Impact Lopez and Trey Lyles were in the middle of a scuffle following a hard foul on Giannis Antetokounmpo, but the game was already well in hand at this point. Lopez continues to play at a high level on both ends of the court and has scored 20-plus points in three of his last four contests while also swatting away at least three shots in each of these matchups.

Stephen Curry doing all he can at 35 to prolong his career

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry has a postgame workout routine that’s paying dividends even though he was recently sidelined

MARCH 14, 2023 • Associated Press

Back in bench role Portis will come off the bench Monday night against the Kings, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Portis fared well in three straight starts while Giannis Antetokounmpo recovered from a hand injury, but he'll return to his usual bench role with Antetokounmpo back in action Monday night. Portis hasn't had a big role on the offensive end as a reserve of late, as he's been held to seven points or fewer in his last four matchups off the bench.

MARCH 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Officially cleared to return Antetokounmpo (hand) is available for Monday's game in Sacramento.

Impact Antetokounmpo made it through his pregame workout without any issues, and the team has since given him the green light to return after missing the last three contests with a right hand injury. Given the forward's brief absence, he should be cleared to shoulder a full workload Monday night.

MARCH 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ready to return Matthews (calf) is available for Monday's game against the Kings.

Impact Matthews was listed on the injury report as probable due to a right calf strain, and he's since been upgraded to available. This will mark the veteran guard's first action since Feb. 16 against Chicago.

Expected to play Mike Budenholzer said he's expecting Giannis Antetokounmpo (hand) to play Monday against the Kings, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Impact Antetokounmpo got through his pregame routine without issue, so it looks like he'll be returning from a three-game absence Monday evening. With Giannis back, expect Bobby Portis to return to the second unit where his minutes will likely dip back to the mid-20s.

Won't play Monday Ingles has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Kings due to left knee injury management.

Impact Ingles has appeared in 12 straight games and is averaging 8.2 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 24.4 minutes during that stretch, but the veteran forward will take the first night of a back-to-back set off to rest his knee. It's unclear if he'll be able to suit up for the second half Tuesday in Phoenix. In the meantime, Pat Connaughton, Jae Crowder and Wesley Matthews, who's expected to return from a nine-game absence due to a calf strain, are candidates for increased playing time versus Sacramento.

Probable Monday Matthews (calf) is probable for Monday's game against the Kings.

Impact Matthews has missed the last nine games with a strained right calf but will likely be able to return to action for the first half of a back-to-back set Monday. He's averaged 3.8 points and 4.0 rebounds in 18.9 minutes per game over his last 11 appearances, but it's possible he faces a minutes restriction if he's cleared to play against Sacramento.

MARCH 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Monday Antetokounmpo (hand) is questionable for Monday's game against Sacramento.

Impact Antetokounmpo has missed the last three games due to right hand soreness but will be in the mix to return Monday. However, the Bucks play a back-to-back set to begin the week, so it's possible the 28-year-old is held out for at least one of the legs, especially considering the various injuries he's dealt with in recent weeks. If Antetokounmpo remains out Monday, Bobby Portis should continue to see increased run for the Bucks.

Reaches new season high in minutes Middleton finished Saturday's 125-116 overtime loss to the Warriors with 19 points (7-14 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five assists, four steals and three rebounds across a season-high 34...

Impact While Giannis Antetokounmpo (hand) has been sidelined for the past three games, the Bucks have loosened the reins on Middleton, who has started in each of those contests while logging 31, 29 and 34 minutes. Those three minutes counts are his highest totals since he returned in late January from an 18-game absence due to right knee irritation. The Bucks could still look to avoid overextending Middleton when possible, and he'll likely be a candidate to sit out one half of the team's remaining back-to-back sets, but his overall fantasy ceiling appears to be higher than it was earlier in the season now that his playing-time restrictions having seemingly been lifted.

Notches another double-double Portis logged 15 points (5-11 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 13 rebounds and two assists over 32 minutes during Saturday's 125-116 overtime loss to the Warriors.

Impact Portis has started three straight games in the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (hand), and he has posted a double-double in each of those contests. The veteran had been struggling mightily prior to entering the starting five, averaging just 4.5 points on 31.8 percent shooting over his previous four contests. It's clear that Portis is most valuable as a fantasy asset when he's starting -- he's averaging 16.8 points and 10.9 boards in that role this season versus 12.6 points and 9.3 rebounds as a reserve -- but he'll likely return to the bench when Antetokounmpo is able to return.

MARCH 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Teases triple-double Saturday Holiday posted 18 points (7-22 FG, 4-11 3Pt), nine rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal across 39 minutes during Saturday's 125-116 overtime loss to the Warriors.

Impact Holiday didn't shoot particularly well against the Warriors, but he still turned in a strong performance, falling just one rebound and two assists shy of a triple-double. The point guard actually shot better from beyond the arc (4-for-11) than from two-point range (3-for-11), and at least half of his shot attempts have come from deep in four straight games. Holiday's 6.4 three-point attempts per game this season are easily a career high, but he's still managing to shoot 47.3 percent from the field overall.

MARCH 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Another big defensive effort Lopez ended with 19 points (8-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, five blocks, one assist and one steal across 38 minutes during Saturday's 125-116 overtime loss to the Warrio...

Impact With Giannis Antetokounmpo (hand) missing his third straight game, the Bucks put together a balanced attack that featured seven players with double-digit scoring. Lopez tied for the team lead with 19 points, but his best work was again on the defensive end of the court, where he swatted five shots. That followed a nine-block effort his last time out, and Lopez has now swatted at least three shots in four straight games. He's been thriving for nearly a month, averaging 21.3 points, 7.5 boards, 2.1 three-pointers and 3.1 blocks over his past 10 contests.
