Harris is dealing with left hip soreness and finds himself listed as questionable for Thursday’s game against the Wizards. The Pistons also take on the Knicks on Friday on the second game of a back-to-back. It’s at least possible the Pistons hold Harris out Thursday, saving him for the more important matchup. Isaiah Stewart or Ron Holland II could move into the starting lineup if Harris is ultimately ruled out.

Porter Jr.'s second game back from injury was even more impressive than his first. He flirted with a triple-double while leading Milwaukee in scoring along the way. Poor three-point shooting on Friday was about the only blemish, which is a notable one, as he’s now gone 0-of-13 from deep over his last four appearances. If Porter Jr. can regain his form from beyond the arc, it’ll only make him a more valuable fantasy basketball option going forward.

Rollins extended his streak of 20-point games to four on Friday, utilizing the three-point shot to land most of his scoring production, while joining Kevin Porter Jr. and Bobby Portis as the only Bucks players to reach the 20-point mark against the Pacers. Rollins has played many different roles and been cast into a variety of starting lineups this season, but has remained productive through it all. Given his sustained success, there’s no reason for fantasy managers to think Rollins won’t remain productive past the All-Star Break and beyond.

The Bucks secured a third straight win on Friday, with Portis’ scoring playing a key role. In his return from a two-game absence, he finished as one of three Bucks players to score at least 20 points, as he used efficient shooting to reach his high point total. The veteran forward, with Kyle Kuzma (calf) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) both currently sidelined, will continue to function as one of Milwaukee’s most reliable frontcourt options. His offensive production may be key against the Magic on Monday.
