Headed to bench Dieng will come off the bench for Friday's game in New Orleans.

Impact With Ryan Rollins back in action, Dieng will shift to the second unit, and it'll be interesting to see what his minutes look like in the reserve role. If Dieng isn't able to earn 20-plus minutes as a member of the second unit, it'll be tough for him to bring big stats to the boxscore.

Ruled out for Friday Antetokounmpo (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Antetokounmpo will miss his 10th consecutive contest due to a right calf strain, though the superstar said Saturday that he feels "100 percent" healthy, so perhaps he'll return in the near future. His next opportunity to play will come Sunday against Toronto. In the meantime, Jericho Sims, Ousmane Dieng and Bobby Portis are candidates for increased minutes.

Impact Rollins had a bout of plantar fasciitis ahead of the All-Star break, but he's cleared to return from a two-game absence with the issue. Ousmane Dieng is the most likely option to revert back to the bench Friday. Rollins should continue to see a rise in playmaking duties as long as Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is out, with Rollins averaging 19.5 points, 5.1 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 33.6 minutes per contest in his last 10 games.
