Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Monster showing in loss
RotowireAntetokounmpo recorded 40 points (14-20 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 11-16 FT), 14 rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and two steals across 33 minutes during Sunday's 118-113 loss to the Cavaliers.
Although he's been hampered by toe and back issues to open the season, Antetokounmpo appears to be in MVP form for theBucks. The Bucks dropped their first game of the season to bring them down to 2-1 to open the campaign, but Antetokounmpo has been on fire with averages of 36.0 points, 16.0 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.3 three-pointers in 32.5 minutes in that span.

RotowireGreen racked up 20 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 31 minutes during Sunday's 118-113 loss to Cleveland.
Green, who was signed to a four-year, $45 million contract extension over the offseason, is quickly proving his worth to the franchise. Making his third start in a row Sunday, Green once again caught fire from beyond the arc. He looks to be a quality three-point specialist with averages of 13.3 points, 1.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 3.3 three-pointers through the opening three games of the regular season.
... See More... See LessBucks' Ryan Rollins: Fares well as starter
RotowireRollins recorded 14 points (5-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and three steals across 34 minutes during Sunday's 118-113 loss to the Cavaliers.
Rollins made his second start in a row for the injured Kevin Porter (ankle), and he produced his best line of the young season. Through two starts, Rollins has proven his worth as a waiver-wire pickup with averages of 13.5 points, 5.0 assists, 4.5 rebounds, 3.0 steals and 1.0 three-pointers. Fantasy managers can keep throwing him in lineups with Porter's return date in the air.
... See More... See LessBucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Set to play Sunday
RotowireAntetokounmpo (toe) is available for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
Antetokounmpo entered Sunday's matchup listed as probable, so his availability isn't surprising, though it's reassuring to get confirmation that the toe injury won't limit him. The superstar has started the season strong for theBucks, opening with back-to-back 30-point double-doubles.
... See More... See LessBucks' Kyle Kuzma: Ruled out Sunday
RotowireKuzma (ankle) has been ruled out Sunday against the Cavaliers, Ethan Sands of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Kuzma will not play due to a left ankle sprain he suffered Friday against the Raptors. With the veteran forward out, Taurean Prince and Bobby Portis should receive a slight uptick in usage. Kuzma's next chance to play will be Tuesday against the Knicks.
... See More... See LessBucks' Cole Anthony: Won't play Sunday
RotowireAnthony (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
Anthony was added to the injury report earlier Sunday due to an illness and will ultimately be sidelined. His absence will place more responsibility on Ryan Rollins at point guard and may increase the ball-handling duties for Giannis Antetokounmpo (toe).
... See More... See LessBucks' Kyle Kuzma: Downgraded to doubtful
RotowireKuzma (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
Kuzma, who was initially listed as questionable, has been downgraded to doubtful due to a left ankle sprain and now appears unlikely to play Sunday. The forward is averaging 10.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks through two games, and his expected absence would open the door for Taurean Prince and Bobby Portis to take on larger frontcourt roles off the bench.
... See More... See LessBucks' Cole Anthony: Iffy with illness Sunday
RotowireAnthony (illness) is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Cavaliers.
Anthony took on an expanded role in Friday's win over the Raptors, finishing with 23 points (9-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-7 FT), seven assists, four rebounds and two steals in 27 minutes. His playing time appeared poised to stay elevated with Kevin Porter (ankle) sidelined, but if Anthony is unable to go, Ryan Rollins will be tasked with handling the majority of the point-guard duties.
... See More... See LessBucks' Kyle Kuzma: Questionable for Sunday
RotowireKuzma (ankle) is questionable to play in Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Kuzma suffered a sprained left ankle in Friday's game against the Raptors. He didn't return to the game after going down. If the veteran forward can't play Sunday, the team will likely pivot to Taurean Prince to help shoulder the load.
... See More... See LessBucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Likely to play Sunday
RotowireAntetokounmpo (toe) is listed as probable to play in Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Antetokounmpo continues to nurse a toe injury, but that won't keep him off the floor Sunday. The superstar big man is coming off an incredible performance in the win over the Raptors on Friday, finishing with 31 points, 20 rebounds and seven assists. He doesn't seem to be too bothered by the injury.
