Kevin Porter

MIL Guard-Forward #7

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) and Myles Turner (calf) are questionable for Thursday’s game against the Jazz.

While Porter was available for Tuesday’s loss to the Cavaliers, Turner was not available due to a strained calf. Jericho Sims started on Tuesday and offered little value in that role. He would likely get another start if Turner remains out.
Kyle Kuzma

MIL Forward #18

Kyle Kuzma (elbow) is probable for Thursday’s game against the Jazz.

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.
Giannis Antetokounmpo

MIL Forward #34

Giannis Antetokounmpo “remains uninterested” in being shut down despite the Bucks approaching him about it.

Milwaukee believes it will be mutually beneficial if he sits out the rest of the season, likely since it would help improve their lottery odds. However, Antetokounmpo wants to play. He’s set to be re-evaluated early next week after being diagnosed with a left knee hyperextension and bone bruise. This clear tension will certainly continue to fan the flames of trade rumors that have surrounded Giannis and the Bucks for most of the season.
Ousmane Dieng

MIL Forward #21

Ousmane Dieng provided a boost off the bench with 19 points (7-of-12 FGs), five rebounds, one assist, one steal and five three-pointers on Tuesday against the Cavaliers.

Following a two-game absence with an illness, Dieng returned to the lineup for this game, though he didn’t remain in the starting lineup after starting the six games prior to his absence. However, he still played 30 minutes off the bench and was able to pour in the points from beyond the arc. Dieng should continue to play big minutes for the rest of the season, especially with Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) sidelined for at least the next week.
Kevin Porter

MIL Guard-Forward #7

Kevin Porter Jr. led the Bucks with 25 points (8-of-15 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), three rebounds, 10 assists, two blocks and one three-pointer in a 123-116 loss to the Cavaliers on Tuesday.

After missing Sunday’s game against the Pacers, which was the second night of a back-to-back, KPJ returned to take on Cleveland. He had his first double-double and highest-scoring performance of the month, though it wasn’t enough to get the win over his former team. Still, it was a strong outing for KPJ and his best since he returned from a four-game absence with the knee injury. He’ll look to stay hot in Utah on Thursday.
Taurean Prince

MIL Forward #12

Kevin Porter Jr., Ryan Rollins, Taurean Prince, Kyle Kuzma and Myles Turner will start against the Cavaliers on Tuesday.

KPJ’s return will push AJ Green back to the bench, while Prince and Sims will fill in for Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and Myles Turner (calf). Giannis is set to miss at least one week, so either Prince or Sims could remain with the opening group for multiple games.
Ryan Rollins

MIL Guard #13

Ryan Rollins (illness) is available to play against the Cavaliers on Tuesday.

Rollins was a late addition to the injury report, but he will be able to play through the illness. He has started the last two games and averaged 21.0 points, 7.5 assists and 3.5 triples per game.
Ousmane Dieng

MIL Forward #21

Ousmane Dieng (illness) is available to play against the Cavaliers on Tuesday.

Dieng will be back following a two-game absence with this illness. AJ Green started in his place and provided plenty of triples, but he will likely return to the bench with Dieng available.
Myles Turner

MIL Center-Forward #3

Myles Turner (calf) is out for Tuesday’s game against the Cavaliers.

Turner had been dealing with a knee injury, but popped up on the injury report with a right calf strain and was subsequently ruled out. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) also sidelined, the Bucks will rely heavily on Jericho Sims and Bobby Portis.
Giannis Antetokounmpo

MIL Forward #34

Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) will be re-evaluated in one week, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.

Antetokounmpo has been diagnosed with a left knee hyperextension and bone bruise, according to a report from Charania. The Bucks will re-evaluate their superstar power forward in one week. Jericho Sims should move into the starting lineup with Antetokounmpo out, but this is a bad injury for fantasy managers to have to deal with during the fantasy playoffs.
