The Portland Trail Blazers (18-29) unleashed an explosive fourth quarter, rolling past the Milwaukee Bucks (26-19) with a 125-112 victory on January 29.
Milwaukee Bucks Top Performers:
Giannis Antetokounmpo 39 PTS | 12 REB | 5 AST | 56.9 FPS
Giannis maintained his offensive surge, recording 30+ points and 10+ rebounds in three straight games and five of his last six. He’s consistently delivered impactful contributions across multiple categories this month, but his struggles at the free-throw line remain a major problem.
Damian Lillard 20 PTS | 3 REB | 6 AST | 35.6 FPS
Lillard has been a top-tier contributor in category leagues this month, elevating his game even further in recent weeks. He’s scored 25+ points in six straight contests and notched two triple-doubles along the way. He’s struggled with his three-point shot lately, but his overall impact should remain strong.
Gary Trent Jr. 11 PTS | 3-10 3PT | 3 STL | 29.3 FPS
Trent had a number of big games from both the three-point range and steals this month, making him a solid option for fantasy managers looking to stream.
Andre Jackson Jr. 9 PTS | 7 REB | 5 AST | 24.9 FPS
Jackson has shown that he can contribute in all areas, and with more minutes coming his way, he’s poised to take his game to the next level.
Brook Lopez 11 PTS | 3-9 3PT | 3 REB | 24.1 FPS
Lopez has hit multiple threes 24 times and recorded multiple blocks 27 times this season.
Portland Trail Blazers Top Performers:
Deni Avdija 30 PTS | 9 REB | 2 STL | 44.8 FPS
Avdija has been on a tear, dropping 58 points in his last two games. He’s quickly emerging as an elite player for category leagues, with impressive numbers in rebounds, steals and at the line, all while showcasing his growing three-point shooting and playmaking.
DeAndre Ayton 21 PTS | 14 REB | 1 BLK | 44.8 FPS
Ayton returned from a sprained knee after missing three games, playing without restrictions, and posted his sixth double-double of the month. His performance suggests he should be able to finish the week strong.
Anfernee Simons 25 PTS | 4-8 3PT | 7 AST | 38.1 FPS
Simons has bounced back from a three-game slump, including a rough 0-for-9 shooting performance, to score 20+ points in four of his last five games. His offensive production is likely to remain steady as one of the top scoring options for his team, but his fantasy value is limited by his mostly minimal contributions in other areas.
Shaedon Sharpe 17 PTS | 5 REB | 2 STL | 32.5 FPS
Sharpe has been a steady scoring presence this month, hitting double digits in all but one game. He has the potential to become a major contributor but it remains a work in progress.
Toumani Camara 8 PTS | 11 REB | 4 AST | 25.2 FPS
Camara is primed for bigger performances with Grant getting hurt. He’s demonstrated elite potential in category leagues, recording 2+ stocks nine times, dishing out solid assists, and maintaining strong rebounding all month. His offensive game is also coming together, highlighted by a perfect 5-for-5 from deep in his last outing.
Biggest Disappointment of the Game:
Khris Middleton 0 PTS | 1 REB | 1 AST
Middleton has offered decent scoring and a solid blend of rebounds and assists throughout the month, but his recent performance has been erratic, going scoreless twice after a strong 22-point outing.
