Milwaukee

Bucks

Rollins is a late addition to the Bucks’ injury report. If he can’t play, more minutes become available to fellow reserve Kasparas Jakučionis, who was a DNP-CD for Friday’s loss to the Magic.

Dieng started in the Bucks’ last game but will not be available for this one. He replaced Nate Ament in the starting lineup, so there is a good chance Ament returns to the starting unit against Atlanta.

Turner sat out Wednesday against the Lakers, but made it back for Friday’s game against the Magic. The 30-year-old center had a double-double, made four three-pointers and had two steals in the loss. The Bucks will finish out the week Sunday at home against the Hawks.

Turner, who was questionable for Friday’s game after sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the Lakers, is available and will start. As a result, Kel’el Ware will come off the bench. The other change is Dieng, who steps in for Nate Ament.

After starting Tuesday’s loss to the Knicks, Rollins found himself back on the bench with Tyler Herro (knee) available to play. Efficiency was an issue for the Bucks guard, who finished with more turnovers (five) than assists and shot 30 percent from the field. Making matters worse for Rollins was a clash of heads with Lakers guard Collin Sexton with just under seven minutes left in the fourth quarter. Neither player returned to action, which may cast some doubt on Rollins’ availability for Friday’s game against the Magic.

Myles Turner (rest) was given the night off, opening the door for Ware to make his first start of the season. The good news is that the 7-footer blocked three shots. The bad news is that he didn’t do much else in what was an underwhelming performance. Ware played 23 minutes, while Jericho Sims (four rebounds, one assist and one block), who has been out of the rotation on most nights, played 18 minutes. The question now is whether Ware is worth the risk of buying low.

Herro’s knee injury, sustained during Sunday’s loss to the Celtics, sidelined him for just one game. With Herro logging 35 minutes and putting up strong numbers, this was an encouraging performance from the Bucks guard. Based on his ADP, fantasy managers expected Herro to provide middle-round value in nine-cat formats, and he’s lived up to those expectations so far.

After starting each of Milwaukee’s first 11 games, Jaquez was moved to the bench on Wednesday. Given his productivity, that may be a role the Bucks ask Jaquez to take on moving forward. Recording his first 20-point game since October 24 against the 76ers, Jaquez finished with a season-high 25 as part of a solid overall stat line. He was runner-up for NBA Sixth Man of the Year last season, so this isn’t a foreign role for Jaquez. And it may raise his fantasy ceiling if the Bucks continue to bring him off the bench.

Herro is back after a one-game absence, with his return pushing Ryan Rollins to the bench. The other two changes are Ament and Ware, with the former making his first start as an NBA player. Jaime Jaquez Jr. will come off the bench, while Myles Turner (rest) is out.

Herro is back after a one-game absence. His return will likely push Ryan Rollins to the bench.
