Rotoworld Player News

Bobby Portis

MIL Forward #9

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Bobby Portis had 27 points (11-of-13 FGs), 10 rebounds, one steal and five three-pointers against the Celtics on Thursday.

Portis is averaging 11.2 points per game this year, but with Giannis Antetokounmpo out of the lineup he’s put up at least 22 points in two of his last three games. The 30-year-old power forward was very efficient with 27 points on 13 attempts and five made three-pointers. He’s still in a reserve scoring role, but with Giannis sidelined there’s more of a runway for Portis to hit his ceiling.
Kevin Porter

MIL Guard-Forward #7

Kevin Porter Jr. had 18 points (6-of-10 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), 10 rebounds, 13 assists, one steal and one three-pointer against the Celtics on Thursday.

There’s a lot of slack to pick up with Giannis Antetokounmpo out of the lineup. That’s certainly playing into some of the numbers Porter and his teammates have put up recently, not that fantasy managers are complaining. Porter was one assist and three rebounds shy of a triple-double last week against the 76ers. He was able to pull of the triple-double Thursday against the Celtics, but the bigger takeaway is Porter has consistently put up solid numbers this year and Giannis being out has only added to has value in the short-term.
Kyle Kuzma

MIL Forward #18

Kyle Kuzma had 31 points (13-of-17 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), six rebounds, one block and one three-pointer in the Bucks’ 116-101 victory over the Celtics on Thursday.

Kuzma started, played 31 minutes and led the Bucks to victory with 31 points while Giannis Antetokoumnpo and AJ Green were sidelined. This was the best case scenario for fantasy managers that used the 30-year-old power forward as a deep league streamer. Kuzma will only return to a reserve role Sunday against the Nets if his teammates are off the injury report.
Gary Trent

MIL Guard #5

Ryan Rollins, Kevin Porter Jr., Gary Trent Jr., Kyle Kuzma and Myles Turner will start Thursday’s game against the Celtics.

Already without Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Bucks also won’t have AJ Green again due to a shoulder injury. Trent moves into the starting lineup for Thursday’s game, with Jericho Sims being moved to the bench. While he doesn’t possess the highest fantasy ceiling, Trent is worth a look in deep leagues due to the opportunity.
AJ Green

MIL Guard #20

AJ Green (shoulder) is out for Thursday’s game against the Celtics.

Initially questionable for Thursday’s game, Green has officially been ruled out. Kyle Kuzma should remain in the starting lineup, with Gary Trent Jr. providing additional depth off the bench.
Taurean Prince

MIL Forward #12

Bucks forward Taurean Price said there is no timeline on his rehab after he underwent herniated disk neck surgery in November.

Prince spoke to reporters on Thursday for the first time since surgery. He admitted that “the only way to hoop again was to get the surgery.” He said he is “100 percent” certain that he’s going to play again, but there is no timeline for his return. At this point, Prince is just thankful that he’s “still here to speak and be able to have an opportunity to hoop again.”
AJ Green

MIL Guard #20

AJ Green (shoulder) is questionable for Thursday’s game against the Celtics.

Green hasn’t played since injuring his shoulder in last Friday’s game against the Pistons. Bucks coach Doc Rivers told reporters Green could be available on Thursday. If he’s out again, expect Kyle Kuzma to start and Gary Trent Jr. to play significant minutes off the bench.
AJ Green

MIL Guard #20

AJ Green (shoulder) missed practice on Tuesday, but Bucks coach Doc Rivers said he could play against the Celtics on Thursday.

Green missed Saturday’s game after injuring his shoulder on Friday, which allowed Kyle Kuzma to start in his place and log while 29 minutes, and for Gary Trent Jr. to also play 29 minutes off the bench. If Green returns, Kuz will return to a reserve role, and both will lose out on minutes.
Ryan Rollins

MIL Guard #13

Ryan Rollins recorded 10 points (4-of-14 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, six assists and one three-pointer in Saturday’s loss to the Pistons.

Rollins had a rough night shooting the basketball, and he’s gone 10-of-27 from the field in the two full games the Bucks have played since losing Giannis Antetokounmpo to a strained calf. While the former MVP’s absence means increased usage for players like Rollins, it also means increased attention from opposing defenses. The Bucks will play twice in Week 8 and have four games in Weeks 8 and 9 for those competing in leagues that will combine the two weeks due to the NBA Cup.
Kyle Kuzma

MIL Forward #18

Kyle Kuzma accounted for 15 points (5-of-12 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one three-pointer in Saturday’s loss to the Pistons.

With AJ Green (shoulder) joining Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) on the sidelines, Kuzma was tabbed to move into the starting lineup. While he wasn’t great, things could have been worse for those familiar with the forward’s recent fantasy history. Kuzma’s final stat line only lacked a block, and he shot just under 50 percent from the field. With Green likely missing multiple games, Kuzma will have some value in deep leagues despite the track record.
