Bucks' Pete Nance: Planning to join Milwaukee
The Bucks are planning to sign Nance (ankle) to a two-way contract, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
The team has yet to make this signing official, though a deal appears imminent. Nance will presumably bolster Milwaukee's frontcourt following the suspension of Bobby Portis for violating the league's anti-drug policy. It's worth noting that Nance hasn't seen any game action since Feb. 12 due to an ankle injury, so it's currently unclear as to when he may be cleared to play.

Bucks' Gary Trent: Provides boost off bench in win
Trent contributed 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three steals, two rebounds and one assist over 24 minutes in Thursday's 121-112 win over Denver.
Trent did it on both ends of the floor Thursday, coming off the bench and leading all second-unit players in scoring while swiping a team-high trio of steals on the defensive end. Trent has tallied 15 or more points in 13 contests, adding three or more steals in four of those outings.

Bucks' Brook Lopez: Surpasses 20-point mark in victory
Lopez ended with 22 points (7-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block over 37 minutes in Thursday's 121-112 win over Denver.
Lopez provided a nice lift form inside the paint Thursday despite not having great success shooting the ball, finishing second among Bucks players in scoring while posting one of two 20-point performances in the contest. Lopez has recorded 20 or more points in 10 outings this season, doing so in two of his last five appearances.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Flirts with 20-20 outing in win
Antetokounmpo notched 28 points (11-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 19 rebounds, seven assists and one block over 33 minutes in Thursday's 121-112 win over Denver.
Antetokounmpo was once again listed on the injury report ahead of Thursday's contest with left calf discomfort, but he took the court against Denver and dominated with team-high marks in scoring, rebounds and assists in a near 20-20 outing. Antetokounmpo set a new season high in rebounds, surpassing his previous season-best 18 rebounds hauled in Jan. 27. Antetokounmpo has tallied at least 25 points, 15 rebounds and five assists in five outings this year.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Gets green light Thursday
Head coach Doc Rivers said that Antetokounmpo (calf) will play in Thursday's game against Denver, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Antetokounmpo has been a mainstay on the injury report of late due to a left calf strain that sidelined him for six straight contests prior to the All-Star break. However, the two-time MVP will make his fifth consecutive appearance Thursday, and over his last four outings, he has averaged 22.8 points, 10.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.0 blocks across 26.8 minutes per contest. The Bucks have been gradually working the superstar forward back to full playing form, and he'll likely remain under a slight minutes restriction of around 32 minutes against Denver.

Bucks' Pat Connaughton: Not playing Thursday
Connaughton (calf) is out for Thursday's game against the Nuggets, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Connaughton has been bothered by this calf injury in recent days and is set to miss a third straight game and a seventh across the Bucks' last nine contests. Given that he regularly sees action off the bench, his absence shouldn't have a lot of fantasy implications. His next chance to play will come Saturday against the Mavericks.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Probable for Thursday
Antetokounmpo is probable for Thursday's game against the Nuggets due to a left calf strain, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
There are no real surprises here, as Antetokounmpo has been dealing with a calf strain for quite some time but has managed to play through it since the end of the All-Star break. Even though he might still have a minutes restriction, look for the star forward to handle something close to his regular workload if he gets the green light to suit up against Denver.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Double-doubles in loss
Antetokounmpo racked up 27 points (9-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 9-12 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 100-97 loss to Houston.
Antetokounmpo was limited to 32-34 minutes Tuesday according to coach Doc Rivers, as the Bucks continue to exercise caution with his calf to keep him fresh for the postseason. Milwaukee's next back-to-back set begins March 4 against Atlanta and March 5 versus Dallas, so a maintenance day could be on the table for one of those contests.

Bucks' Brook Lopez: Fares well in loss
Lopez supplied 12 points (4-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 100-97 loss to the Rockets.
Lopez continues to provide steady production across the board for fantasy managers. In fact, he's second on the team in nine-category fantasy value over the last 10 games, producing third-round value with 14.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 2.1 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers while shooting 49.0 percent from the field.

Bucks' AJ Green: Hot from perimeter
Green logged 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-8 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 100-97 loss to the Rockets.
This was Green's 15th game of his career with at least four makes from beyond the arc. This game could be a confidence booster for Green, as he's shooting 35.7 percent from the field over his last 10 games with averages of 17.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.0 three-pointers.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Will play vs. Houston
Antetokounmpo (calf) has been cleared to play in Tuesday's game against the Rockets, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Antetokounmpo's left calf issue will continue to be monitored throughout the 2024-25 campaign, but he will suit up and play Tuesday in Houston. According to Eric Nehm of The Athletic, head coach Doc Rivers said the perennial All-Star's minutes limit will be 32 or 34 minutes. The superstar big man is having another stellar season for the Bucks, averaging 31.0 points, 12.0 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.3 blocks per game while shooting 61 percent from the field.

Bucks' Gary Trent: Upgraded to available
Trent (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against Houston, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
As expected, the Bucks have upgraded Trent from probable to available Tuesday due to a right knee contusion. Over his last eight contests, the veteran swingman has averaged 14.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.9 three-pointers in 27.7 minutes while shooting 43.4 percent from downtown. Trent should handle his usual role off the bench against the Rockets.

Bucks' Pat Connaughton: Out again Tuesday
Connaughton (calf) will not play Tuesday against Houston.
Connaughton will miss his second consecutive game, but his absence won't have a big impact on the rotation -- he averaged 14.0 minutes per game in his last five appearances.

Bucks' Gary Trent: Expected to play
Trent is probable for Tuesday's game against the Rockets with a right knee contusion.
Trent has been playing through this knee contusion for a few days and is expected to make his 18th straight appearance Tuesday. The guard is averaging 12.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 2.4 three-pointers over his last 10 contests.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Probable for Tuesday
Antetokounmpo (calf) is probable for Tuesday's game against Houston.
Probable tags are nothing new for Antetokounmpo, so this is par for the course. In his latest outing Sunday against the Heat, Antetokounmpo produced 23 points (11-18 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 16 rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes.

Bucks' Kevin Porter: Another double-digit scoring effort
Porter notched 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 14 minutes during Sunday's 120-113 victory over Miami.
Porter continues to serve as a spark plug off the bench, having now reached double-digit scoring figures in four straight games. Over five games since heading to Milwaukee, the 24-year-old guard has averaged 9.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.6 steals in 16.8 minutes while shooting 55.9 percent from the floor. Porter could have some streaming appeal on nights where the Bucks are missing some of their key players, but he might be hard-pressed to receive minutes in the 20s while the team is healthy.
