Giannis Antetokounmpo - Iffy for Thursday Antetokounmpo (thigh) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Jazz, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Impact Antetokounmpo missed his first game of the season Monday due to an adductor strain and could be sidelined again Thursday. If that's the case, Bobby Portis would likely draw another start.

Khris Middleton - Officially out Thursday Middleton (ankles) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Utah, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Impact Middleton will progress to 3-on-3 work Thursday, but his soonest opportunity to take the court will be Friday against the Knicks. The 33-year-old helped guide Milwaukee to the sixth-best offense in the league last year, but the Bucks currently sit 21st through seven contests without Middleton in 2024-25.

Khris Middleton - Will progress to 3-on-3 Middleton (ankle) is expected to progress to 3-on-3 work Thursday, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Impact Middleton's status for Thursday's game against the Jazz has yet to be determined, though he sounds doubtful at best. The forward is trending in the right direction according to coach Doc Rivers, and it will be interesting to see how he responds to Thursday's live 3-on-3 work.

Andre Jackson Jr. - Season-high 25 minutes Jackson posted seven points (2-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block over 25 minutes during Monday's 116-114 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Jackson's playing time had been increasing in recent games, but his season-high 25 minutes was largely due to Giannis Antetokounmpo's (thigh) absence. Regardless, Jackson took advantage of the opportunity by showcasing his skill set against a strong opponent. Even if Antetokounmpo returns soon, Jackson has a clear path to 15 minutes off the Bucks' bench, which has struggled to generate production early in the season.

Gary Trent Jr. - Held to four points Trent logged four points (1-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes during Monday's 116-114 loss to Cleveland.

Impact This was a nightmare showing for Trent as the Bucks dropped to 1-6 on the season. To make matters worse, Trent was unable to take advantage of any extra touches vacated by Giannis Antetokounmpo (thigh). In seven appearances for his new team, Trent is shooting a mere 28.8 percent from the field and 23.1 percent from beyond the arc.

Brook Lopez - Shooting woes from deep in loss Lopez produced 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt), six rebounds, four steals and two blocks across 36 minutes during Monday's 116-114 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Lopez stuffed the stat sheet on the defensive end while grabbing six steals-plus-blocks for the third time this season. However, the big man struggled from three-point range once again, and he has shot only 28.2 percent from deep while attempting 5.6 triples per game. Lopez's defensive ability has helped his fantasy value, though his struggles with efficiency thus far have put a damper on his defensive production. Through seven regular-season outings, the 36-year-old has averaged 10.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.4 blocks, 1.4 assists and 1.1 steals across 31.4 minutes per game.

AJ Green - Impresses in loss Monday Green contributed 21 points (7-9 FG, 7-9 3Pt), six rebounds and one assist in 34 minutes during Monday's 116-114 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact After receiving a DNP in Saturday's loss to Cleveland, Green exploded for the second-highest mark in points of his career Monday. The sharpshooter has struggled to carve out a consistent role with coach Doc Rivers giving Andre Jackson significant playing time off the bench. However, the second unit has struggled with production, especially from beyond the arc, and Green's performance from outside Monday bodes well for his role moving forward.

Bobby Portis - Massive double-double in defeat Portis ended Monday's 116-114 loss to the Cavaliers with 21 points (10-21 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 18 rebounds, three blocks and one assist in 39 minutes.

Impact While filling in for Giannis Antetokounmpo (thigh) in the starting five, Portis posted a monster double-double with a season high in both points and rebounds. The big man has remained a mostly consistent option off the bench thus far, leading a second unit which has had its fair share of struggles through seven regular-season games. Aside from his rebounding, Portis' best ability in fantasy is his availability, and he has played in 65 or more regular-season contests in each of his last five seasons. The 29-year-old has averaged 12.4 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.9 blocks while shooting 47.6 percent from the field across 26.3 minutes per game thus far.

Damian Lillard - Team-high 36 points in loss Lillard supplied 36 points (11-22 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 9-9 FT), seven assists and two rebounds across 37 minutes during Monday's 116-114 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact With Giannis Antetokounmpo (thigh) absent Monday, Lillard exploded for his second-highest mark on the season. The superstar point guard amassed 41 points in Saturday's loss to Cleveland, and he again failed to will the Bucks to a win Monday, despite a valiant effort. Alas, the club finds itself with a 1-6 record, and the Bucks will need the All-Star to continue shooting the rock at a high volume alongside a healthy Antetokounmpo if they are going to turn things around. Lillard has averaged 27.6 points, 6.7 assists and 4.6 rebounds while shooting 39.1 percent from downtown across 35.9 minutes per game in seven regular-season outings.
