Jericho

Sims

While his numbers did not jump off the page, Sims had his most productive season as a pro in 2025-26. Appearing in 67 games, he averaged 5.0 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.6 assists, shooting 78.4 percent from the field and 64.0 percent from the foul line. Sims’ playing time picked up down the stretch as the Bucks fell off the pace for a postseason spot, and there were also times when he played more due to Myles Turner’s rebounding struggles. If the Bucks were to move on from Turner, there may be more opportunities for Sims, even with the addition of Kel’el Ware via the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade.

Nance will miss a second straight game to wrap up the season. Jericho Sims played 30 minutes on Friday but should play even more minutes with Myles Turner (ankle) out as well. Nance has a non-guaranteed $2.49 million contract in places for 2026-27 with the Bucks. Major changes are coming here, so it’s hard to project his role, but it’s possible he could be a reserve for the team next year.

Turner is off the injury report after sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the Pistons. His return likely pushes Jericho Sims to the bench one game after recording his first career triple-double.

Portis will miss a tenth straight game on Friday, with his last appearance occurring on March 23. Pete Nance and Jericho Sims have seen their minutes increase recently, with the latter recording his first triple-double in Wednesday’s loss to the Pistons.

Sims achieved a career first in Wednesday’s defeat, a triple-double. The Bucks’ lost season has created more opportunities for the athletic center to show what he’s capable of, especially on nights when Myles Turner is unavailable. Sims played 38 minutes against the Pistons, with his stat line only lacking a blocked shot. He has a team option for next season worth just over $2.8 million; we’ll see if Sims has done enough for the Bucks to pick it up.

Turner and Kuz sat out Tuesday’s matchup with Brooklyn, and they’ll both miss the second leg of Milwaukee’s back-to-back set. Jericho Sims and Pete Nance could see significant frontcourt minutes.

The Bucks won’t have Ryan Rollins, Kyle Kuzma or Myles Turner for Tuesday’s game. Prince, Nance and Sims move into the starting lineup, with Prince offering the highest ceiling for those in active fantasy leagues.

Turner will be unavailable, which opens up a starting spot down low. Either Jericho Sims or Pete Nance will fill the void, though both should take on extra minutes.

Sims’s availability will help boost the Bucks’ rebounding, as he’s coming off a 20-rebound performance in Wednesday’s game against the Rockets. He won’t provide much value elsewhere as far as fantasy basketball is concerned, however.

Rollins’ availability is of greater consequence to fantasy managers, especially since starting center Myles Turner is off the injury report. Rollins’ expected return after missing Wednesday’s loss to the Rockets likely pushes AJ Green to the bench. As for Sims, he grabbed 20 rebounds as the starting center the last time out. He and Turner were starters the last time that both players were available, Tuesday’s win over the Mavericks.
