Rotoworld Player News

Bobby Portis

MIL Forward #9

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Bobby Portis had 15 points (6-of-11 FGs), 12 rebounds, three assists, four steals and three three-pointers in Thursday’s win over the Thunder.

Portis showed again Thursday why he leads all active bench players in double-doubles with 15 points and 12 rebounds in the win over the Thunder. The 31-year-old small forward seems to be over his hip injury. With the All-Star break approaching, Portis and the Bucks are off until Friday, February 20 against the Pelicans.
Ousmane Dieng

MIL Forward #21

Ousmane Dieng had 19 points (7-of-12 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), 11 rebounds, six assists, one steal, four blocks and three three-pointers in the Bucks’ 110-93 victory over the Thunder on Thursday.

Dieng has struggled to produce or see minutes consistently this season, but has flashed a high-ceiling in the last two games. The 22-year-old small forward followed up a 17-point performance in 23 minutes in the win against the Magic on Wednesday with a full stat line in the win over the Thunder on Thursday. Dieng had 19 points and was just four assists shy of a triple-double while also contributing on the defensive end with a steal and four blocks. He also made three three-pointers. The Bucks deciding to keep giving him more minutes could lead to more games like this in the future.
Ousmane Dieng

MIL Forward #21

Bucks will start Kevin Porter Jr., AJ Green, Ousmane Dieng, Kyle Kuzma and Jericho Sims against the Thunder on Thursday.

With Myles Turner (calf) a late scratch Thursday, Dieng will move into the starting lineup as the only change for the Bucks. The 22-year-old small forward had 17 points in 23 minutes off the bench in Wednesday’s win over the Magic.
Myles Turner

MIL Center-Forward #3

Myles Turner (calf) is out for Thursday’s game against the Thunder.

Turner wasn’t on the initial injury report, but was a late scratch with right calf soreness. Ousmane Dieng had 17 points in 23 minutes in Wednesday’s win over the Magic and could be in for even more minutes with Turner out Thursday against the Thunder, Dieng’s former team.
Kyle Kuzma

MIL Forward #18

Kyle Kuzma (foot) is available for Thursday’s game against the Thunder.

Kuzma returned from a calf injury earlier this week, only to find himself back on the injury report with a foot injury. Initially listed as questionable for Thursday’s game against the Thunder, Kuzma was ruled in. He had 15 points, seven rebounds and two assists in Wednesday’s win over the Magic.
Ryan Rollins

MIL Guard #13

Ryan Rollins (foot) is out for Thursday’s game against the Thunder.

Rollins is set to miss his second consecutive game with right foot plantar fasciitis. With the 23-year-old guard out Wednesday against the Magic, Cam Thomas stepped up and dropped 34 points in the victory. Thomas could be in for another big performance with Rollins out, though it’s a more difficult matchup as the Thunder lead the league in defensive efficiency.
Ryan Rollins

MIL Guard #13

Ryan Rollins (foot) is questionable for Thursday’s matchup with the Thunder.

Rollins sat out Wednesday’s matchup with Orlando, but he’s got a chance to return for the second leg of Milwaukee’s back-to-back set. If Rollins ultimately sits out, Cam Thomas could be in for another big performance. Thomas dropped 34 points against the Magic and hit a key triple late in the game to seal the victory.
Kyle Kuzma

MIL Forward #18

Kyle Kuzma (foot) is questionable for Thursday’s matchup with the Thunder.

Kuz is back on the injury report, but this time, it’s for a foot issue. If he’s unable to take the court for the Bucks’ final game before the All-Star break, Ousmane Dieng should see a bump in playing time.
Kevin Porter

MIL Guard-Forward #7

Kevin Porter Jr. recorded a triple-double on Wednesday with 18 points (5-of-14 FGs), 10 rebounds, 11 assists, two blocks and one three-pointer against the Magic.

KPJ’s play dwindled in January, but his first four games back after missing time with an oblique injury have been excellent. He has averaged 21.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 8.8 assists and 2.3 steals per game, which has helped the shorthanded Bucks remain competitive. As long as Giannis Antetokounmpo remains out, KPJ should be productive as a high-usage player, and he was able to record his second triple-double of the season in this game.
Cam Thomas

MIL Guard #24

Cam Thomas led the Bucks with 34 points (12-of-20 FGs), four rebounds, two assists and four three-pointers in a 116-108 win over the Magic on Wednesday.

Thomas only played 13 minutes against Orlando on Monday, but he took on a larger role in the rematch and was far more productive. His role dwindled over the final weeks of his Nets’ tenure, but in his second game with Milwaukee, he had his highest-scoring game since October. If Thomas is able to continue to play this well after the All-Star break, he may be able to secure a long-term deal this summer and be a strong option for fantasy managers down the stretch.
