Milwaukee Bucks

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) has been upgraded to available ahead of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. As expected, Middleton will play after being listed as probable coming into this contest. However, Middleton has lost his gig in the starting five which could mean slightly less playing time. Middleton has scored double digit points in four straight games, so hopefully he's trending in the right direction. Fantasy managers who have Middleton rostered can get him in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

Milwaukee Bucks guard AJ Green (quad) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He was tagged as questionable coming into this game, but Green has now been downgraded to out. The absence of Green should mean increased playing time for both Andre Jackson Jr. and Ryan Rollins in the rotation. Both players have been playing minutes in the teens this season, so neither has great fantasy value right now. Jackson has been starting recently, so he's the slightly better fantasy option between the two for Sunday's slate.

Milwaukee Bucks forward MarJon Beauchamp (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. This marks the second game in a row that Beauchamp has been forced to miss due to an illness. His absence isn't extremely noteworthy given the fact he's only averaging 4.2 minutes per game this season. The loss of Beauchamp probably won't give anyone much of a boost in the rotation and he remains off the fantasy radar.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is available ahead of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. As expected, Antetokounmpo will play despite his lingering knee issue that he has dealt with throughout the season. He has continued to play well over 30 minutes per game, so fantasy managers should expect Antetokounmpo to have his normal workload on Sunday. In January, Antetokounmpo is averaging 28.1 points, 12.7 rebounds, and 6.2 assists per game. Fantasy managers can lock in Antetokounmpo for Sunday's slate.

Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports that Milwaukee Bucks guard/forwardGary Trent Jr.(hip) has been cleared to play Friday against the Toronto Raptors. Trent Jr. had previously missed three consecutive contests due to a left hip flexor strain. Before the 25-year-old was sidelined, he averaged 11.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 22.5 minutes across his last 10 outings. With Trent Jr. returning, AJ Green will likely see his playing time reduced.
