Trent, who was not available for Friday’s loss to the Nuggets, has been out of the Bucks’ rotation recently. However, Giannis Antetokounmpo’s calf strain likely changes that, but there’s no need to add Trent immediately. Watch his playing time and production on Tuesday before making that call.

Green did not play in Friday’s loss to the Nuggets, so Gary Harris made a spot start. While he may remain in the rotation, Harris is unlikely to provide the production needed to impact fantasy basketball. As for Green, he’s worth picking up since the Bucks need scoring with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) sidelined.

Porter Jr. is set to miss his third straight game after injuring his oblique against the Hawks on January 19. The versatile combo guard has been limited to 23 games thus far, thanks to various injuries. While he is sidelined, Ryan Rollins will remain in the starting point guard position, taking on primary ball-handling and playmaking responsibilities. Cole Anthony should continue seeing quality minutes and opportunities off the bench.

According to Nehm, Rivers said, “He did a very good job. MRI has revealed exactly what we thought. There’s no timetable. Calf strain and really no timetable for return. Hopefully, like it was before, sooner (than later), but there’s no timetable.” That’s certainly a divergence from Giannis’ initial four-to-six-week estimate. Until Antetokounmpo returns, Bobby Portis and Kyle Kuzma will share duties at PF.

Ruled out for Friday’s loss to the Nuggets, Trent had fallen out of the Bucks’ rotation before his illness. However, with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) out for at least four to six weeks, there may be room for Trent to offer some value. There’s no need to add him to fantasy rosters right now.

Green did not play in Friday’s loss to the Nuggets, which led to Gary Harris moving into the starting lineup and playing 28 minutes. Harris did not offer much production in that role, so there’s no need to consider streaming him if Green remains out.

While it’s unclear when exactly Antetokounmpo suffered the injury during Friday night’s loss to the Nuggets, the 31-year-old power forward didn’t mince words in his postgame media availability. Antetokounmpo said he expects the MRI, which is scheduled for Saturday, to show that he popped something in his calf and that he won’t return before the end of February at the earliest. While the injury is potentially devastating for fantasy managers, it also has major implications on the Bucks’ playoff hopes. Milwaukee is currently two and a half games behind Atlanta for the 10th seed in the Eastern Conference and will have to find a way to tread water without their star player for at least the next month.

Truner returned from a one-game absence and provided the Bucks with solid two-way production. In the loss, he scored efficiently inside the arc and was decent on the glass in his 29 minutes of game action. But his biggest impact came on the defensive end, where he set a new season-high in blocks and tallied more in this one game than he had combined throughout January. Turner’s debut season in Milwaukee has been up-and-down, but perhaps this will be the game to jumpstart the rest of his campaign.

Rollins was one of the few Bucks players to produce consistently on the offensive end. He used the three-point shot to finish as one of two Bucks to reach 20 points, and led Milwaukee in steals on the other end. All of Rollins’ offensive production came as a scorer, as he failed to make an impact as a facilitator. Nonetheless, it’s presumable that he will put together good fantasy production moving forward while Kevin Porter Jr. (oblique) remains out.

Antetokounmpo’s total shot attempts were low, once again. Aside from the three minutes he logged in an earlier contest against Detroit, in which he exited early with an injury, Antetokounmpo finished with under 10 shot attempts for the first time all season. He did get to the line a fair amount, which helped him tally over 20 points and lead the Bucks in scoring. But perhaps the most important development from Friday’s game was Antetokounmpo’s health: he left with a leg injury in the final minute and did not return. His status moving forward could have major implications.

Green was added to the injury report Friday afternoon and has now officially been ruled out. Cole Anthony and Andre Jackson Jr. are the top candidates to fill the open starting spot, though neither holds much streaming upside.

After being listed previously as questionable due to an illness, Trent Jr. has been downgraded and will miss Friday’s game against the Nuggets. The veteran sharpshooter has seen his minutes dwindle as the season has progressed and has now settled into a lesser reserve role, averaging under 20 minutes per game. He’s always capable of getting hot from beyond the arc for some big performances, but the overall impact has been minimal of late. Trent Jr.'s absence shouldn’t change much from a fantasy basketball standpoint.

Turner is set to return from a one-game absence to help the Bucks get back on track. The veteran center has underwhelmed in his first season in Milwaukee, averaging just 12.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game for a Bucks team that’s struggling to stack wins. Both the Bucks and fantasy managers could use a big game from Turner on Friday.

If Trent Jr. and Green are forced to sit this one out, Gary Harris and Cole Anthony could see additional playing time in the backcourt, with Ryan Rollins taking on a major workload.

