Teague

Teague played in four of the first five games of the Eastern Conference Finals, scoring a total of seven points in 20 minutes. He made the most of his minutes Saturday night, knocking down all three of his 3-point attempts. That being said, he didn’t offer much else in the way of production. And with Teague no guarantee to be part of the rotation once the NBA Finals begin, there’s no reason to consider using him in DFS lineups.

Teague had been listed as probable, but we now know he will be available to play in Saturday’s Game 1 against Miami. The last time we saw Teague was in the regular season finale when he dropped 23 points, seven dimes, and three steals in 34 minutes, but the Bucks were resting the majority of their key guys, which they certainly will not be doing today. Therefore, expect Teague to see limited minutes off the bench behind Jrue Holiday, if he plays at all.

Teague ended the regular season in style with 23 points, seven dimes and three steals in 34 minutes. Those numbers all approached or set season highs, and he only got there because Milwaukee rested most of their key guys, so the postseason should yield his typical role with only a handful of minutes behind Jrue Holiday.

He’ll be available for his usual, non-impactful role in the low-teens off the bench tonight.

The veteran had two points and two rebounds in 11 minutes during Sunday’s game vs. Brooklyn, so his absence won’t have much of an impact (if any) in fantasy.

The Bucks punted this game on the second leg of the back-to-back, opting to rest every single starter. That’s why we’re not chasing this line, and it doesn’t help Teague’s case that the Bucks don’t have any back-to-backs coming up this week.

Not only was Teague debuting for his new team, he was also playing for the first time since Mar. 24 due to health and safety protocols. He’ll fill the role vacated by D.J. Augustin, which isn’t saying much since DJA was averaging just 19 minutes per game for Milwaukee this season.

It’s not clear if Teague will debut this evening, but he projects to be Milwaukee’s backup PG which means his fantasy impact will be minimal at best.

Teague is yet to play for the Bucks, but even when he does, he won’t make much of a fantasy impact.

Teague was dealt to the Orlando Magic as part of the Evan Fournier trade, then waived days later. Now, as a free agent, he’ll re-join Mike Budenholzer with the Bucks this time for a chance at a title. Teague isn’t likely to make a big impact as a reserve guard and can be left on the wire.
