Bucks' Brook Lopez: Three rejections Saturday
Lopez had 13 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal in 38 minutes during Saturday's 125-119 win over Charlotte.
The 36-year-old center continues to contribute at both ends of the court. Lopez has recorded at least one block, one steal and one three-pointer in seven straight games, averaging 17.0 points, 6.6 boards, 2,7 threes, 2.6 blocks, 2.0 steals and 1.9 assists over that stretch while shooting 53.7 percent from the floor and 41.3 percent (19-for-46) from beyond the arc.

Bucks' Damian Lillard: Pops for 31 against Charlotte
Lillard ended Saturday's 125-119 victory over the Hornets with 31 points (9-21 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 10-11 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal over 35 minutes.
The veteran point guard saw his streak of games with double-digit assists end at three, but Lillard compensated by reaching 30 points for the first time since Nov. 7. While a concussion cost him a few games earlier this month, Lillard has otherwise had a strong start to the season, averaging 25.2 points, 7.4 assists, 4.6 boards, 2.9 threes and 0.9 steals over 14 contests, and he has room to improve those numbers further -- his 32.0 percent shooting from three-point range would be a career low.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Hits for team-high 32 in win
Antetokounmpo closed Saturday's 125-119 win over Charlotte with a team-high 32 points (12-23 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists and two blocks across 31 minutes.
While the Bucks have had a bumpy start to the season, Antetokounmpo has been his usual elite self. The 29-year-old forward has produced at least a double-double in 14 of his 16 appearances while scoring at least 30 points on 10 occasions. Antetokounmpo's 32.4 points per game would be a career high, and he's also averaging 11.9 boards, 6.4 assists and 1.4 blocks a contest while shooting 60.8 percent from the floor.

Bucks' Tyler Smith: Recalled from G League
Smith was recalled from the Bucks' G League affiliate Saturday.
Smith was seemingly called back up to the Bucks ahead of this coming Tuesday's game against the Heat. The rookie forward appeared in Saturday's 86-77 G League win over the Windy City Bulls, during which he posted 14 points (4-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two steals and a block across 29 minutes, before being promoted to Milwaukee.

Bucks' Liam Robbins: Available to play Saturday
Robbins (heel) is available for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Robbins returns following a one-game absence. However, he's not expected to see meaningful minutes off the bench as a depth option in the frontcourt and shouldn't have a big impact on Milwaukee's rotation.

Bucks' MarJon Beauchamp: Will play Saturday
Beauchamp (hamstring) is available for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Beauchamp popped up on Saturday's injury report due to a mild hamstring strain, but the third-year forward will be available off the bench. He saw sparse minutes early in the regular season, but he has been a healthy DNP in four of the Bucks' last five games.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Playing Saturday
Rollins (shoulder) is available for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Rollins is set to return after missing five straight games due to a dislocated left shoulder, and he should continue to see minutes off the bench as the backup point guard behind Damian Lillard. Rollins is averaging 3.2 points across 7.6 minutes per game in nine appearances this season, though, so his return shouldn't affect many fantasy decisions.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Good to go vs. Charlotte
Antetokounmpo (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
As expected, and despite dealing with right patella tendinopathy, Antetokounmpo will suit up and should handle his regular workload as the Bucks' primary offensive weapon. He's been on a tear of late, averaging 35.0 points, 11.1 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 2.1 blocks per game over his last seven appearances.

Bucks' MarJon Beauchamp: Likely to play Saturday
Beauchamp is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Hornets due to left hamstring tendinopathy.
Beauchamp is dealing with a minor hamstring injury, but the issue isn't expected to keep him from suiting up Saturday. His availability shouldn't have much impact on the Bucks' rotation.

Bucks' AJ Johnson: Out again Saturday
Johnson (Achilles) won't play in Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Johnson is up with the Bucks, but he'll be unavailable for Saturday's contest due to left Achilles tendinitis. The rookie guard hasn't played more than three minutes in an NBA game this season. His next chance to play will come Tuesday at Miami.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Expected to play Saturday
Rollins (shoulder) is probable for Saturday's game against Charlotte.
Rollins has missed five straight games due to a dislocated left shoulder, but he's slated to be back in action Saturday. Prior to the injury, Rollins had emerged as the Bucks' backup point guard, and he figures to play a sizeable role off the bench if available against the Hornets.

Bucks' Liam Robbins: Likely to play Saturday
Robbins (heel) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against Charlotte.
Robbins missed the Bucks' previous game due to a bruised left heel, but he's expected to be available Saturday. Robbins' availability shouldn't have much of an impact on Milwaukee's rotation.

Bucks' Khris Middleton: Still sidelined
Middleton (ankle) won't play in Saturday's game against Charlotte.
As expected, Middleton won't suit up Saturday. The 32-year-old has been medically cleared but remains without a timetable for return. He's yet to appear in a game this season, and his next chance to do so will come Tuesday against Miami.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Tabbed as probable
Antetokounmpo is probable for Saturday's game against the Hornets due to right patella tendinopathy.
Antetokounmpo has been a mainstay on the Bucks injury report and landed a probable tag once again Saturday. The 29-year-old has been on a tear in his last seven games, averaging 35.0 points, 11.1 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 2.1 blocks. He hasn't missed a game since Nov. 4.

Bucks' Gary Trent: Scores 18 points off bench
Trent amassed 18 points (6-10 FG, 6-10 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 29 minutes during Friday's 129-117 victory over Indiana.
Trent did all of his damage from three-point range, nailing six of his 10 attempts en route to scoring a season-high mark. Trent opened the season in a starting role, and although he was demoted to the bench due to a subpar start, he seems to be trending in the right direction. He's scored in double digits in five games in a row, a span in which he's averaging 12.4 points per game while making 56.3 percent of his threes.

Bucks' Damian Lillard: Hands out 13 assists
Lillard closed with 24 points (8-19 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, 13 assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Friday's 129-117 win over Indiana.
Lillard wasn't as dominant on offense as Giannis Antetokounmpo, who finished with a 37-point triple-double. However, the star point guard has been playing at a high level since returning from a three-game absence due to a concussion. He has three double-doubles in his three games since returning to the court, a span during which he's averaging 20.7 points and 11.0 assists per contest. He's shooting just 38.9 percent from the field in that stretch, but fantasy managers can live with the lack of efficiency if he continues to put up these numbers on a regular basis.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Posts triple-double in win
Antetokounmpo supplied 37 points (14-21 FG, 9-11 FT), 10 rebounds, 11 assists, one block and two steals over 35 minutes during Friday's 129-117 win over the Pacers.
The Pacers didn't find a way to slow Antetokounmpo down, and the star forward recorded his second triple-double of the season, with both of them coming in his last four appearances. Even though he's been constantly listed on the injury report due to left knee tendinopathy, he's been logging his regular workload every time he steps on the hardwood. Antetokounmpo is averaging 35.8 points, 12.2 rebounds, 8.4 assists and 1.8 blocks per game over his last five appearances.

Bucks' Tyler Smith: Back to G League
The Bucks assigned Smith to their G League affiliate, the Wisconsin Herd, on Saturday.
Smith has bounced back and forth between the NBA and G League this season, though he hasn't logged a minute with the Bucks since Nov. 12. The 2024 second-round draft pick should play a featured role with the Herd.
