Ryan Rollins

MIL Guard #13

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Ryan Rollins finished Monday’s loss to the Celtics with five points (2-of-11 FGs), three rebounds, two assists, two steals and one three-pointer.

Rollins was moved to the bench on Monday, the first time that he hasn’t started a game since December 26. And he had a rough night, shooting 1-of-6 from two and 1-of-5 from beyond the arc. Given how well Rollins has played for most of this season, fantasy managers should not be too concerned about Monday’s stat line. The concern is the playing time, as the 24 minutes were the fewest for Rollins since that December 26 loss to the Grizzlies.
Ousmane Dieng

MIL Forward #21

Ousmane Dieng recorded 13 points (5-of-10 FGs), one rebound, two assists and three three-pointers in Monday’s loss to the Celtics.

Dieng was inserted into the Bucks’ starting lineup on Monday, the second start that he’s made since being acquired at the February trade deadline. While the final stat line was decent, Dieng did not do enough to affect fantasy basketball truly. With Dieng starting and Giannis Antetokounmpo returning from a calf strain, there was no room in the rotation for Kyle Kuzma. Monday’s game was the first this season that Kuzma has not appeared in despite being active.
Giannis Antetokounmpo

MIL Forward #34

Giannis Antetokounmpo accounted for 19 points (7-of-18 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), 11 rebounds, two assists and one blocked shot in Monday’s loss to the Celtics.

Having missed five weeks with a strained right calf, the second time this season that he’s suffered that injury, Antetokounmpo was under a minutes limit on Monday. He played 25 minutes against the Celtics, and the fact that the game was a blowout also factored into Giannis’ playing time. The Bucks were above .500 without their best player, but the team’s chemistry appeared off on Monday, an unsurprising development due to the lack of practice time. Antetokounmpo will look to bounce back on Wednesday against the Hawks.
Ousmane Dieng

MIL Forward #21

Kevin Porter Jr., AJ Green, Ousmane Dieng, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Myles Turner will start Monday’s game against the Celtics.

The big news for Milwaukee is that Giannis is back in the lineup after missing over a month with a strained calf. His return means that Kyle Kuzma will head to the bench. The other change to the lineup is Dieng, who replaces Ryan Rollins.
Giannis Antetokounmpo

MIL Forward #34

Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is available for Monday’s game against the Celtics.

Giannis is good to go for Monday’s game, which will be his first since January 23. During his pregame availability, Bucks head coach Doc Rivers said that he expects the former league MVP to be under a minutes restriction, but did not provide an exact number. Giannis’s return means that Kyle Kuzma will come off the bench.
Giannis Antetokounmpo

MIL Forward #34

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is expected to return for Monday’s matchup with the Celtics.

Giannis last played on January 23, so he’ll surely face a minutes restriction in his first game back in over a month. Antetokounmpo’s return should mean less run for Kyle Kuzma and Bobby Portis, but managers rostering Kuz or Portis shouldn’t drop them immediately.
Ryan Rollins

MIL Guard #13

Ryan Rollins accounted for 11 points (5-of-11 FGs), seven rebounds, seven assists, two steals and one three-pointer in Sunday’s loss to the Bulls.

Rollins provided solid value in the rebound and assist categories, continuing to be a solid option for category league managers. The Bucks’ guard continues to hover around the top-50, providing slightly greater value in eight-cat leagues than nine-cat. When Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) returns is unknown, but Rollins’ fantasy value should be fine regardless of what happens with the former league MVP.
Cam Thomas

MIL Guard #24

Cam Thomas shot 3-of-11 from the field and 8-of-10 from the foul line in Sunday’s loss to the Bulls, finishing with 15 points, one rebound, three assists and one three-pointer.

Thomas’ point output was solid, but most of his damage was done at the foul line. The Bucks guard made eight of his ten free throws, but he shot just 2-of-7 from inside the arc. Thomas’ three assists were the most in a game for him since joining the Bucks; he clearly understands his strengths, it’s just a matter of how accurately Cam shoots the basketball.
Bobby Portis

MIL Forward #9

Bobby Portis tallied 18 points (7-of-14 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), five rebounds, one block and three three-pointers in Sunday’s loss to the Bulls.

Portis shot the ball reasonably well on Sunday, but that was the lone positive for him and the Bucks. Milwaukee was on the wrong end of a 27-0 run that spanned the third and fourth quarters, going from leading by as much as 16 to getting run out of the United Center. Portis has a higher fantasy ceiling despite coming off the bench due to Giannis Antetokounmpo’s calf strain. The Bucks open a four-game Week 19 on Monday against the Celtics.
Thanasis Antetokounmpo

MIL Forward #43

Thanasis Antetokounmpo (illness) is out for Sunday’s game against the Bulls.

Added to the Bucks’ injury report late Sunday morning, Antetokounmpo is officially out. His absence does not affect fantasy basketball, as Thanasis is rarely in the Bucks’ rotation.
