While Portis remains out for an 11th consecutive game, Kuzma played 21 minutes off the bench in Friday’s win over the Nets. Taurean Prince and Ousmane Dieng will have added importance within the Bucks’ rotation, and there may be more minutes available to Andre Jackson Jr. off the bench.

Kuzma is back after a two-game absence, and his return is likely to push Taurean Prince to the bench. Prince should still play quality minutes, but he offers a lower ceiling in active fantasy leagues when used in a reserve role.

Kuzma will be sidelined, which will open up a spot in the starting unit. Taurean Prince and Cormac Ryan should take on larger roles, with one of them sliding into the starting lineup.

After missing Wednesday’s game against the Rockets, Kuzma will be back on the floor Friday. He’ll look to duplicate the success he had in his previous return to the floor, earlier in the week against the Mavericks, where he scored 20 points and collected three steals. The veteran forward has the potential to be one of the Bucks’ most productive fantasy performers against the Celtics.

Kuzma returned from a four-game absence on Tuesday, but he will sit out the second leg of this back-to-back. Pete Nance should make a return to the starting unit in his place.

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.

As expected, Kuzma will be back following a four-game absence. Pete Nance, who started the last three games for Milwaukee, should head back to playing a reserve role with Kuzma available.

After missing Milwaukee’s last four games, Kuzma could return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Mavericks. If so, he’ll provide the Bucks with floor spacing, scoring, and rebounding from the forward position. He’s averaging 13.1 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game this season.

Kuzma has now missed Milwaukee’s last four games with right Achilles tendinopathy. Pete Nance has started the last two games, offering limited production in Saturday’s loss to the Spurs. He’ll likely get another opportunity to start against the Clippers, but there’s no need to stream Nance.

Kuzma has missed the Bucks’ last three games with right Achilles tendinopathy. Pete Nance has started the last two games, most recently accounting for five points, five rebounds, three assists and one three-pointer in Saturday’s loss to the Spurs. He is not worth the streaming risk if Kuzma remains out.

Kuzma will remain sidelined for a third consecutive game, which will likely mean another start for AJ Green. Taurean Prince may see his opportunities increase, whether he continues to come off the bench or receives a spot start for defensive reasons.

Kuzma has missed Milwaukee’s last two games with right Achilles tendinopathy. He was considered questionable ahead of Wednesday’s loss to the Trail Blazers, with AJ Green starting in his place. Green or Taurean Prince will receive the nod if Kuzma remains out.

Kuzma is set to miss his second game in a row with an Achilles injury. Jericho Sims will start in his place again. Sims had four points in 19 minutes in Monday’s loss to the Clippers, but could see more usage with Myles Turner (calf) and Bobby Portis out as well.

Kuzma miss Monday’s game and could remain sidelined against Portland. Jericho Sims started in his place in a tall starting unit, though he didn’t contribute much in an increased role. Sims will likely head back to the bench if Kuzma returns.

As the Bucks try to put together back-to-back wins for the first time in nearly one month, they’ll have to do so without one of their best scorers. Kuzma, who is averaging 13.1 points over 65 games, will miss Monday’s game after scoring 20 points in the most recent win over Phoenix. As he sits on Monday, Pete Nance could see more minutes; he’s seen an uptick in minutes over the past three games.

Kuzma had to leave Saturday’s win over the Suns during the third quarter after experiencing tightness in his right Achilles tendon. If he can’t play on Monday, Ousmane Dieng may be in line to receive the most significant boost to his fantasy value. As for Harris, he is on track to play, but his availability does not affect fantasy basketball.

Due to tightness in his right Achilles tendon, Kuzma exited Saturday’s game with just over five minutes remaining in the third quarter. That was an unfortunate event for him and fantasy basketball, as the Bucks’ forward was playing well at the time. Kuzma didn’t offer much beyond points and three-pointers, but he has a slightly higher ceiling in points leagues while the Bucks are without Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Bucks play four games in Week 22, starting with the Clippers on Monday.

Kuzma is dealing with a right elbow contusion, but he’s on track to play based on the probable tag. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) out, there’s more room for Kuzma, among others, to do more offensively.

Before Tuesday, it had been just over a month since Kuzma last surpassed 20 points in a game, much less 30. He dropped his third 30-point game of the season on Tuesday, with the 33 points being a season-high. The numbers in the categories outside of points and three pointers were a bit limited, but Kuzma still managed to record a complete stat line. The Bucks play three more games in Week 20, starting with the Heat on Thursday.

Antetokounmpo and Kumza are back after sitting out Sunday’s loss to the Magic. While AJ Green heads to the bench after returning to the starting lineup the last time out, Jericho Sims is not available due to a knee injury.

Kuzma will not be available for Sunday’s game, joining Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) on the sidelines. Bobby Portis and Jericho Sims will have added importance, with one likely moving into the starting lineup.

Kuzma, who returned to the starting lineup for Saturday’s win over the Jazz, played 29 minutes. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) already out, the Bucks could look to Jericho Sims to fill the void if Kuzma can’t play. While offensive production is limited, Sims’ rebounding is even more important given Myles Turner’s struggles in that area.

Kuzma was inserted into the starting lineup on Saturday, a few days after head coach Doc Rivers made it clear that he believed the unit needed more size. While Kuzma shot the ball relatively well against the Jazz, he did not offer much as a rebounder. Neither did Myles Turner (eight points, three rebounds, two blocks and one three-pointer), whose struggles on the glass factored into his playing 18 minutes. AJ Green, who Kuzma replaced in the starting lineup, finished with seven points, one rebound, one assist and two three-pointers in 21 minutes.

Kuzma has scored at least 17 points in three consecutive games, with Friday’s being the first in which he shot over 50 percent from the field. While he remains an uninspiring option for managers in category leagues, Kuzma is worth a look in points leagues as long as the Bucks are without Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Bucks play their final game of Week 18 on Sunday against the Bulls, who have lost 11 straight. That could be a good matchup for Kuzma.

Kuzma got off to a good start on Tuesday, shooting 4-of-7 from the field. Unfortunately for those who have him rostered, the Bucks’ forward cooled off after halftime, and there was also a trip to the locker room with an unspecified injury. Kuzma played 25 minutes, with Bobby Portis scoring 21 points and Ousmane Dieng (11/6/1/2 with three three-pointers) having a good night off the bench. Kuzma’s fantasy value hasn’t been great, but his status as a starter makes him a player worth holding onto in deep leagues.

Kuzma returned from a calf injury earlier this week, only to find himself back on the injury report with a foot injury. Initially listed as questionable for Thursday’s game against the Thunder, Kuzma was ruled in. He had 15 points, seven rebounds and two assists in Wednesday’s win over the Magic.

Kuz is back on the injury report, but this time, it’s for a foot issue. If he’s unable to take the court for the Bucks’ final game before the All-Star break, Ousmane Dieng should see a bump in playing time.

Kuzma did not play in Friday’s win over the Pacers due to a sore left calf. Jericho Sims is the player most likely to head to the bench, and that would not have a significant effect on fantasy basketball.

Kuzma is dealing with left calf soreness, and it will cost him at least one game. Bobby Portis (hip) is questionable, and if he’s able to take the court, he should replace Kuz in the starting lineup. If Portis ends up sitting out, Pete Nance could join the first unit, and new addition Ousmane Dieng could see some run as well.
