Myles

Turner

To no one’s surprise, Antetokounmpo will not play in Sunday’s season finale. Turner is also out, which means more playing time and a likely start for Jericho Sims. Pete Nance is questionable, and his minutes are likely to increase if he can play.

Green, Prince and Dieng are the holdovers from the lineup that started Wednesday’s loss to the Pistons. With Ryan Rollins out, Ryan moves into the starting five, while Turner’s return bumps Jericho Sims to the bench.

Turner is off the injury report after sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the Pistons. His return likely pushes Jericho Sims to the bench one game after recording his first career triple-double.

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.
