player that the Bucks were hoping he’d be when they traded for him at the deadline. The last time he played a game in Milwaukee was the regular season finale; he had 22 points in the first quarter before being shut down for the remainder of that game. We’ll see if he can tap back into that shooting prowess.
