Sims will come off the bench Sunday against the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Sims is starting Thursday's game against the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

Sims will draw his third start in five games after Kyle Kuzma (illness) was ruled out Thursday. Sims hasn't been able to capitalize on his previous two opportunities with the first unit, as he's been held to two points in each start despite logging 30 or more minutes.

Smis will come off the bench Thursday against Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Sims has been ineffective in his last two appearances, posting averages of 2.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 0.5 blocks in 30.5 minutes per contest. For that reason, the Bucks will roll with a smaller lineup featuring Gary Trent in the first unit.

Sims ended with two points (1-1 FG), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 31 minutes during Saturday's 124-112 loss to the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Sims was a non-factor yet again despite starting for the second straight game. Head coach Doc Rivers seems to favor Sims as the replacement for Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee). Nonetheless, it doesn't seem as though Sims is worth the attention of fantasy managers.

Sims will start against the 76ers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) sidelined, Sims will get the starting nod for the second time this season. Over his last five appearances (one start), the 27-year-old big man has averaged 5.2 points and 6.4 rebounds across 19.8 minutes per contest.

Sims finished with 15 points (7-7 FG, 1-1 FT), 14 rebounds and one assist over 30 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 113-109 win over the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

The 30 minutes were a season high for Sims, as he took on a much larger role than usual after Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) exited the game after just three minutes, and the fifth-year center responded by setting a new career scoring high and tying his personal best in boards. The double-double was his first of the season and first since 2022-23 with the Knicks, but Sims should see his workload increase at least a little for however long Giannis is missing from the Bucks' frontcourt.

Sims is not in the Bucks' starting lineup against the Heat on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Sims made his first start of the season Monday against the Trail Blazers, though he played just 11 minutes and finished with zero points (0-1 FG) and one rebound. He'll come off the bench for Wednesday's tilt while Gary Trent enters the Bucks' starting five.

Sims is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Sims will join the first unit for the first time this season given the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin). Bobby Portis drew a pair of starts in Milwaukee's previous two matchups without Antetokounmpo, but it'll be Sims who gets a look Monday evening. He's averaging 2.8 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in his last five appearances off the bench.

Sims recorded two points (1-2 FG), seven rebounds and two assists over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 111-100 loss to Charlotte.

EDGE Analysis

After logging two DNPs, Sims saw the court for 18 minutes, presumably due to the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee). Unless injuries keep the Bucks' frontcourt from playing, Sims will likely not see the court during meaningful minutes.

Sims recorded three rebounds over seven minutes during Tuesday's 128-100 loss to the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

Although Sims is the backup center in Milwaukee, his minutes are often limited with the Bucks opting to go smaller -- Bobby Portis is also utilized at center. Across five appearances, Sims has averaged 4.4 minutes per contest.
