Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Double-doubles in win
Rotowire
Antetokounmpo ended Tuesday's 133-123 victory over the Suns with 37 points (12-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 11-12 FT), five rebounds, 11 assists, one block and three steals across 36 minutes.
Antetokounmpo led Milwaukee in scoring Tuesday's victory while also posting his eighth game of the season with double-digit assists. Antetokounmpo also made at least two three-pointers for just the second time in 2024-25 and is averaging 34.7 points per contest across his last 10 outings.
Green (shoulder) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Suns.
Green will miss his second consecutive contest due to an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder. Kevin Porter, Pat Connaughton and Andre Jackson are all candidates for an uptick in playing time due to Green being sidelined.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Will play vs. Phoenix
Rotowire
Antetokounmpo (foot) has been cleared to play in Tuesday's game against the Suns, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Antetokounmpo is coming off a 31-point performance for the Bucks in Sunday's game against the Hawks and will be able to play Tuesday against Phoenix. The superstar big man is averaging 30.2 points, 11.9 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.2 blocks per game, shooting 60.1 percent from the field.
Green is questionable for Tuesday's game against Phoenix due to a right AC joint sprain.
After missing Sunday's game against Atlanta, Green's status remains uncertain for Tuesday. If the sharpshooter is unable to play against the Suns, the Bucks could turn to Kevin Porter and Gary Trent to pick up the slack.

Rotowire
Antetokounmpo (foot) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Suns.
The Bucks continue to include Antetokounmpo on the injury report due to a left foot sprain, though he's missed only one game since the All-Star break. Over his last five appearances, the two-time MVP has averaged 30.4 points, 10.4 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.0 steals across 33.2 minutes per contest.

Bucks' Kevin Porter: Strikes for season-high 28
Rotowire
Porter provided 28 points (8-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 9-9 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal over 23 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 145-124 loss to the Hawks.
The 24-year-old guard set a new season scoring high in an efficient performance. Porter has taken on a larger role in the Bucks backcourt while Damian Lillard (calf) has been out of action, playing at least 22 minutes in four of the last five games and averaging 13.0 points, 4.8 assists, 4.0 boards, 1.2 threes and 0.8 steals in 23.2 minutes a contest over that stretch. Lillard lacks a timeline for his return as he deals with a blood clot, but Porter hasn't yet shown he can provide consistent production, making him a better option as an upside dart throw in large DFS tournaments.

Bucks' Kyle Kuzma: Best showing yet with Milwaukee
Rotowire
Kuzma posted 25 points (8-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 35 minutes during Sunday's 145-124 loss to the Hawks.
The former Wizard appears to be getting comfortable with the Bucks, as he takes on Khris Middleton's old job of providing an offensive complement to Giannis Antetokounmpo. Kuzma's 25 points were his high-water mark since he joined Milwaukee, and the 29-year-old forward has scored in double digits in eight straight games, averaging 17.0 points, 5.3 boards, 2.9 assists and 1.9 threes over that span.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Pours in 31 against Atlanta
Rotowire
Antetokounmpo racked up 31 points (11-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 9-14 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Sunday's 145-124 loss to the Hawks.
The All-Star forward produced at least 30 points for the fourth straight appearance, but he was bested by rookie Zaccharie Risacher, who erupted for a career-high 36 to lead the Hawks. Antetokounmpo scored 20 or more points in 14 of 15 appearances in March -- and missed by one point in the 15th contest -- while averaging 28.3 points, 11.2 boards, 6.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.9 blocks on the month and shooting 58.4 percent from the floor.
Green (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hawks, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Green will miss his first outing since Jan. 28 due to a right shoulder sprain. His next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against the Suns. Kevin Porter, Pat Connaughton and Andre Jackson are all candidates to receive a bump in minutes due to Green being sidelined.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Good to go against Atlanta
Rotowire
Antetokounmpo (foot) is available for Sunday's game against the Hawks, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Antetokounmpo has recently been playing through a left foot sprain, and the injury isn't severe enough to keep him out of Sunday's Eastern Conference bout. The two-time MVP has averaged 28.1 points on 58.2 percent shooting, 11.4 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.9 blocks over 33.6 minutes per game since the beginning of March.

Bucks' AJ Green: Iffy for Sunday
Rotowire
Green is questionable for Sunday's game versus Atlanta with a right AC joint sprain.
Green has been stuck in a slump, and it's possible this injury has contributed to it. In 15 March appearances, Green has averaged 6.1 points, 2.1 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.7 three-pointers.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Likely to play vs. Atlanta
Rotowire
Antetokounmpo (foot) has been listed as probable to play in Sunday's game against the Hawks.
After coming one rebound and three assists shy of a 30-point triple-double in Friday's loss to the Knicks, Antetokounmpo is trending toward playing Sunday against Atlanta. The superstar big man is averaging 30.2 points, 12.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.2 blocks per game while shooting 60.1 percent from the field this season.
Kuzma ended Friday's 116-107 loss to the Knicks with 20 points (8-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 38 minutes.
Kuzma has been embracing a bigger role on offense due to the absence of Damian Lillard (calf), and the numbers show he's been a reliable contributor for the Bucks. This was Kuzma's seventh consecutive game with double-digit points, and he has reached the 20-point mark three times over that span while averaging 15.9 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game. The expanded role and the uptick in scoring could be huge for the Bucks in their quest for a top-six seed in the Eastern Conference, but also for managers who have trusted Kuzma all season long.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Scores season-high 20 points
Rotowire
Rollins had 20 points (8-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and four assists across 34 minutes during Friday's 116-107 loss to the Knicks.
Rollins returned to the starting lineup Friday and delivered an impressive outing, notching a new season-high mark in scoring and also posting decent numbers in the rebounds and assists categories. Don't expect Rollins to hover around the 20-point mark on a regular basis, but he should have an uptick in his upside as long as he remains in a starting role. He's scored in double digits in three of his last five outings, averaging 11.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game over that stretch.
