Turner

Turner was back in the Bucks’ lineup after a two-game absence due to a strained calf. While no official number was provided beforehand, Turner played 25 minutes against the Raptors. He shot the ball well, but the overall stat line was a bit lean. Jericho Sims (four points, seven rebounds, two assists and one block) moved to the bench, logging 25 minutes. He isn’t a player who should be held onto in most leagues, but Sims will have opportunities as long as Turner’s playing time is restricted.

Turner is back after missing two games with a strained calf and is in the starting lineup. Due to his return, Jericho Sims has been bumped to the bench, where he’s unlikely to provide the production needed to affect fantasy basketball.

Turner missed the Bucks’ final game before the All-Star break as well as their first game after it. Jericho Sims should head back to the bench after starting against the Pelicans on Friday.

Turner has been dealing with a calf injury since before the All-Star break. The injury has lingered and cost the 29-year-old center Friday’s game against the Pelicans already. Turner’s status is up in the air, though he has a chance to return Sunday given his questionable listing. Ousmane Dieng would start for Turner if he’s out again and is worth streaming under those circumstances.

Turner is still dealing with the same calf injury that cost him a game before the All-Star break. The 29-year-old center is set to miss Friday’s game against the Pelicans. Ousmane Dieng should fill in for Turner and is worth streaming given his recent play.

Turner wasn’t on the initial injury report, but was a late scratch with right calf soreness. Ousmane Dieng had 17 points in 23 minutes in Wednesday’s win over the Magic and could be in for even more minutes with Turner out Thursday against the Thunder, Dieng’s former team.

After totaling 52 points and attempting 32 shots in his final two games of January, Turner has recorded 11 shots or fewer in each of his last five. The good news for fantasy managers is that the Bucks center can offer solid value in other categories, most notably blocks. However, Turner’s production has also tailed off in that category since the calendar flipped to February. He’s totaled eight blocks in five games, six fewer than his total in Milwaukee’s final three games of January. Hopefully, Turner finishes the pre-break portion of the schedule with another good night in the blocks category on Wednesday against Orlando.

Turner is still dealing with a left ankle sprain. The 29-year-old center was initially listed as probable, so his availability isn’t much of a surprise. Turner will start as usual and could see extra minutes and usage with Bobby Portis (hip) still sidelined.

Turner is managing a left ankle sprain, but that isn’t expected to alter his availability against New Orleans. He’ll occupy his typical role in the starting lineup and could see extra minutes with Bobby Portis (hip) sidelined.

Unfortunately for the Bucks, it appears that Giannis Antetokounmpo going down with a calf strain was what fully unlocked Turner. After going off for 31 points in Tuesday’s loss to the 76ers, he finished Thursday’s defeat with his best all-around line of the season. Turner’s double-double was his third of the season; the rebound tally was a season-high, and he matched his previous high in blocks. Over the past two weeks, Turner has been a top-5 player in eight-cat formats.
