Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (personal) remains out on Sunday against the Utah Jazz. Lopez didn't suit up on Saturday versus the Dallas Mavericks, allowing Robin Lopez to take his spot in the starting lineup. However, Bobby Portis, who had a double-double in 31 minutes, is the one who should benefit the most. With Damian Lillard (ankle) questionable and Khris Middleton resting, there could also be room for Malik Beasley and Jae Crowder to get involved enough to make a difference for fantasy managers.
Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (knee) is out for Sunday's matchup against the Utah Jazz. No surprise here, as the veteran has routinely sat out one game of back-to-back contests for most of the year. With Brook Lopez (personal) still out and Damian Lillard (ankle) questionable, Giannis Antetokounmpo may do most of the heavy lifting versus the Jazz. At the same time, Malik Beasley, Jae Crowder, and Bobby Portis could be worthwhile DFS value options.
Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (personal) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The veteran big man will miss this game due to personal reasons. Hopefully, everything is okay with Lopez and this will be a one-game absence. In the meantime, Robin Lopez will draw the start during Saturday's game. He doesn't have much upside outside of rebounding. Bobby Portis is the much better streaming option for Saturday's slate.
Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Khris Middleton (knee) didn't suit up for their game on Saturday against the New Orleans Pelicans since he's still not playing both games of a back-to-back right now. The team is still trying to load manage his knee to make sure he's healthy come playoff time. He has since been removed from the injury report and will take the floor against the Denver Nuggets on Monday night. The 32-year-old may not be enjoying the same level of a season that he's used to, but over the last four games, he's averaged 20.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.8 steals, 1.3 turnovers, and 2.0 made threes per game. He's still a playable player in all fantasy leagues and formats whenever he's healthy.
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) popped up on the injury report with back spasms, but they don't seem to be severe since the team listed him as probable on Friday. The superstar forward has appeared on the injury report a handful of times this year, but has only missed two games. Fantasy managers have been able to count on Antetokounmpo more often this season and now that the Bucks have brought in Doc Rivers as their new head coach, we may see an even better offensive output. There could also be some growing pains at first, so his results may be a mixed bag for a few weeks. With that being said, Antetokounmpo remains a must-play in all formats.