... See More... See LessBucks' Amir Coffey: Plays just three minutes in win
RotowireCoffey missed his only field goal attempt and did not record a stat over three minutes in Friday's 122-116 win over Toronto.
It appears Coffey's playing time will hinge on game script, since he played 13 minutes against Washington, which entered blowout territory late in the second half. Depending on the severity of Kevin Porter's ankle injury, Coffey will likely only see meaningful playing time if other players in the rotation are unavailable.
... See More... See LessBucks' Taurean Prince: Muted offensive performance in win
RotowirePrince scored three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and added three rebounds, three assists and a steal over 21 minutes in Friday's 122-116 win over Toronto.
Prince was unable to follow up Wednesday's performance, making just one field goal. His value is largely dependent on how efficient he is from the field, which does not deem him a consistent fantasy option at the moment.
... See More... See LessBucks' Bobby Portis: Nears double-double in win
RotowirePortis dropped 11 points (5-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt) and eight rebounds over 21 minutes in Friday's 122-116 victory over the Raptors.
Portis has not shot the ball well, averaging 31.6 percent from the field and 20 percent from three to begin the season. However, the volume is certainly there, and he has been able to provide value in rebounds, meaning once Portis is able to get back on track regarding his efficiency, he may be a streaming option to monitor moving forward.
... See More... See LessBucks' AJ Green: Drains three triples again
RotowireGreen posted nine points (3-5 FG, 3-5 3Pt), a rebound and a steal over 26 minutes in Friday's 122-116 win over the Raptors.
Green has made three three-pointers in back-to-back games and is shooting at an insane 60 percent clip from beyond the arc to start the season. While his efficiency will not be sustainable long-term, it's great to see Green involved with Milwaukee's offense, and he will be an elite source of three-pointers for fantasy managers all season long.
... See More... See LessBucks' Myles Turner: Subpar offensive performance in win
RotowireTurner dropped four points (2-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and a steal across 28 minutes in Friday's 122-116 victory over Toronto.
Turner has not been able to find his rhythm offensively, making only six of 20 field goal attempts and shooting an abysmal 18.2 percent from three in his first two games with Milwaukee. However, he has been able to salvage his muted offensive output, recording five total blocks and 13 rebounds in those two games. Turner's next chance to bounce back would be Sunday against the Cavaliers.
... See More... See LessBucks' Gary Trent: Connects on four three-pointers
RotowireTrent finished Friday's 122-116 win over the Raptors with 20 points (7-15 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds and four assists over 29 minutes.
Trent was one of threeBucks players to score 20-plus points in Friday's win, and most of his damage came from deep with four triples. The eight-year pro is off to a nice start to the season, averaging 18.5 points while going 9-for-22 from deep through the first two games. Trent's role in the offense could expand even more if Kyle Kuzma is sidelined due to an ankle sprain that he sustained in the fourth quarter of Friday's game.
... See More... See LessBucks' Cole Anthony: Extended run vs. Toronto
RotowireAnthony finished with 23 points (9-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-7 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 27 minutes during Friday's 122-116 victory over the Raptors.
After logging just 12 minutes during Wednesday's win against the Wizards, Anthony saw his playing time jump to 27 minutes Friday, 11 of which came in the fourth quarter that coincided with Kyle Kuzma leaving the game due to an ankle injury. Anthony made his minutes count, dishing seven dimes while tallying nine of his 23 points in the fourth quarter to lead the bench in scoring and finished second on theBucks behind Giannis Antetokounmpo (30). Ryan Rollins entered the starting lineup in the absence of Kevin Porter, and Anthony's minutes would be elevated against the Cavaliers on Sunday if Kuzma is not cleared to play.
... See More... See LessBucks' Ryan Rollins: Chips in 13 points as starter
RotowireRollins produced 13 points (5-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals over 30 minutes during Friday's 122-116 win over the Raptors.
After coming off the bench Opening Night against the Wizards on Wednesday, Rollins was inserted into the starting lineup to replace the injured Kevin Porter (ankle). Rollins finished as theBucks' leader in steals and finished fourth on the team in scoring. An early area of concern has been his three-point shooting; after connecting on 40.8 percent of his triples last season, he is 2-for-11 from deep to start this season. Rollins could make a second consecutive start Sunday against the Cavaliers if Porter is not cleared to return.
