Kasparas Jakučionis drops 18 points, six assists

Champaign, IL - 2024.09.16 - 2024-2025 Men's Basketball Production Day

Kasparas Jakučionis

MIL Guard #25

Player Stats

Kasparas Jakučionis tallied 18 points (3-of-8 FGs, 11-of-11 FTs), one rebound, six assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Wednesday’s exhibition against the Bulls.

Shipped to Milwaukee after one season as part of the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade, Jakučionis started Wednesday because the Bucks held out Ryan Rollins, Tyler Herro and Kevin Porter Jr. The second-year guard had his moments, leading the Bucks in assists and making 11 free throws. However, Jakučionis also committed five turnovers, which isn’t surprising for a young guard who played limited minutes as a rookie. Given Milwaukee’s perimeter depth, Jakučionis may struggle to earn consistent minutes this season. While that makes him a non-factor in redraft leagues, he should be rostered in dynasty leagues.

Kasparas Jakucionis with 15 points (4-of-7 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), three rebounds, three assists, a block, and a three in 26 minutes.

He was one of the first players off the bench for the Bucks. Had a tough first half but got better in the second half. He still ended up with five fouls in this game. He likely won’t impact many fantasy leagues this year but in dynasty leagues, it will be something we continue to watch since the Bucks don’t have a surefire star on their roster.

MIL Guard

Kasparas Jakučionis recorded 11 points (2-of-10 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), three rebounds, six assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Friday’s loss to the Heat.

The Bucks viewed Jakučionis as a key player in their negotiations with the Heat over Giannis Antetokounmpo, so it’s safe to assume they’ll do everything they can to make the second-year guard a key contributor next season. In his unofficial Bucks debut, the 6-foot-6 guard shot 0-of-7 from inside the arc. The good news was that Jakučionis did a good job of setting up teammates, and he shot 2-of-3 from beyond the arc. While he isn’t a lock to be fantasy-relevant next season, Jakučionis is worth keeping an eye on.

The Athletic’s Sam Amick reports the Bucks pushed for Kasparas Jakučionis to be included in the trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Amick, citing league sources, reports the Heat initially attempted to include Davion Mitchell in the trade rather than Jakučionis. With Mitchell on an expiring contract, the Bucks wanted a player with more time remaining on their rookie contract. It was a reasonable ask considering two of the other players the Bucks acquired (Tyler Herro and Jaimie Jaquez Jr.) are also on expiring deals. The Bucks held out and landed Jakučionis, who has three years left on his contract. He remains an intriguing dynasty asset on the rebuilding Bucks.

MIL Guard #25

The Bucks have reportedly acquired Kasparas Jakučionis, Tyler Herro, Kel’el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and multiple picks from the Heat for Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis.

Miami lead executive Pat Riley has reportedly landed his most recent “big fish,” and Jakučionis is among the players headed in the other direction. The 20th overall pick in the 2025 draft, the former Illinois standout averaged 6.2 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 53 appearances as a rookie. Shooting 42.9 percent from the field and 87.9 percent from the foul line, injuries led to Jakučionis making 12 starts. With Milwaukee clearly on a rebuilding path, the 6-foot-6 guard is worth keeping an eye on in redraft leagues, but he is not a “must-draft” player yet. However, Jakučionis’ ceiling in dynasty leagues has been raised with the reported trade.
Tyler Herro

MIA Guard #14

Tyler Herro (foot) and Davion Mitchell (shoulder) are available for Sunday’s game against the Hawks.

Herro and Mitchell are available for Sunday’s regular-season finale after not playing in Friday’s win over the Wizards. Their returns will push Simone Fontecchio and Kasparas Jakučionis to the bench, with the former offering a higher ceiling when used in a reserve role. A win over the Hawks, combined with a Hornets loss to the Knicks, would move Miami into the No. 9 seed. They would host the 9 vs. 10 game on Wednesday night.
Kasparas Jakučionis

MIA Guard #25

Kasparas Jakučionis, Simone Fontecchio, Andrew Wiggins, Bam Adebayo and Kel’el Ware will start Friday’s game against the Wizards.

The Heat will not have Davion Mitchell, Tyler Herro or Norman Powell for Friday’s game, with the absences of the first two creating openings in the starting lineup. Jakučions and Ware will move into the starting lineup, with Fontecchio replacing Pelle Larsson.
Davion Mitchell

MIA Guard #45

Davion Mitchell (shoulder) is out for Friday’s game against the Wizards.

Mitchell, who recorded his fifth double-double of the season in Thursday’s loss to the Raptors, is out with a right shoulder contusion. His absence likely means a spot start for rookie Kasparas Jakučionis, who has seldom merited streaming in fantasy leagues this season.
Davion Mitchell

MIA Guard #45

Davion Mitchell (shoulder) is questionable for Friday’s matchup with the Wizards.

Mitchell is dealing with a right shoulder contusion, and “Off Night” could get a night off. Kasparas Jakučionis could see some extra run if Mitchell is ultimately ruled out.
Tyler Herro

MIA Guard #14

Tyler Herro (foot) is probable for Saturday’s game against the Wizards.

