Amir

Coffey

The veteran guard has been a consistent part of the Bucks’ rotation off the bench, though he’s currently averaging the fewest points and minutes per game of his career. In his absence, Amir Coffey could be the recipient of a boost in minutes, while Gary Trent Jr. may see even more opportunities than usual.

Added to the Bucks’ injury report on Sunday morning, Anthony will not be available for the first matchup of the season with the Cavaliers. With Kevin Porter Jr. (ankle) already out, Ryan Rollins becomes an even more important option, and he is worth streaming. Amir Coffey should play more minutes, but he is not worth the risk in fantasy leagues. Giannis Antetokounmpo will likely be more of an initiator on offense with the Bucks down a few ballhandlers.

Two days removed from a stellar 24-point performance against the Raptors, Anthony was added to the Bucks’ injury report on Sunday due to an illness. While he did not replace Kevin Porter Jr. (ankle) in the lineup on Friday, Anthony has added importance to the Bucks’ rotation in KPJ’s absence. Amir Coffey, who logged three minutes against Toronto, may have to play more if Anthony joins Porter on the sideline. Coffey would not be worth the streaming risk.

Initially reported as a one-year agreement, Coffey has agreed to a non-guaranteed training camp deal. Not selected in the 2019 draft, he spent his first six seasons with the Clippers, averaging 6.7 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.0 three-pointers in 18.4 minutes per game. Last season, Coffey shot nearly 41 percent from three on 3.4 attempts per game while also averaging a career-best 9.7 points.

Due to a knee injury, Coffey has not appeared in a game since March 30. While he should play rotation minutes off the bench, the Clippers’ wing is unlikely to get the opportunities needed to impact active fantasy leagues.

Simmons will not be available for Wednesday’s game for injury management reasons. He logged 15 minutes off the bench in Tuesday’s win over the Spurs. Coffey will miss a sixth straight game with an inflamed left knee. The absences likely mean a few more minutes for Nicolas Batum, and Kawhi Leonard can also absorb the available playing time.

Both wings will remain sidelined for another game, and there isn’t a clear timeline for when either will return. Derrick Jones Jr. will continue to take on a few extra minutes off the bench, but with Kawhi Leonard available, that isn’t a large enough role for him to provide value in standard-sized leagues.

The continued absences of Coffey and Miller will not impact fantasy basketball, as everyone else of note is available. Coffey’s absence may result in additional minutes for Derrick Jones Jr., but he offers limited fantasy upside with Kawhi Leonard in the lineup.

Amir Coffey (knee) is out. Kris Dunn and Derrick Jones Jr. could see additional minutes if Bogdanovic is sidelined, but with Kawhi Leonard back, LA could tighten up its rotation against a formidable Magic team.

Coffey played four minutes before exiting Sunday’s game with a sore left knee. The Clippers were already without Kawhi Leonard, so they’ll finish the game down two rotation wings. Bogdan Bogdanovic should log additional minutes for the Clippers, who visit the Magic on Monday.
