Ryan Rollins, Gary Trent Jr., AJ Green, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Myles Turner against the Knicks on Friday.It won't be Trent that returns to the bench with Giannis back. Trent will remain a starter, while Kyle Kuzma will be pushed to the bench after starting the last eight games. Kuzma will still play a significant role off the bench.
AJ Green shot 6-of-12 from the field in Friday's loss to the Knicks, accumulating 18 points, five rebounds, one assist, two steals and six three-pointers.While Green's production has not made him much more than a specialist within fantasy basketball, he continues to hold down his place within the Bucks' starting lineup. He hit six more three-pointers on Friday, establishing a new season-high. Green finished a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line, and he has provided top-100 value over the past week. Still, he remains a player who's only worth a look from managers seeking three-point production.
AJ Green totaled 12 points (4-of-6 FGs), five rebounds, eight assists, two steals and four three-pointers against the Heat on Wednesday.The sharpshooting guard was productive from beyond the arc, as usual, against Miami. However, his playmaking was the bigger story on Wednesday. Green posted a season-high in assists and came within two assists of his first double-double of the season. There aren't many reasons to believe Green can sustain this level of playmaking over the long term. He likely isn't worth a roster spot in fantasy leagues.
Ryan Rollins, Gary Trent, AJ Green, Kyle Kuzma and Myles Turner will start Wednesday's game against the Heat.The Bucks are without Giannis Antetokounmpo for a fourth straight game, as he continues to recover from a strained groin. Head coach Doc Rivers has decided to go small, moving Trent into the starting lineup. This raises his fantasy ceiling, making the guard worth a look even with nine games on Wednesday's schedule. Jericho Sims and Bobby Portis will come off the bench, with the latter worth streaming despite that role.
AJ Green finished Saturday's loss to the Pistons with 15 points (5-of-12 FGs), two rebounds, two assists and five three-pointers.For the second time this season, Green made five three-pointers in a game on Saturday. He's made at least three in 13 of his 17 appearances, locking down a spot in the Bucks' starting lineup. Green is mainly an option for managers needing points and three-pointers, and he's been consistently productive in those areas. The Bucks play four games during Week 6, starting with the Trail Blazers on Monday.
