Myles

Turner

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.

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.

Given the current state of the Grizzlies’ roster, especially in the frontcourt, many fantasy managers hoped to get a big-time performance out of Turner. He was good, recording his fourth double-double of the season and first since January 29. Turner also recorded four defensive contributions against the Grizzlies. Sunday aside, this has been a disappointing season for the Bucks and the center they signed in free agency. Hopefully, Turner will bring more to the table in 2026-27.

Turner and Kuzma are back after sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the Rockets, which was Milwaukee’s second game in as many nights. Their returns will push Ousmane Dieng and Pete Nance to the bench, but both should continue to play rotation minutes due to the Bucks’ many injuries.

Turner will be sidelined for the second leg of this back-to-back, which should allow Jericho Sims to get the start at center. Sims has been starting alongside turner, so Pete Nance and Ousmane Dieng should enter the starting unit, with Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) sidelined as well.

After missing Sunday’s contest against the Clippers, Turner appears ready to take the floor again for the Bucks, who were recently eliminated from playoff contention. Turner’s first season in Milwaukee has been an unspectacular one, averaging 11.9 points and 5.3 rebounds per game. Yet, he’ll still have a chance to close the season strong and provide some value to fantasy managers during Championship Week.

Turner will not play on Sunday, as it is Milwaukee’s second game in as many days, and he’s dealing with right patella tendinopathy. Jericho Sims has been his replacement in the starting lineup in the past, and that may be the case on Sunday. Sims isn’t a lock to provide reliable fantasy value, of course, but Milwaukee’s lack of depth means he should play plenty.

Having returned to the Bucks’ lineup on Saturday after a one-game absence, Turner is dealing with right patella tendinopathy. If he can’t play against the Clippers, Jericho Sims would likely return to the starting five. Saturday’s loss to the Spurs did not officially eliminate the Bucks from postseason contention, but they would need an undefeated run the rest of the way and an epic collapse by one of the teams ahead of them to earn a play-in spot. There’s little need to risk Turner at this stage.

Back in the lineup after missing Wednesday’s loss to the Trail Blazers, Turner put forth a respectable showing against the Spurs. It wasn’t enough to keep Milwaukee from getting blown out, but fantasy managers will take the complete stat line. There’s no sugarcoating the fact that this season has been a disappointment for Turner, who the Bucks signed to a four-year deal last summer. The Bucks host the Clippers on Sunday in their final game of Week 22.

Turner is back for the Bucks, with his return pushing Jericho Sims to the bench. The other change to the lineup is Trent, who makes his first start since December 18. He replaces AJ Green, who can provide three-point shooting off the bench.
