Rollins picked up the slack from an offensive standpoint in the second half following superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo’s exit in the late stages of the second quarter with a left groin strain. However, Milwaukee was unable to avoid their third loss in their last four games. He shot 50 percent from downtown, hitting five of 10 treys and hoisted a team-leading 22 shots in this one. We’re anticipating he’ll get a couple additional looks per-game if Giannis winds up missing time. The Bucks have a couple days off to regroup before facing off against the 76ers on Thursday evening.

Rollins continues to be a consistent scoring presence for the Bucks. The 23-year-old shooting guard had 20 points on 12 shots and went 4-of-6 from behind the three-point line against the Hornets on Friday. Rollins is too productive in his role to still be available in most Yahoo! leagues.

Rollins continues to flourish for the Bucks, finishing Wednesday’s defeat with his third 20-point game of the season. With no Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) on the floor, the Bucks’ point guard attempted 15 shots, the most in a game for Rollins since October 30. Even better for fantasy managers is that the increased shot usage did not negatively impact Rollins’ efficiency, as he shot 66.7 percent from the field and committed just two turnovers. He’s still rostered in 49 percent of Yahoo! leagues, which is too low given Rollins’ role and his production.

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. Rollins is rostered in just 47 percent of Yahoo! leagues, which is too low, considering the production and Kevin Porter Jr.'s continued absence with a knee injury.

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.

Having recorded career-high point totals in his last two games, Rollins was bound to cool down eventually. However, he still shot over 50 percent from the field on Saturday and recorded eight assists, matching his season high. Rollins is a virtual lock to remain in the starting lineup as long as Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) is out, and the job may be his even after KPJ returns. He’s played that well, and Porter will be out for at least another four weeks.

Already without Kevin Porter Jr., the Bucks were forced to play Thursday’s game without Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee). Rollins understood the assignment and had the best night of his NBA career. The 2022 second-round pick, who began his NBA career with the Warriors, notched his first 30-point game and did so efficiently. Rostered in 29 percent of Yahoo! leagues, removing Rollins from the starting lineup will be difficult once Porter is healthy enough to play. Rollins is a must-roster player, even with the Bucks only playing once more this week.

Rollins was sensational against the Knicks, making another start for the injured Kevin Porter Jr. He scored 13 points in the first half, a career-high for points in a half, and nearly matched that number after halftime. Rollins has three 20-point games in his career, with two coming against the Knicks. And based on Bucks head coach Doc Rivers’ comments about the injured Kevin Porter Jr. before Tuesday’s game, the starting point guard job may belong to Rollins for a bit longer. “He’s still out. He’s going to be out for a bit still,” Rivers said. “I mean, obviously, he’s key for us, one of our big keys. We’re not going to rush him because we don’t want this thing to become chronic. It was a bad turn and so we’re just gonna be patient.” Rollins is rostered in just 18 percent of Yahoo! leagues; pick him up if he’s available.

While Rollins did score 13 points in Friday’s win over the Raptors, he finished with more turnovers (three) than assists (two). Making a second consecutive start in place of the injured Kevin Porter Jr. (ankle), Rollins was much better on Sunday despite the Bucks losing in Cleveland. Only Giannis Antetokounmpo had more assists than Rollins’ eight, and he only committed two turnovers. Rostered in nine percent of Yahoo! leagues, Rollins is worth a look ahead of Milwaukee’s three-game week if Porter remains sidelined.

Rollins finished with a 9/4/3/3 line in 29 minutes in the season opener, but he could be in line for a heftier workload due to Kevin Porter Jr.'s absence. Rollins is widely available in fantasy leagues of nearly every size, making him a strong waiver wire add heading into the weekend. Milwaukee will face Cleveland on Sunday to close out the week.

With Kevin Porter Jr. exiting Wednesday’s game during the second quarter with a sprained left ankle, Rollins was inserted into the lineup to begin the second half. He played 29 minutes, and while the field-goal percentage wasn’t good, Rollins provided solid value in rebounds, assists and steals. Following the game, Bucks head coach Doc Rivers said Porter’s ankle sprain didn’t look good and he’ll undergo an MRI on Thursday. It’s conceivable that Rollins finishes the week in the Bucks’ starting lineup, making him a worthwhile streamer.

After earning a rest-of-season contract with the Bucks last season, Rollins has re-signed with the team on a three-year deal. The final season of the contract is a player option, which is a win for the former second-round pick. In 56 games, Rollins averaged 6.2 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 0.9 three-pointers in 14.6 minutes. He made 19 starts for the Bucks last season, and there’s a chance Rollins gets a shot at competing for a starting job this fall. Milwaukee waived Damian Lillard, and while Kevin Porter Jr. re-signed with the team, he may not be a lock to start. Rollins may not be a must-draft player in most fantasy leagues, but that could change with a good preseason.

Rollins has started six of Milwaukee’s last seven games, and the last few have been productive for him. Two games after he set a career-high with 20 points, Rollins set another career-high. Over the past two weeks, Rollins has averaged 12.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, four assists, 1.1 steals and 2.1 triples per game. That has him producing top-100 value in nine-cat leagues during that stretch, and with Damian Lillard out indefinitely, Rollins should be a quality option for the rest of the season.

The return of Giannis Antetokounmpo also resulted in Rollins moving back into the starting lineup on Friday. The performance was arguably his best as a pro, with the third-year guard scoring a career-high 20 points. Rollins, who shot 66.7 percent from the field, provided solid value in the rebound, assist and three-point categories. He isn’t a great streaming option, but Rollins has a more straightforward path to consistent value with Damian Lillard (calf) out of the lineup. Gary Trent Jr. (14 points, one rebound and four three-pointers) is a safer streaming option despite coming off the bench.

The big news for the Bucks is that Gainnis is back and will be in the starting lineup. However, there are two changes to the starting five, as Rollins will also start. As a result, Kevin Porter Jr. and Gary Trent Jr. will return to the bench. However, both still have streaming value as Damian Lillard (calf) remains out.

With Damian Lillard (calf) sidelined, Rollins got the starting nod at point guard for Milwaukee. He didn’t have an efficient shooting night across his 29 minutes, but he was still able to contribute value in other categories. Rollins has been the starter most of the time that Lillard has been sidelined, but that hasn’t happened often. It may not have happened on Thursday if the Lakers had their normal rotation available. Rollins is only worth considering as a streaming option when Lillard isn’t available.

Damian Lillard (calf) will miss a game for the first time in almost a month, which will open the door for Rollins to enter the starting lineup. Rollins contributed 15 points, four rebounds, four assists, three steals, one block and two three-pointers in his most recent start.

Rollins is back with the team after missing Wednesday’s win over the Mavericks for personal reasons. His addition to the lineup gives the Bucks another option on the wings, but the third-year guard is unlikely to impact fantasy basketball.

Rollins will miss Wednesday’s game for personal reasons, and a return timeline is unknown. His absence frees up additional minutes for Kevin Porter Jr. and AJ Green, who are already in the Bucks’ rotation.

A little over one year since he agreed to a two-way contract with the Bucks, Rollins has been rewarded with a standard contract. The 2022 second-round pick has appeared in 39 games (eight starts) this season, averaging 4.9 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 12.5 minutes. This move won’t impact fantasy basketball, but it does ensure that Rollins will be eligible for the postseason. The Bucks signed point guard Jamaree Bouyea to a two-way contract in a corresponding move.
