Porter did not play in Sunday’s win over the Pacers, which was Milwaukee’s second game in as many days. Who his return bumps from the starting lineup depends on the availability of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Ousmane Dieng, both of whom are questionable. If everyone is healthy, AJ Green and Ryan Rollins are likely headed to the bench.

Turner, who was initially questionable for Sunday’s win over the Pacers with a knee injury, is now dealing with a strained right calf. If he’s unable to play on Tuesday, Bobby Portis and Jericho Sims are potential replacements in the starting lineup.

Dieng has missed the last two games due to illness. AJ Green was the fifth starter for Sunday’s win over the Pacers, scoring 12 points on 4-of-7 shooting from beyond the arc. He’s only worth a look in leagues where managers have a serious need for three-point production.

Antetokounmpo was injured during Sunday’s win over the Pacers, and he likely dodged a bullet, as there were initial concerns about a knee injury. The Bucks’ star has been diagnosed with a sprained left ankle. If Antetokounmpo can’t play on Tuesday, Jericho Sims could return to the starting lineup.

With Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) out Sunday, Rollins stepped into the starting lineup and managed 36 minutes of action. The 23-year-old point guard is an important player for the Bucks anyway, but his fantasy ceiling is raised when he’s inserted into the starting lineup. Rollins has provided fourth-round per game value over the last two weeks.

Portis and Giannis Antetokounmpo carried the Bucks’ offense in this one as the duo combined for 60 points in the win over the Pacers on Sunday. Even with Antetokounmpo active, Portis saw massive usage in this game. He’s provided sixth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Bucks have three games upcoming in Week 21, starting with a matchup against the Cavaliers on Tuesday.

Antetokounmpo returned from a one-game absence and went right back to providing first-round value. The 31-year-old power forward briefly headed to the locker room in the second half for a leg issue, but returned to the bench and said after the game he felt he could’ve returned to the game. The Bucks have three games upcoming in Week 21, starting with a matchup against the Cavaliers on Tuesday.

Antetokounmpo is available after sitting out Saturday’s loss to the Hawks. His return will likely push Jericho Sims, who was ineffective as a spot starter in Atlanta, to the bench.

Dieng’s illness will sideline him for a second straight game. Jericho Sims started Saturday’s loss to the Hawks, but the Bucks were also without Giannis Antetokounmpo. With Giannis available, Sims is likely headed to the bench.

Portis has been dealing with a back strain for a bit, but he has only missed one game. The veteran forward most recently logged 27 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Hawks. With Myles Turner (knee) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) also on the injury report, the Bucks could be severely shorthanded on Sunday, with no great streaming options in the frontcourt.

Turner, who logged 24 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Hawks, is on the injury report due to right patellar tendinitis. Jericho Sims, who offered little value in a spot start on Saturday, could once again take on a more prominent role within the rotation if Turner sits. Also, Pete Nance’s playing time could increase out of necessity.

Due to an illness that forced an early exit from Thursday’s loss to the Heat, Dieng was held out of Saturday’s loss to the Hawks. Jericho Sims was inserted into the starting lineup but offered minimal value, finishing with more turnovers (four) than rebounds (two). While Sims could get another start if Dieng remains out, there’s no need to stream him.

Giannis did not play in Saturday’s loss to the Hawks, with his absence factoring into Ryan Rollins’ move into the starting lineup. With Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) ruled out, the former league MVP can fill that void if allowed to play, which leaves Rollins in the starting five.

Porter, who recently missed time with a right knee injury, is out after playing 30 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Hawks. Ryan Rollins, who also started on Saturday since Giannis Antetokounmpo was out, will once again take on a prominent role offensively.

Porter finished Saturday’s defeat with a solid stat line, with the seven assists being the most in a game for him since recording ten in a February 27 loss to the Knicks. He has been one of the biggest surprises in fantasy basketball this season, even if fantasy managers expected his value to receive a bump due to Milwaukee’s point guard rotation. The Bucks end Week 20 with a game against the Pacers on Sunday.

With no Giannis Antetokounmpo in the fold, Rollins returned to the starting lineup on Saturday. While the Bucks were on the wrong end of a blowout, he had a good game individually. With the Bucks playing again on Sunday, Giannis’ return would likely push Rollins to the bench, but he remains a player who should be rostered in 12-team leagues.

With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Ousmane Dieng (illness) both ruled out, Rollins and Sims have moved into the starting lineup. Rollins is the more interesting fantasy option as he just had 16 points and 10 assists in 33 minutes off the bench in Thursday’s loss to the Heat.

Dieng was initially listed as questionable with an illness, but has since been ruled out for Saturday’s game against the Hawks. The 22-year-old small forward left Thursday’s loss to the Heat after only playing 14 minutes. AJ Green could make a spot start with Dieng out, though he’s not worth the risk in most fantasy leagues.

Porter was initially listed as questionable but has since been ruled in for Saturday’s game against the Hawks. The 25-year-old shooting guard returned after missing four games and had six points, seven rebounds and five assists in 28 minutes in Thursday’s loss to the Heat.

Antetokounmpo has been available for five of the last six Bucks games, but he missed the last back-to-back and is set to sit out Saturday’s game against the Hawks ahead of Sunday’s matchup with the Pacers. The 31-year-old power forward continues to manage a calf injury. The Bucks figure to rely heavily on Myles Turner and Bobby Portis with Antetokounmpo sidelined.

While Porter recently returned from right knee synovitis, Dieng is dealing with an illness. Ryan Rollins started for KPJ while he was sidelined and would return to the starting five. If Dieng can’t play, AJ Green could make a spot start.

Milwaukee closes the week with a back-to-back, making it possible that fantasy managers get one game out of Antetokounmpo instead of two. If he plays the Hawks on Saturday, Giannis likely won’t play the Pacers on Sunday. He sat out the second game of Milwaukee’s most recent back-to-back, a loss to the Magic on March 8.

Following a one-game absence with a back injury, Portis was back playing his typical role off the bench. Though it wasn’t enough for the Bucks to get the win, he has his highest-scoring performance since Feb. 24 and shot at least 50 percent from the floor for a ninth straight game. Portis is a solid reserve that ranks inside the top-100 in nine-category leagues over the past two weeks. However, his limited minutes will continue to cap his upside.

With Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) back in the lineup, Rollins returned to playing a role off the bench. However, he still played 33 minutes to KPJ’s 27 and was far more productive. Rollins has been one of the most improved players in the NBA this season, and as long as he is playing big minutes, he’ll continue to be a strong fantasy asset. However, he may be limited if he continues to come off the bench.

Antetokounmpo has been available for five of the Bucks’ last six games, but this was his best offensive performance. In fact, this was his highest-scoring performance since Jan. 11, which was over two months prior to this game. Giannis hasn’t been quite as productive as he typically is, most notably a lack of production on the glass. He’ll look to build on this scoring performance in Saturday’s game in Atlanta.

Dieng only played 14 minutes, and the only stats he contributed were a turnover and two fouls. Clearly, the illness was bothering him. Ryan Rollins should take on extra minutes down the stretch with Dieng sidelined.

Sims is back after a one-game absence, which resulted in Pete Nance picking up a few more minutes off the bench. Nance may not fall out of the rotation entirely, but his playing time should decrease with Sims available.
