Ryan

Rollins

Injured during Tuesday’s win over the Raptors, Rollins will not play against Detroit. With Damian Lillard (shoulder) also sidelined, Delon Wright should be the next man up. He’s worth the risk in deep leagues due to Milwaukee’s lack of options at point guard.

Lillard will sit out a second straight game, which opens the door for Delon Wright or Ryan Rollins to start in his place. Whoever joins the first unit offers streaming value for Wednesday’s busy slate.

Starting for the injured Damian Lillard (concussion), Rollins played well before being forced to leave Tuesday’s game. In 22 minutes, he tallied 12 points, five rebounds, three assists, five steals, and four 3-pointers, shooting 4-of-12 from the field. With the Bucks facing the Pistons on Wednesday, they could be without Lillard and Rollins. If so, Delon Wright would be the next man up. However, Rollins expressed optimism after the game that he will be able to play.

The Bucks will have a new starting backcourt for Tuesday’s game. Rollins, who has played well recently, will start for the injured Damian Lillard. Green replaces Andre Jackson Jr. and will make his first start of the season. Rollins offers a higher ceiling of the two as the starting point guard.

Dame will miss at least Tuesday’s game, which means that the Bucks will have a different starting point guard. Delon Wright should return to the rotation, but it’s unclear if he’ll start, or if they’ll roll with Ryan Rollins. Whoever starts in place of Dame should be worth streaming.

Jackson’s availability is more impactful, as he recently replaced Gary Trent Jr. in the starting lineup. While there’s no need to pick up Jackson in most fantasy leagues, he’s worth observing and even adding to deep-league watchlists. As for Rollins, he’s managed to earn some backup point guard minutes recently, but that isn’t enough to merit being rostered in fantasy leagues.

Rollins has not been a consistent member of the Bucks’ rotation when healthy, so his availability will not impact fantasy basketball.

Rollins started his career with the Warriors and was dealt to Washington in the Chris Paul trade. He was waived by the Wizards on January 8, and he’ll look to establish a more permanent role with his new team. Rollins is not worth adding in even the deepest of fantasy leagues.

A second-round pick of the Hawks in 2022, Rollins began his NBA career with the Warriors but failed to properly establish himself in the Bay Area before being included in the Chris Paul trade. He appeared in 10 games for the Wizards this season, averaging 4.1 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 1.1 assists in 6.6 minutes.

Neither player’s availability makes much of an impact on fantasy managers’ lineup decisions ahead of Thursday’s tilt with the Trail Blazers.