Turner did not play in Wednesday’s loss to the Thunder, which led to Gary Harris starting and Giannis Antetokounmpo serving as the starting center opposite Chet Holmgren. Harris played nine minutes, with Bobby Portis’ playing time increasing off the bench. Harris is likely to fall out of the rotation entirely if Turner plays on Friday.

Rollins has dished out seven assists in two of his last three games, and his season-long fantasy value continues to hold steady just outside the top-50 in eight-cat formats. And with Kevin Porter Jr. (oblique) expected to be out for a while, now is a good time to hop back onto the Rollins bandwagon, even with Wednesday’s modest production.

Not only were the nine assists a season-high for Portis, but Wednesday’s tally equalled his total in Milwaukee’s previous eight games. While Gary Harris (three points, one assist and one three-pointer) started for the injured Myles Turner, he only played nine minutes, and Portis was in the lineup to begin the third quarter. If Turner isn’t back for Friday’s game against the Nuggets, one would think that Portis would be his replacement. It doesn’t make sense to start anyone else.

The Bucks were on the wrong end of their fourth defeat in five games, with Giannis leading the way offensively. He remains under a minutes restriction, but the Bucks continue to battle inconsistency with the trade deadline two weeks away. While Giannis may not be on the move, the team around him likely needs to change if Milwaukee is to entertain any thoughts of being a factor come playoff time.

The Bucks don’t have Myles Turner for Wednesday’s game, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. He’ll be replaced by Harris, who can give the Bucks’ perimeter defense a boost. This lineup also means Giannis will start guarding Chet Holmgren.

Porter, who came off the bench in Monday’s win over the Hawks, is dealing with a strained oblique muscle. Given Rivers’ words, KPJ’s injury may be a week-to-week deal, and that’s being conservative. His absence raises Ryan Rollins’ fantasy ceiling, and Gary Trent Jr. may re-enter the rotation.

Turner’s absence should mean plenty of run for Bobby Portis, with Jericho Sims earning some additional minutes off the bench. In six starts this season, Portis has averaged 16 points, nine boards and 1.7 triples across 31 minutes.

KPJ came off the bench in his last game out, but his vacated minutes should give Ryan Rollins a higher upside. Gary Trent Jr. may pick up some extra minutes too, but Rollins is the clear streaming option here.

Turner is dealing with a left ankle sprain, according to the injury report. His status is up in the air for Wednesday’s game against the Thunder given his questionable designation. Bobby Portis and Jericho Sims would be candidates to fill in at the center position if Turner is ultimately ruled out with Portis as the preferred fantasy option.

Porter, who came off the bench in Monday’s win over the Hawks, is dealing with a strained oblique muscle. Gary Trent Jr. could be moved into the rotation after picking up a DNP-CD the last time out, but he would not be worth the streaming risk.

Looking to give the bench unit a spark, Bucks head coach Doc Rivers moved Porter to the bench, with Kyle Kuzma moving into the starting lineup. While he didn’t score much, KPJ’s seven assists were valuable. As for Kuzma, he accounted for 10 points, one rebound, one assist, one block and one three-pointer. Porter moving to the bench is disappointing from a fantasy standpoint, but managers must hold onto him. The playing time will still be there.

Turner’s making four three-pointers in Monday’s victory was not a surprise, as he is one of the best perimeter-shooting bigs in the NBA. However, the veteran center was more productive on the glass than he’s been for most of this season. The eight boards were the most in a game for Turner in nearly two months, having last reached that number on November 26. Unfortunately, fantasy managers can’t count on Turner for consistent rebounding production.

A double-digit scorer in five straight games, Portis’ 19 points were the most he’s had in a game since dropping 20 in a January 2 win over the Hornets. While there wasn’t much rebounding production to be had, the veteran forward had a good afternoon shooting the basketball. Portis has only exceeded 25 minutes in two of the seven games he’s played this month, and the playing time does more harm to his fantasy ceiling than being used in a reserve role. That said, he should still be rostered in 14-team leagues.

Antetokounmpo’s playing time is still being restricted, with the Bucks’ forward limited to 30 minutes on Monday. The good news for fantasy managers was that Giannis still recorded a robust stat line, with the low free-throw percentage being the only issue. However, most fantasy managers understand that the poor foul shooting comes with the territory when rostering Antetokounmpo.

With the change to the All-Star Game format, starters are announced by conference, with no regard to position. Giannis led the way among Eastern Conference vote-getters, and he’ll be a starter for the World squad in next month’s All-Star Game in Inglewood, California. Brunson, Cunningham, Maxey and Brown will represent one of the two United States teams.

Having lost three straight and four of their last five games, the Bucks are making a change to the starting lineup. Kuzma is in, with Kevin Porter Jr. being moved to the bench. While KPJ’s fantasy value takes a hit, Ryan Rollins’ value should receive a boost since he’ll be the lone primary ballhandler in the lineup.