Herro is dealing with a sore right foot, but the probable tag suggests that he will be available on Saturday. If he can’t play, Kasparas Jakučionis and Kel’el Ware are potential replacements in the starting lineup. Ware offers a higher streaming ceiling when allowed to start.
Tyler Herro

MIA Guard #14

Davion Mitchell, Tyler Herro, Pelle Larsson, Bam Adebayo and Kel’el Ware will start Saturday’s game against the Magic.

Herro is back after sitting out the last two games with a quad injury, and his return pushes Kasparas Jakučionis to the bench. Also of note is Norman Powell coming off the bench in his return from a back injury, leaving Larsson in the starting lineup.

DeMar DeRozan accounted for 21 points (7-of-15 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, two assists, two steals, one block and two three-pointers in Monday’s loss to the Warriors.

For the first time since his rookie season, DeRozan is being asked to come off the bench. As expected, the veteran forward needs to adjust to the unfamiliar role. After taking 19 shots in Denver’s first two games, he took 15 against the Warriors and recorded his first 20-point stat line of the season. As DeRozan gets more comfortable in his role, his chances of providing the fantasy value managers have grown accustomed to over the years improve.

Bryce Hopkins finished Monday’s loss to the Warriors with 13 points (5-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, one assist and one three-pointer.

Monday’s start was the second in as many games for Hopkins, who continues to fill in for the injured Cameron Johnson (ankle). Unlike Saturday’s win over the Pelicans, when he offered limited production, the rookie was more aggressive on offense. The result was Hopkins’ first double-figure scoring night as an NBA player. He should remain a starter until Johnson is healthy enough to play.

Jamal Murray notched 19 points (8-of-13 FGs), six rebounds, eight assists, three steals and three three-pointers in Monday’s loss to the Warriors.

After going off for 42 points in Saturday’s win over the Pelicans, Murray cooled off a bit on Monday. However, he still shot well; the final line reflected lower shot volume and his inability to get to the foul line. After attempting 13 free throws against New Orleans, Murray didn’t attempt any against the Warriors. Monday’s outcome aside, Murray’s gotten off to a good individual start this season.

Nikola Jokić recorded 19 points (8-of-18 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), seven rebounds, 11 assists, one steal, three blocks and one three-pointer in Monday’s loss to the Warriors.

Two nights after recording a triple-double in Denver’s comeback win over the Pelicans, Jokić posted a double-double on Monday. The three-time MVP finished with a complete stat line and committed one turnover, a good start to the week for those rostering him. However, the Nuggets are now 1-2, and they needed to erase a large deficit to get that lone win. Simply put, Jokić needs more help from teammates not named Jamal Murray.

Brandin Podziemski recorded 18 points (7-of-14 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), seven rebounds, five assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Monday’s win over the Nuggets.

Back in the lineup after sitting out Saturday’s loss to the Suns, Podziemski recorded his second 18-point game of the season. He played 33 minutes against the Nuggets, a positive sign given the back issue that kept Podz out of the Warriors’ October 21 season opener. Golden State has three more games in Week 2, ending with a Sunday/Monday back-to-back, so another injury management night could be on the horizon for Podziemski.

Stephen Curry accounted for 24 points (8-of-8 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), three rebounds, three assists, two steals and three three-pointers in Monday’s win over the Nuggets.

For just the second time in his illustrious career, Curry finished a game without missing a shot. After making his lone attempt during the first half, the Warriors guard shot 7-of-7 from the field in the second half as they pulled away from the Nuggets. Given Yaxel Lendeborg’s play, the Warriors didn’t have to rely as much on Curry. If that continues, it would make the future Hall of Fame guard’s job a little easier.

Yaxel Lendeborg finished Monday’s win over the Nuggets with 31 points (9-of-19 FGs, 12-of-13 Fts), 12 rebounds, six assists, one block and one three-pointer.

On a night when Stephen Curry attempted just one shot in the first half, Lendeborg had his best game as a pro. The rookie forward recorded his second double-double in four games and his first 30-point stat line. Given Lendeborg’s role with the Warriors and how much the team seems to trust him, he could be one of the best rookies in fantasy basketball this season.

Mo Bamba started the second half and finished with 14 points (7-of-8 FGs), seven rebounds, one assist and four blocks on Monday against the Grizzlies.

Both Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) and Lauri Markkanen (wrist) exited early from this game, which allowed Bamba and Josh Green to start the second half. Green wasn’t productive, but Bamba made the most of the opportunity. If Jackson remains out against the Spurs on Wednesday, Bamba may be in line to start. However, it is unlikely be produces to this level again, and the matchup against Victor Wembanyama isn’t ideal.

Ace Bailey recorded a double-double on Monday with 17 points (6-of-10 FGs), 10 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and three three-pointers against the Grizzlies.

Bailey has been excellent over Utah’s last two games, posting a double-double in both. However, his production could continue to climb. Lauri Markkanen (knee) and Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) both exited early from this game and could remain sidelined. Bailey already moved into the starting unit after opening night, but his usage will continue to increase if Utah is missing two starters. He’ll look to stay hot against the Spurs on Wednesday.
