Teague (knee) will be available for Saturday's matchup with the Bucks, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Teague was considered probable heading into Game 1, so no surprise here. He could see some backup point guard minutes behind Jrue Holiday, but he is not expected to to be heavily involved in the rotation.

Bucks' Jeff Teague: Probable for Game 1
Rotowire
Teague is probable for Saturday's matchup against the Heat due to left knee soreness.
The issue for Teague presumably came up in practice or a workout, as he wasn't dealing with the issue during the end of the regular season. Assuming he's available, he should see backup minutes behind Jrue Holiday. However, it's unlikely he sees enough action to be fantasy relevant.
Teague mustered 23 points (5-11 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 10-12 FT), seven assists, three rebounds, three steals and a block across 34 minutes in Sunday's loss to the Bulls.
Teague got the start since the Bucks rested all their regulars for the regular-season finale, and the former Hawks floor general took advantage of the chance to post his best individual performance in recent memory. This shouldn't work as a benchmark for Teague's potential numbers going forward, however, as he's slated to move back to the bench for the postseason while seeing limited minutes as Jrue Holiday's backup.

Bucks' Jeff Teague: Not on injury report
Rotowire
Teague (abdomen) is not on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against Washington.
An strained abdominal muscle kept Teague out of Tuesday's win over Brooklyn, but it looks like he'll be back to availability off the bench in the second half of the back-to-back. Over his last five appearances, Teague has averaged 4.0 points and 3.2 assists in 14.4 minutes.

Bucks' Jeff Teague: Out Tuesday
Rotowire
Teague (abdomen) will not play Tuesday against the Nets.
Teague has been giving the Bucks decent backup point guard minutes since coming over from Boston (by way of Orlando), but he suffered a strained abdominal muscle during Sunday's win over Brooklyn, limiting him to 11 minutes off the bench. Milwaukee hasn't released a timetable, but it's very possible Teague could be looking at a multi-game absence.

Bucks' Jeff Teague: Won't return Sunday
Rotowire
Teague exited Sunday's win over the Nets due to an abdominal strain, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Teague came off the bench Sunday and recorded two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two rebounds in 11 minutes prior to his departure. It's not yet clear whether his injury will force him to miss Tuesday's game against Brooklyn.

Bucks' Jeff Teague: Mostly struggles in win
Rotowire
Teague posted five points (1-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one assist in Wednesday's win over Minnesota.
The veteran saw 16 minutes of action off the bench and didn't make much of an impact, though it didn't matter with the game essentially out of reach by the end of the third quarter. Teague flashed with a 19-point, six-assist showing in a spot start against Charlotte last week, and while he could be worth a DFS flyer on certain nights, he's not fantasy relevant for the most part.

Bucks' Jeff Teague: Responds well as starter
Rotowire
Teague posted 19 points (8-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six assists, two rebounds and a steal across 28 minutes in Friday's loss against the Hornets.
Teague replaced Jrue Holiday (knee) as the Bucks changed their entire starting lineup due to a rash of injuries. The veteran floor general took advantage of his chance to score in double digits for the second time over his last three appearances. He's averaging 8.8 points and 3.8 assists across 18.0 minutes per game since debuting for the Bucks earlier this month, and he's expected to move back to his usual bench role as soon as Holiday is ready to return -- something that could happen as early as Sunday when the Bucks visit the Magic.

Bucks' Jeff Teague: Starting Friday
Rotowire
Teague will start at point gaurd in Friday's matchup with the Hornets, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.
Teague will replace Jrue Holiday in the starting lineup. The Bucks will be without their entire usual starting lineup, so the newly acquired point guard should be in line for a healthy workload.

Bucks' Jeff Teague: Efficient off bench Tuesday
Rotowire
Teague scored 15 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT) while adding three assists and a rebound in only 16 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's loss to the Warriors.
The veteran point guard gave the Bucks a surprising boost after managing only four total points in his first two games for the club. Teague won't have a significant role in the backcourt rotation as long as Jrue Holiday is healthy, but he does provide an insurance policy for Milwaukee and is still capable of the occasional productive performance in limited court time.
