Kuzma finished with 16 points (7-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 131-113 loss to the Hawks.
Kuzma returned to the rotation Wednesday after being a DNP-CD in the loss to the Celtics on Monday, and this outing showed head coach Doc Rivers why he needs to continue playing even if it's in a limited capacity off the bench. Kuzma can be a capable scorer when given the chance. He has scored in double digits in all but one of his last nine games, averaging 13.9 points while shooting 48 percent from the floor in that stretch.

Bucks' Ousmane Dieng: Making most of opportunity
Rotowire
Dieng totaled 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt) and four rebounds over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 131-113 loss to the Hawks.
Dieng has started in the last two games for the Bucks, scoring in double digits both times while shooting a combined 11-for-24 from the field. Dieng was recently praised by head coach Doc Rivers, and while he might continue to see minutes in a starting role, his fantasy upside will be minimal since he doesn't bring much to the table. He's a decent streaming option if he remains in a starting role, but not much else.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Sniffs triple-double in loss
Rotowire
Rollins supplied 13 points (4-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, 12 assists and three steals over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 131-113 loss to the Hawks.
Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks in this loss, but Rollins also posted an impressive line -- he ended just two boards shy of recording what would've been his first triple-double of the season. Rollins has been a regular starter for the Bucks in 2025-26, and while he moved to the bench in the loss to Boston on March 2, he should keep his place in the first unit moving forward. Rollins is averaging 16.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.8 steals per game since the All-Star break.
Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Paces Milwaukee in loss
Rotowire
Antetokounmpo contributed 24 points (10-15 FG, 4-8 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 26 minutes in Wednesday's 131-113 loss to the Hawks.
Antetokounmpo led all players in scoring on efficient shooting from the field, though he struggled from the charity stripe. He was Milwaukee's only player to score more than 16 points as the Bucks lost their fourth consecutive contest. The two-time MVP saw just one more minute than he did in Monday's loss to Boston -- his return from a 15-game absence due to a right calf strain -- suggesting the Bucks will continue to slowly ease him back into game action. In two outings since the extended absence, he has totaled 43 points, 16 rebounds and six assists in 51 minutes.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Starting sans Porter
Rotowire
Rollins will start Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
With Kevin Porter (knee) sidelined, Rollins will rejoin the first unit after coming off the bench in Monday's loss to Boston. Over six starts since the All-Star break, the 23-year-old guard has averaged 18.5 points, 5.3 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 34.3 minutes per game.

Bucks' Kyle Kuzma: Will return to rotation
Rotowire
Head coach Doc Rivers said before Wednesday's game against Atlanta that Kuzma will return to the rotation after going unused off the bench in Monday's loss to Boston, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Kuzma fell out of the rotation Monday with Giannis Antetokounmpo returning from a 15-game absence due to a right calf strain. However, Kuzma is not expected to collect dust on the bench and appears likely to see the floor in Wednesday's contest. Rivers added that he suspects the Bucks will put the ball back in the veteran forward's hands on offense, so it wouldn't be surprising if Kuzma is utilized in more of an on-ball role when Antetokounmpo rests. It's worth noting that Kevin Porter (knee) is unavailable Wednesday.
Porter is out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks due to right knee swelling.
Wednesday marks Porter's first absence since Feb. 3. The star guard can be considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's matchup versus the Jazz. After coming off the bench in Monday's loss to Boston, Ryan Rollins figures to jump right back into the starting lineup in Porter's stead.
Turner ended with five points (1-6 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block in 19 minutes during Monday's 108-81 loss to the Celtics.
Turner had one of his worst games of the season and has now posted back-to-back duds. Overall, Turner has struggled, shooting 44.2 percent from the field with averages of 12.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.6 blocks in 27.9 minutes per contest.

Bucks' Kevin Porter: Muted effort in loss
Rotowire
Porter closed Monday's 108-81 loss to the Celtics with eight points (3-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and three steals across 31 minutes.
Porter, who has been carrying the Bucks in recent weeks, took a backseat Monday with Giannis Antetokounmpo back in the mix. Porter has previously been able to coexist next to Antetokounmpo just fine, so fantasy managers will not want to overreact to this outlier.

Bucks' Cam Thomas: Invisible in loss
Rotowire
Thomas chipped in two points (0-3 FG, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 11 minutes during Monday's 108-81 loss to the Celtics.
After a few encouraging performances following his move to Milwaukee, it appears as though Thomas has reverted back to his old ways. In seven games over the past two weeks, he has averaged 11.3 points in 17.7 minutes, leaving him outside the top 300 in standard leagues. At this point, there is no reason to be rostering Thomas, outside of deeper formats.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Shifts to bench Monday
Rotowire
Rollins racked up five points (2-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 24 minutes during Monday's 108-81 loss to the Celtics.
Rollins moved back to the bench, with head coach Doc Rivers making another baffling rotation change. Despite Rollins being one of this season's breakout players, Rivers seems intent on bringing him off the bench whenever possible. While this is certainly not a positive for Rollins' fantasy value, managers should hold off before making any decisions regarding his viability. History tells us that Rollins could very well prove Rivers wrong, once again.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Double-doubles in return
Rotowire
Antetokounmpo (calf) totaled 19 points (7-18 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one block across 25 minutes during Monday's 108-81 loss to Boston.
Making his return following a five-plus-week absence due to a right calf strain, Antetokounmpo hit the ground running, recording a double-double despite not playing the entire second half of the fourth quarter. Unfortunately for the Bucks, Antetokounmpo's return wasn't enough to keep the team competitive with the Celtics, who cruised to an easy win despite being without Jaylen Brown (illness), Neemias Queta (rest) and Jayson Tatum (Achilles). Antetokounmpo could have his minutes monitored for at least a few more games, but fantasy managers who held off activating him Monday shouldn't have any qualms about doing so moving forward.
Kuzma (coach's decision) went unused Monday in the Bucks' 108-81 loss to the Celtics.
A starter in each of his last 17 appearances, Kuzma moved to the bench and ended up falling out of the rotation entirely while Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) made his return from a five-plus-week absence. According to Eric Nehm of The Athletic, head coach Doc Rivers confirmed after the game that Kuzma wasn't dealing with any sort of injury or illness, so the veteran forward's absence from the rotation could prove to be more than a one-time arrangement.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Won't start Monday
Rotowire
Rollins is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Celtics.
Rollins will shift to the bench with the Bucks rolling out a starting five of Kevin Porter, AJ Green, Ousmane Dieng, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Myles Turner. Rollins has come off the bench in just five games this season, most recently Dec. 26, averaging 16.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.6 steals in 27.2 minutes per contest as a reserve.

With Giannis Antetokounmpo returning to the lineup, Kuzma will shift to a reserve role after starting his previous 17 appearances. In 24 games off the bench this season, the 30-year-old is averaging 11.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 23.7 minutes per contest.

Bucks' Ousmane Dieng: Back with starters
Rotowire
Dieng is starting Monday's game against the Celtics.
Dieng will start Monday as the the Bucks have elected to shake up the first five with Giannis Antetokounmpo back on the floor. Dieng's last start dates back to Feb. 12 against the Thunder, when he finished with 11 points, six rebounds, one steal and four blocks in 36 minutes.
