Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo recorded another triple-double on Wednesday, finishing with 35 points, 18 rebounds, and 10 assists in the team's 126-116 win over the Cavaliers. Since missing the January 17th game against Cleveland, the former MVP is one assist away from achieving three straight 30-point triple-doubles. He will have a chance to continue this dominant streak on Friday as the Bucks play the Cavaliers again at home. Antetokounmpo is averaging 31.3 points, 11.7 rebounds, and 6.2 assists in 35 minutes per game this year.
Philadelphia 76ers point guard Patrick Beverley (illness) is set to return to action Thursday versus Indiana. The veteran has missed the past two games with an illness but isn't on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game. Beverley has had an elevated role lately due to the absence of De'Anthony Melton (back), who will continue to sit on Thursday. From a fantasy perspective, it's an excellent matchup for Beverley and the Sixers, as the Pacers play an up-tempo game and allow the third-most points per game in the league.
Milwaukee Bucks big man Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) is listed as probable to play Wednesday against the Cavaliers. The former MVP was active on Monday after missing the team's game before that against Cleveland. He seemed like his normal self, scoring 31 points with 17 rebounds and 10 assists against the Pistons. Over the last two seasons, he averages 33 points and 13 rebounds per game against the Cavaliers. Wednesday will be the first game the Bucks play with new coach Doc Rivers, and it will be interesting to see how it changes the way the Bucks play. Antetokounmpo is a strong option in any format if he suits up.
Los Angeles Lakers forward Taurean Prince will move into the starting five ahead of Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. As expected, Prince will join the starting five with LeBron James (ankle) ruled out for this game. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried about James as this is likely more of a rest game than a serious issue. Regardless, Prince will draw the start and have increased fantasy value. He's normally good for about 10 points per game with a handful of rebounds. Fantasy managers should consider Prince a low-end streaming option for Tuesday's slate.
Los Angeles Lakers forward Taurean Prince (knee) isn't on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's clash versus the Clippers, meaning he should be back in the lineup after sitting out one game. Price was absent on Sunday against Portland due to left knee soreness. The veteran should assume his usual role in the starting unit on Tuesday, bumping Rui Hachimura back to the bench. Prince has been a solid three-and-D guy for the Lakers this season, averaging 9.8 points and 2.8 rebounds in 30.6 minutes with 38.7 percent shooting from deep.
