AJ Green

Lillard missed Friday's game as well, which allowed AJ Green to start in his place. However, he only logged 17 minutes in the blowout loss. Green could start again, but Delon Wright and Ryan Rollins will also be candidates to get the nod.

With Damian Lillard (calf) out, Bucks coach Doc Rivers started Green instead of another point guard (Delon Wright). That approach backfired spectacularly, with Green struggling in 17 minutes on the court. Wright (two points, two rebounds, two assists, and two steals in 17 minutes) started the third quarter, but the damage was done by then. Saturday's matchup with the Wizards should be better for Milwaukee, whether Lillard plays or not.

With Damian Lillard (calf) sidelined, Green will fill the void in the starting lineup. An effective perimeter shooter, the role change allows Green to do more regarding playmaking. Look for Delon Wright to play rotation minutes off the bench due to the lack of a true point guard.

Green is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.

Middleton did not play in the Bucks' most recent game, their win over the Thunder in Tuesday's Emirates NBA Cup final. The probable tag for Friday suggests he'll play against the Cavaliers, and fantasy managers should anticipate Middleton sitting out Saturday's matchup with the Wizards. AJ Green and Gary Trent Jr. may see their minutes decrease on Friday, but Saturday will be their opportunity to take on a more significant workload.
