Damian Lillard

MIL Point Guard #0

3hESPN’s Shams Charania reports Damian Lillard is out indefinitely with a deep vein thrombosis in his right calf.

Initially diagnosed with a strained right calf, a deep vein thrombosis has reportedly developed. While blood-thinning medications have neutralized the blood clot, the Bucks guard will be out indefinitely and will continue to be tested regularly. From a fantasy standpoint, Lillard may not return in time to help managers who have relied on him for high-level production during the playoff weeks. While Ryan Rollins has been the replacement in the starting lineup, Gary Trent Jr. is the player who should be targeted on waiver wires.

Giannis Antetokounmpo

MIL Power Forward #34

5hGiannis Antetokounmpo (foot) is questionable for Wednesday’s matchup with the Nuggets.

Giannis has been a fixture on the Bucks’ injury reports as of late, but it’s been for a knee issue. This latest injury is a new one, and it could keep Antetokounmpo on the sideline for the first time since the All-Star break. Milwaukee is already shorthanded in the frontcourt. If Giannis can’t go, Kyle Kuzma could shift to PF, and Gary Trent Jr. could enter the starting lineup.

Damian Lillard

MIL Point Guard #0

5hDamian Lillard (calf) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Nuggets.

Wednesday’s game will be Lillard’s fourth missed game with a strained right calf. Ryan Rollins has been his replacement in the starting lineup, and that should remain the case in Denver. However, Gary Trent Jr. is the superior choice for fantasy managers seeking a streamer with Lillard unavailable. Trent has scored in double figures in seven straight games.

Gary Trent Jr.

MIL Shooting Guard #5

23hGary Trent Jr. tallied 19 points (6-of-12 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), four rebounds, two assists, two steals and four three-pointers in 31 minutes in Monday’s loss to the Suns.

Despite being used in a reserve role, Trent’s fantasy value has increased with Damian Lillard out of the Bucks’ lineup. Over the past week, he has provided fourth-round value in nine-cat formats. Points, three-pointers and steals have been the areas in which Trent has been most valuable recently, and he had good nights in those categories in Phoenix. Rostered in just 10 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Trent is worth streaming while Lillard sits.

Brook Lopez

MIL Center #11

23hBrook Lopez accounted for 23 points (8-of-14 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), 10 rebounds, three assists, two steals and two three-pointers in 42 minutes in Monday’s loss to the Suns.

While Lopez has scored 20 points or more in four of his last eight appearances, the rebounding production should not be overlooked. The 10 boards he grabbed on Monday were the most in a game for the veteran center since March 4, and his average of 5.0 per game is the lowest for Lopez since the 2019-20 campaign. That said, excellent percentages are why he has been a fifth-round player in nine-cat formats this season. And over the past two weeks, Lopez has shot 63.8 percent from the field and 86.4 percent from the foul line.

Giannis Antetokounmpo

MIL Power Forward #34

23hGiannis Antetokounmpo played 37 minutes in Monday’s loss to the Suns, finishing with 31 points (12-of-19 FGs, 6-of-13 FTs), 10 rebounds, five assists, one steal and one three-pointer.

For the first time in nearly three weeks, Antetokounmpo has recorded back-to-back 30-point games. He recorded his 49th double-double of the season on Monday and continues to record gaudy stat lines. The foul shooting remains problematic, but that is something many fantasy managers have come to expect. With Damian Lillard injured, the Bucks will lean on Giannis even more. That’s good news for fantasy managers, especially with Milwaukee playing three more games during Week 21.

Giannis Antetokounmpo

MIL Power Forward #34

1dGiannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and Gary Trent Jr. (knee) are available for Monday’s game against the Suns.

Both players were initially listed as probable, which has been a common theme in recent weeks. They’ll be good to go, with Giannis occupying his usual spot in the starting lineup and Trent Jr. off the bench. GTJ has scored in double figures in six consecutive games.

Damian Lillard

MIL Point Guard #0

1dDamian Lillard (calf) is out for Monday’s game against the Suns.

Lillard will miss a third-straight game with a calf injury. While Ryan Rollins has been his replacement in the starting lineup, his production in that role has been limited. Kevin Porter Jr. can be a bit erratic from a production standpoint, but he offers a higher ceiling than Rollins despite coming off the bench.

Giannis Antetokounmpo

MIL Power Forward #34

1dGiannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and Gary Trent Jr. (knee) are probable for Monday’s game against the Suns.

Antetokounmpo and Trent are once again considered probable for a game, so fantasy managers should operate under the assumption that they will play. While the former’s fantasy value is well-known, the latter has received a slight boost with Damian Lillard (calf) out of the lineup. Trent continues to come off the bench, but he’s worth a look in deep leagues where there is a need for three-pointers.

Kevin Porter Jr.

MIL Point Guard #3

2dKevin Porter Jr. logged 27 minutes in Saturday’s win over the Kings, amassing 18 points (8-of-10 FGs), three rebounds, six assists and two three-pointers.

Trusting Porter in fantasy basketball has been a fool’s errand most nights. However, he came up big for a Bucks team without Damian Lillard. Porter shot 80 percent from the field and provided six assists, compensation for spot starter Ryan Rollins’ subpar performance. Rollins played 21 minutes, going scoreless with two rebounds and four assists. Milwaukee plays four games during Week 21, and Porter will be worth streaming if Lillard remains out.
