Denver Nuggets shooting guard Bryn Forbes has received the green light to make his team debut during Friday's contest vs. the Grizzlies. Forbes -- a career 41.3% shooter from behind the arc -- gives Denver a much-needed long range weapon off the bench. The 28-year-old has racked up 9.1 PPG this season despite playing fewer than 17 minutes on a nightly basis. That minutes allotment isn't likely to increase exponentially due to the Nuggets' crowded backcourt group, but season-long fantasy managers keeping an eye on three-point options can look Forbes way due to his multi-year consistency.
Denver Nuggets guard Bryn Forbes will not be making his team debut against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday. Forbes was recently part of a three-team trade that sent him to Denver from the San Antonio Spurs. The trade was finalized on Wednesday, so it's just a matter of the Nuggets clearing Forbes. There should be opportunities for Forbes to make an impact in Denver. However, his role on the team remains uncertain right now. Fantasy managers shouldn't rush to add him, but keep him monitored. The Nuggets are desperate for scoring options, so Forbes could very well make an impact if given 20 or more minutes per game.
Milwaukee Bucks point/shooting guard Bryn Forbes (toe) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Celtics due to a sprained toe on his right foot. The absence marks the first of the year for Forbes, who has shot a sterling 45.5 percent from behind the arc, the eighth-highest mark in the league. Donte Divincenzo stands to see a slight minutes increase in Forbes' absence, while Pat Connaughton could take on an elevated offensive role with the second unit. The next opportunity for Forbes to return to action comes Friday in a rematch versus Boston.
Milwaukee Bucks guard Bryn Forbes (toe) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. He played 30 minutes during Monday's contest, but also tweaked his toe in the process. The team is likely going to wait and see how he feels during pregame warmups before making a final decision. Pat Connaughton and Donte Divincenzo would be asked to split up the extra minutes, assuming Forbes is out. Both could be possible streaming options, but DiVincenzo has more upside.
Bryn Forbes Shoots 7-For-7 From Deep Versus Knicks
Milwaukee Bucks guard Bryn Forbes went off for 21 points in 18 minutes off the bench in Thursday's blowout win against the Knicks, shooting 7-for-7 from three-point land. The guy has been a complete killer from downtown, having gone 47.1 percent with the three-ball throughout the campaign. He doesn't get a lot of chances to shine in Milwaukee, but the former Spur has managed two 20-plus outings in his past five appearances. Forbes is nicely set up for another good scoring night against Washington next, if he gets enough minutes, of course.
Milwaukee Bucks guard D.J. Augustin will start Friday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Bucks are on a five-game losing streak and need to make some changes while Jrue Holiday (health and safety protocols) is still out. Augustin will push Bryn Forbes to the bench who was serviceable as a three-pointer streamer. Augustin could be worth a look with two games left this week and would be a low-end option for assists.
Milwaukee Bucks point/shooting guard Bryn Forbes remains among the starting five for Wednesday's game versus Phoenix, taking the place of Jrue Holiday, who is in the league's health and safety protocols. Forbes, who has never been known as a high-volume assist contributor, has dished out just .5 dimes per game this year, an indication that the ball-handling with the starting group will likely run through Khris Middleton and Donte Divincenzo. But Forbes has been a dynamic three-point shooter, knocking down triples at a career-best 47.9 percent rate through 24 games. He can be seen as a GPP play in DFS or as a short-term season-long category cog in deeper formats without Holiday in the mix.
Milwaukee Bucks guard Bryn Forbes is starting in place of Jrue Holiday on Monday night against the Denver Nuggets. There's been no word yet on why Holiday isn't starting, though he may just be resting. Forbes has 18 points last time out and has seen his scoring inch up lately, so he's an appealing DFS sleeper play on the night slate, though he's unlikely to get 15 shots like he did against the Pacers earlier this month.
Milwaukee Bucks guard Bryn Forbes scored 18 points on 6-for-7 shooting in Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. In addition, dished out one assist and added a steal. Forbes was 6-for-6 from three. He'll face the Nuggets on Monday, who allow opponents to shoot the 13th-highest percentage from three and to score the 16th-most points per game. Only averaging 8.4 points and 1.7 threes per game, Forbes probably doesn't need to be a DFS priority on Monday, though he has scored in double figures in three of the last four games, so there's some potential value.
San Antonio Spurs guard Bryn Forbes (quad) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. The team is going to be cautious here, especially with Forbes battling left quad soreness. Keldon Johnson will be asked to play significant minutes off the bench in Thursday's game. He'll be an interesting low-cost DFS option for Thursday's slate.
