Ryan Rollins hits three triples, scores 19 points

Do not panic on Ryan’s inefficient night. He was second on the team in shot attempts and he will not average 28% from the field. What I am noticing about is how Kasparas closed the game over him and played more minutes. We will continue to monitor the situation, but it wasn’t a good start for Rollins.

Rollins’ defensive aggression helped Milwaukee hold Minnesota’s reserves to 21 points in the third quarter. However, that also contributed to him fouling out in 14 minutes of play. Rollins averaged 2.6 fouls per game during his breakout 2025-26 season, so there should not be any concern coming out of Monday’s game. In fact, the biggest takeaway is that he started with Kevin Porter Jr. (seven points, three rebounds, and two assists) coming off the bench. The question is whether head coach Taylor Jenkins will stick with this lineup or give KPJ opportunities to make the starting point guard job his own. If Rollins starts, he’ll have the opportunity to show that last season wasn’t a fluke.

Rollins and Trent will end the season on the sidelines, as both are dealing with injuries. AJ Green and Cormac Ryan served as the starting backcourt in Friday’s win over the Nets, and both recorded career-high point totals. They’ll be worth streaming in active fantasy leagues, especially with Green being two three-pointers away from the Bucks’ single-season record.

Rollins popped up on the injury report as questionable in the late afternoon and was subsequently ruled out for Friday’s game against the Nets with a right hip strain. Pete Nance could move back into the starting lineup with Rollins sidelined and Ousmane Dieng, AJ Green and Taurean Prince are all candidates for extra minutes.

Rollins recently missed time with a strained right hip, but he was not on the injury report for Friday’s game. Now that he is, the Bucks could slot Pete Nance back into the lineup if Rollins doesn’t play. His absence would also free up additional playmaking opportunities for Ousmane Dieng, AJ Green and Taurean Prince.

Having missed three of the Bucks’ prior four games, Rollins still logged 33 minutes on Wednesday. And he was productive, recording a complete stat line and extending his streak of games with at least 20 points to three. While he was selected in drafts following Damian Lillard’s exit, few expected Rollins to be as valuable to fantasy managers as he’s been this season. Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future in Milwaukee will affect the entire roster, but Rollins has been productive enough to gain the trust of managers in 12-team leagues heading into the 2026-27 season.

Rollins is back after having missed three of Milwaukee’s last four games. His return means that Pete Nance will come off the bench in the lone change to the Bucks’ starting five.

Milwaukee will be down a number of key players tonight, but Rollins and Trent Jr. will be available to handle their typical roles in the Bucks’ backcourt.

Rollins will be unavailable for the third time in Milwaukee’s last four games, and he won’t be the only starter that is sidelined. Andre Jackson Jr. should fill one of the open spots in the starting unit and split the playmaking duties with AJ Green.

Back in the Bucks’ lineup after a two-game absence, Rollins had a good day at the office on Sunday. The Bucks guard has scored at least 24 points in four of his last six appearances, and Rollins shot over 50 percent from the field in Sunday’s victory. The Bucks play four games in Week 24, which is good news for those rostering Rollins in fantasy leagues that will be active.
