Milwaukee Bucks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis (rest) will be available to play in Friday's contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The 29-year-old was originally listed as questionable on earlier injury reports but will be active for this game. Fantasy managers will be happy to see Portis on the court, as he is coming off a dominant performance on Wednesday, scoring 30 points and securing nine rebounds while recording five steals against the Orlando Magic. Damian Lillard (adductor) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) are not playing, which will likely create plenty of opportunities for Portis.

Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (rest) will be available to play in Friday's contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The 36-year-old appeared as questionable on the injury report earlier but has now been cleared to take the court. He has scored in double figures in five straight games and will likely have more opportunities to score in this match-up since the Bucks will be without Damian Lillard (adductor) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf). Lopez has also been busy on the defensive end, recording at least two blocks in each of his previous four games.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The star guard was considered as doubtful coming into this game, but the team will ultimately hold him out. This is not good news for the Bucks as this team is already shorthanded. The expectation is that the Bucks will use a committee approach to fill the void left by Lillard. Patrick Beverley, Pat Connaughton, and Malik Beasley figure to all see more playing time. Out of the three, Beverley has the most upside in terms of streaming appeal.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (ankle) won't play on Friday versus the Bulls. He'll now miss a fourth consecutive contest, and with the Wizards down to two games left in the 2023-24 campaign, his season is likely over. With Tyus Jones (back) out and Jordan Poole (illness) questionable, Deni Advija and Corey Kispert may be the go-to offensive options for the Wizards on Friday night. There would also be room for Anthony Gill and Patrick Baldwin Jr. to get more involved, with the duo combining for 30 points in Tuesday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Gary Trent Jr. (back) is listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Friday's encounter with Miami. He also carried the designation on Wednesday due to back spasms prior to a meeting with Brooklyn, and Trent Jr. ended up missing the game. The Raptors have nothing left to play for, which could be affecting the team's lineup choices for the final few regular-season games. Youngsters Gradey Dick and Ochai Agbaji have gotten a lot of burn in recent times to aid their development, and they should be in big roles again on Friday if the team can't get any of its injured guys back.
