Sims (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Sims is dealing with a right knee issue and won't suit up Tuesday. His next opportunity to play will come Thursday in Miami. With Bobby Portis (back) also sidelined, Pete Nance, Kyle Kuzma and Ousmane Dieng are candidates to see increased minutes Tuesday.

Sims is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Suns with a right knee issue.

EDGE Analysis

Bobby Portis (back) is also questionable, so the Bucks could be shorthanded in the frontcourt. If Sims or Portis are unable to give it a go, the team could turn to Pete Nance, making him a viable streamer in deeper formats.

Sims is in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Joining Sims in the first unit for Sunday's game will be Ryan Rollins, AJ Green, Ousmane Dieng and Myles Turner. Over eight starts this season, Sims has recorded averages of 5.4 points and 7.1 rebounds per contest.

Sims supplied four points (2-2 FG), 11 rebounds and three assists in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 131-113 loss to the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

With Giannis Antetokounmpo on a minutes restriction, Sims has been able to hold down a significant role in the frontcourt mix. It looks like head coach Doc Rivers is committed to giving Sims meaningful minutes. The fifth-year big man has averaged 4.9 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 24.9 minutes per tilt in his last seven games while shooting 88.9 percent from the field.

Sims chipped in 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds and two assists in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 118-116 victory over the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

Sims led the Bucks in rebounding despite being utilized off the bench in this one. He's racked up double-digit boards in back-to-back games and continues to be a solid presence down low for this surging Milwaukee squad, which is 7-2 in February. Sims should remain heavily involved in the rotation until Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) returns.

Sims finished Tuesday's 128-117 win over Miami with eight points (4-4 FG), 10 rebounds and five assists in 29 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Sims came off the bench for a second consecutive contest but had a major role in this one. The 27-year-old big man played the entirety of the fourth quarter and closed with a team-high 10 boards. He also dished out a career-high five assists. While Sims isn't likely to maintain this level of production and playing time once Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) returns, performances like this bode well for his opportunities moving forward.

Sims is not in the starting lineup against the Raptors on Sunday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sims has started in four of the Bucks' last five games, and over that span he has averaged 7.6 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 blocks over 26.8 minutes. He'll come off the bench Sunday while the Bucks go with Ryan Rollins, Kevin Porter, AJ Green, Kyle Kuzma and Myles Turner as the starting five.

Sims will start Wednesday's game against the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old big man will return to the first unit due to Ryan Rollins (foot) being sidelined. As a starter this season (five games), Sims has averaged 2.8 points and 7.0 rebounds in 25.8 minutes per game.
