Milwaukee Bucks
Eastern Central
Damian Lillard filled the stat sheet for the Bucks Sunday, dishing out five assists, recording one steal, grabbing three rebounds, and scoring 22 points (8-17 FG, 2-7 3PT, 4-5 FT) in a 140-106 loss to the Knicks.
Fantasy Impact: Lillard continues a dynamic stretch on the offensive end of the floor, finishing with three or more assists and 16 or more points in each of his last five games. The veteran guard continues to form a dominant tandem in the Milwaukee starting five with fellow superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, averaging 24.8 points, 7.3 assists, and 4.4 rebounds per game while posting a 27.4% usage rate so far this season.

Giannis Antetokounmpo posted a double-double for the Bucks Sunday, grabbing 13 rebounds and scoring 24 points (10-21 FG, 0-1 3PT, 4-10 FT) while also blocking one shot and dishing out two assists in a 140-106 loss to the Knicks.
Fantasy Impact: Antetokounmpo continues an impactful stretch on both ends of the floor, scoring 11 or more points and grabbing 11 or more rebounds in each of his last five games. The superstar forward continues to provide fantasy managers with an elite lineup option while leading the Milwaukee starting five on a nightly basis, averaging 31.4 points, 6.0 assists, and 11.9 rebounds per game while carrying a usage rate of 35.9% so far this season.

AJ Green scored 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3PT) and dished out one assists in Wednesday's 121-105 win over the San Antonio Spurs.
Fantasy Impact: Green came off of the bench on Wednesday and saw 25 minutes of action against San Antonio. He played relatively well in that time, scoring 14 points on good efficiency and finishing with a +18 +/-. He remains a quality streaming option for the foreseeable future.

Brook Lopez put up 22 points (8-17 FG, 5-11 3PT, 1-1 FT) to go with seven rebounds and two blocks in Wednesday's 121-105 win over the San Antonio Spurs.
Fantasy Impact: Lopez played extremely well on Wednesday, even outside of the 22 points that he scored. He had to help guard Victor Wembanyama for a good portion of the game, and he helped to hold him to just ten points on the night. Fantasy managers should feel good about this performance from the veteran, even if his production was felt more in real life than on the box score.

Andre Jackson Jr. (back) is expected to play in Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: The Bucks are listing Jackson on their injury report for Friday's game due to a back injury, but he should be able to play through it. He isn't a heavy contributor in Milwaukee's rotation, however, so he doesn't project to be a strong fantasy option against San Antonio.

Bobby Portis tallied 20 points (8-12 FG, 4-6 3PT), seven rebounds, and three assists over 23 minutes in the victory against Toronto.
Fantasy Impact: Portis's scoring surge off the bench highlights his value as a versatile contributor. His ability to stretch the floor with three-point shooting adds depth to the Bucks' offense. Fantasy managers in need of scoring and rebounding should consider Portis a valuable asset, especially in deeper leagues.
