Green injured his shoulder in Friday’s game against the 76ers and didn’t return. The 26-year-old shooting guard will be replaced in the lineup by Kyle Kuzma if he’s ruled out against the Pistons on Saturday.

Rollins put together a nice two-way performance, despite the loss to Philadelphia on Friday. He was efficient from beyond the arc and was one of the Bucks’ more reliable playmakers as well. The fourth-year guard has remained productive with Kevin Porter Jr. back from injury — the two are co-existing nicely in the starting backcourt so far, which should be a relief for those fantasy managers who had their doubts.

Porter Jr remained productive in his fourth game back from his early-season knee injury. While he didn’t score as well as the previous two outings, he utilized the charity stripe to make his way to 20 points for the third straight game, while tallying his most productive numbers as a rebounder and facilitator since returning. The sample size has been small this season for Porter, but he’s put up good fantasy numbers more times than he hasn’t. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) out of the lineup, Porter Jr. will have even more freedom to create on the offensive end.

Portis was one of Milwaukee’s most productive players on Friday. In 23 minutes, he led the team in scoring and made three-pointers, and was one of five Bucks players to score in double figures. The veteran forward didn’t make many contributions elsewhere, however — he didn’t record an assist, had minimal impact on the glass, and finished with one stock on the defensive end. Portis has had one of his least productive seasons in quite some time, from a statistical standpoint, but with the Bucks down Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf), he should have opportunities to pick up his production.

Green shot 0-for-4 in the first half in 14 minutes and may not be available to close out this game. Gary Harris or Gary Trent Jr. will likely start the second half in his place, though both should see extra minutes.

Sims started the second half on Wednesday after Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) exited early. Sims finished with 15 points and 14 rebounds in 30 minutes, and he’ll have an opportunity to post another double-double in this one. If he plays well and continues to start, he could be a reliable streaming option until Giannis returns in two-to-four weeks.

Giannis went down just three minutes into Wednesday night’s game, and the Bucks were fortunate enough to quickly rule out an Achilles injury. However, it turns out that the calf injury could keep him on the shelf for an extended period of time anyway. With reports coming out that Giannis has also asked the Bucks for a trade, we’d expect the team and player to both be cautious with his return, which will likely keep him out until the beginning or middle of January. In the meantime, Bobby Portis Jr. figures to see an uptick in minutes, and both Kevin Porter Jr. and Kyle Kuzma will be leaned on for higher usage. Giannis’ recovery timeline could be additionally interesting because players who signed offseason extensions, like Knicks wing Mikal Bridges, aren’t eligible to be traded until February. With Giannis sidelined for a few weeks, that could open up new trade possibilities for the Bucks, if they choose to move their star.

When a player goes down with a non-contact lower leg injury, as Giannis did on Wednesday, it doesn’t take much effort to fear the worst. The Bucks announced during Wednesday’s game that the superstar forward had been diagnosed with a strained right calf. During his postgame availability, Rivers said doctors had ruled out an Achilles injury. That’s great news for Milwaukee, but the next step will be to determine the severity of the injury. Jericho Sims started the third quarter and finished with 15 points, 14 rebounds and one assist in 30 minutes. However, while that was an excellent performance for him, Bobby Portis (13/9/5 with two three-pointers in 30 minutes) and Kyle Kuzma (4/4/3/1/2 in 21 minutes) are more reliable alternatives if Giannis is out for an extended period.

While Kevin Porter Jr. was out of the lineup, Rollins showed he was a reliable player as he moved into the starting lineup. That’s why Doc Rivers appears to be sticking with Rollins in the starting lineup even now that Porter is back. Rollins had 22 points in the win over the Pistons on Wednesday and has provided third-round fantasy value so far this season.

Porter was coming off a 30-point game in Monday’s loss to the Wizards, but saw an uptick in usage on Wednesday due to Giannis Antetokounmpo leaving with an injury three minutes into the game. Porter’s in line to be an impact fantasy player for the rest of the season if he can just stay healthy.

Antetokounmpo left Wednesday’s game after suffering a non-contact leg injury during the first quarter. The Bucks have since ruled him out with a strained right calf, which will likely mean an extended absence, with the timespan depending on the severity of the injury. Bobby Portis will have added value if Antetokounmpo is out for an extended period, as will Kyle Kuzma.

Harris missed Monday’s game against the Wizards with an Achilles injury. The 31-year-old shooting guard is available against the Pistons Wednesday, but isn’t likely to play significant minutes.

Porter is available after initially being listed as questionable with a back injury. The 25-year-old point guard had 30 points against the Wizards on Sunday, but left the game early with back spasms. It’s a good sign for fantasy managers that Porter’s injury wasn’t more serious as it looks like he’s running with the starting point guard job for the Bucks again.

Initially questionable for Wednesday’s game, Portis has officially been cleared to play. He’ll provide depth off the bench, but that has not been a great place to be for him this season in terms of fantasy value. There’s no issue with holding onto Portis in deep leagues, but fantasy managers should keep their expectations in check.

No surprise here as Antetokounmpo was initially listed as probable with left adductor injury management. The 30-year-old power forward will start for the Bucks on Wednesday night amid reports that he might be considering leaving Milwaukee in the future. The Greek Freak has a difficult matchup against the tough Pistons defense Wednesday.

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.

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.

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.

GTJ will be available after initially being listed as probable. He’ll continue to play a significant reserve role, where he has been an inconsistent scoring option for the Bucks this year.

Giannis was initially listed as probable, and now he has officially been cleared to suit up. He had 29 points in 19 minutes on Saturday and will hopefully spend more time on the floor for this game in order to stuff the stat sheet, as he typically does.

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. In his absence, Amir Coffey could be the recipient of a boost in minutes, while Gary Trent Jr. may see even more opportunities than usual.

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.
