Ryan Rollins, AJ Green, Kyle Kuzma, Bobby Portis and Myles Turner will start against the 76ers on Tuesday.Portis will enter the starting lineup, which will push Gary Harris to the bench. Harris had started the last two games for the Bucks but didn't offer much value for fantasy managers. Portis should be able to do more in the box score as a starter and could remain in that role with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) sidelined for a while.

AJ Green (illness) is not on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.Green did not play in Friday's loss to the Nuggets, so Gary Harris made a spot start. While he may remain in the rotation, Harris is unlikely to provide the production needed to impact fantasy basketball. As for Green, he's worth picking up since the Bucks need scoring with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) sidelined.

AJ Green (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.Green did not play in Friday's loss to the Nuggets, which led to Gary Harris moving into the starting lineup and playing 28 minutes. Harris did not offer much production in that role, so there's no need to consider streaming him if Green remains out.
