AJ

Green

Lillard, who has been dealing with Achilles soreness for a few weeks, aggravated the issue during Friday’s Game 3 defeat. Unfortunately, he continued to struggle with the injury, ultimately being used as a decoy during the overtime period. In addition to being doubtful for Game 4, Lillard was seen wearing a walking boot on his left foot. Malik Beasley, Pat Connaughton, and AJ Green would be in play for additional minutes if he cannot play.

Green is available after missing Milwaukee’s last two regular season games. His return will not significantly impact the Bucks, as he was on the back end of the rotation before the injury.

Injured during Wednesday’s win over Orlando, Green had already been ruled out for Friday’s game against the Thunder. The Bucks announced Friday afternoon that he will undergo treatment and be evaluated daily. Green’s absence will not impact active fantasy leagues.

While Green’s absence impacts the back end of the Bucks’ rotation, it will not affect active fantasy leagues. Andre Jackson Jr. is one player who could play additional minutes due to the Bucks being shorthanded on the wings. As for Galloway, he is not in the rotation when he is healthy.

Green’s early exit left the Bucks down a man on the perimeter, but it did not significantly impact the outcome or fantasy basketball. That will continue to be the case unless the Bucks lose a starter due to injury.

Beverley has missed Milwaukee’s last three games, robbing the Bucks of their best perimeter defender. A return by the veteran guard would result in fewer minutes for AJ Green, who has not been productive enough to merit being streamed in active leagues.

Considered questionable on the initial injury report, Beverley is trending toward not playing on Friday. With Damian Lillard (groin) available, his return would have dropped PatBev to the bench. Pat Connaughton and AJ Green are worth a look in deep leagues, but neither is a must-add with Lillard playing.

Beverley is back after a one-game absence, as he did not play in Tuesday’s double-overtime loss to the Lakers. His return would result in fewer minutes for Pat Connaughton and AJ Green, and under normal circumstances, none would be worth streaming. However, Thursday is a two-game night, so PatBev is worth a roll of the dice for deep-league managers needing defensive production.

Beverley’s absence leaves the Bucks down a rotation guard for at least one game. With Khris Middleton (ankle) on track to play and Pat Connaughton and AJ Green absent from the injury report, the Bucks have enough options to absorb the minutes that would have gone to PatBev. Neither Connaughton nor Green has provided consistent value when positioned to be streamed, but the former is worth considering on a four-game night.

Green’s absence did not significantly impact the Bucks’ rotation or fantasy basketball, as Khris Middleton and Giannis Antetokounmpo were available. While he may log rotation minutes if cleared for Tuesday’s game against the Lakers, Green is not a must-roster player in fantasy leagues.
