Tyler Herro (knee) questionable vs. Los Angeles

The Bucks didn’t have Tyler Herro for Tuesday’s game, so Rollins made his first start since Halloween. While the production was solid, he logged 24 minutes, with Kasparas Jakučionis (11 points, four assists, one steal and two three-pointers) playing 23 minutes off the bench. If Herro remains out for Wednesday’s game against the Lakers, Rollins may still have some value in 12-team leagues. That said, his recent move to the bench and reduced minutes are a major concern for managers who selected Rollins with a middle-round pick.

The Bucks won’t have Tyler Herro for Tuesday’s game, as he’s out with a leg injury. Rollins returns to the starting lineup for the first time since Halloween, which raises his short-term fantasy ceiling.

Herro injured his leg during Sunday’s loss to the Celtics and will not play on Tuesday. Herro’s absence could mean Ryan Rollins returns to the starting lineup, raising his fantasy ceiling.

Herro suffered an injury scare during Sunday’s loss to the Celtics but returned to the game after a quick trip to the locker room. If he can’t play on Tuesday, Ryan Rollins could return to the starting lineup after being replaced by rookie Brayden Burries.

Herro has been one of the more consistent, upper-echelon scoring threats in the league this season, averaging a cool 22 points per-game. This was a rare off-night from long range as he connected on just 1-of-5 from downtown after shooting over 40 percent through the first eight games of the year. There’s almost zero competition for shots in Milwaukee, which means that Herro should have the green light any time he’s on the floor.

Coming off the bench for a second straight game, Rollins played seven more minutes than he did in Monday’s loss to the Timberwolves. His final line against the Celtics was solid, with four turnovers being the only issue. However, while the increased playing time is encouraging, the Bucks’ pivot to lottery pick Brayden Burries (9/5/3/1 in 22 minutes) is concerning for fantasy managers who used a middle-round pick on Rollins.

Over eight games, things have gone the way many fantasy managers hoped for regarding Herro. He’s scored 21+ points on six occasions and is providing fifth-round value in 12-team leagues. Herro didn’t record any steals against the Celtics, but he’s averaging one per game this season.

Herro was hardly efficient on Monday with 21 points on 18 attempts. He made four three-pointers and added three steals on the defensive end. Herro has scored at least 21 points in five of seven games with the Bucks to start the season. Milwaukee will travel to Boston for a road matchup against the Celtics Wednesday.

Burries will get the first start of his career, with Ryan Rollins heading to the bench. There isn’t any injury reason for Rollins to head to the bench, so this could be a permanent move, which would bode well for Burries’ value.

This wasn’t Herro’s best night, as he shot 1-of-7 from inside the arc. While the four three-pointers will please some fantasy managers, the overall output was disappointing. However, given the gap between the Bucks and Cavaliers, it wasn’t all that surprising. Herro will look to bounce back on Monday when the Bucks visit the Timberwolves. Milwaukee plays four games next week.
