MARCH 8, 2023 • YOUTUBE
Bobby Portis - Enters starting five Tuesday Portis will start Tuesday's game versus the Magic.
Impact Potis gets another look with the starting unit in the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness), who will sit out Tuesday's affair. Portis should see a corresponding minutes increase as a result, though it's just temporary until Antetokounmpo is ready to rejoin the action.
MARCH 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jevon Carter - Gets starting nod Carter is in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Magic.
Impact Carter will replace Jrue Holiday (neck) in the starting lineup Tuesday. Carter is averaging 8.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.2 steals in 27.1 minutes across his previous 33 starts this season.
MARCH 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Pat Connaughton - Slides back to bench Connaughton has been relegated to the bench for Tuesday's game versus the Magic.
Impact Connaughton had started all but one of his appearances dating back to Christmas Day, but he will return to the bench in place of Khris Middleton, who will receive his first start since Dec. 21. The long-term goal likely involves including Middleton in the starting lineup more often as the playoffs approach, so Connaughton may find himself coming off the bench more frequently moving forward.
MARCH 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Khris Middleton - Moves into starting five Middleton will start Tuesday's game versus the Magic.
Impact Middleton joins a starting five without two star regulars in Giannis Antetokounmpo (illnesses) and Jrue Holiday (neck), but it marks his first start since Dec. 15. Middleton is slowly ramping his minutes up ahead of the postseason, and, if Tuesday's lineup is any indication, Middleton could be slated to maintain a starting job more frequently moving forward. Pat Connaughton will slot into a bench role in a corresponding change.

Lindell Wigginton - Gets two-way deal from Milwaukee Wigginton signed a two-way contract with the Bucks on Tuesday.
Impact The 6-foot-1 guard will fill the two-way spot vacated by center Sandro Mamukelashvili, whom Milwaukee waived last week. Wigginton previously signed a two-way deal with the Bucks last January and appeared in 10 regular-season games for the team before being waived in October. Wigginton had since been playing for the Bucks' G League affiliate, the Wisconsin Herd, with whom he's averaged 18.6 points, 5.8 assists and 3.9 rebounds in 33.5 minutes per game over 35 appearances (18 starts) in 2022-23.

Analysis: Giannis loses triple-double amid stat padding talk

Giannis Antetokounmpo's last-second rebound didn't count after all as the NBA rescinded his fourth triple-double.

Analysis: Giannis loses triple-double amid stat padding talk
Jrue Holiday - Won't play Tuesday Holiday (neck) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against the Magic.
Impact Holiday has been downgraded from questionable to out and will join Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness) on the sidelines. Jevon Carter figures to be the most likely candidate to start at point guard in Holiday's absence, but the Bucks will need plenty of contributions from different players to mitigate the loss of their two top playmakers.
MARCH 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Giannis Antetokounmpo - Ruled out Tuesday Antetokounmpo (knee/illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Magic.
Impact Antetokounmpo was previously listed as probable due to right knee soreness, but the MVP candidate is now under the weather and will miss just his second game since Jan. 23. Jrue Holiday (neck) has also been ruled out, so the Bucks will need plenty of reserves to step into bigger roles versus Orlando. Bobby Portis figures to be the most likely candidate to fill Antetokounmpo's spot in the starting five.

MARCH 6, 2023 • BOSTONGLOBE.COM
Goran Dragic - Won't play Tuesday Dragic (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Magic.
Impact Dragic has yet to make his Milwaukee debut as he continues to deal with soreness in his left knee, but even when he's cleared, it's unlikely he'll earn enough minutes in the rotation to impact fantasy hoops. The Dragon is safe to leave on the waiver wire in most settings.
MARCH 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Khris Middleton - Not listed on injury report Middleton (rest) is not on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game in Orlando.
Impact Middleton was rested on the second leg of a back-to-back Sunday, but he'll be back in action Tuesday night, and he could see some more shots falling his way if Jrue Holiday (neck) is forced to the sidelines. With no back-to-backs for Milwaukee during Week 20, Middleton should be available for all three games.
MARCH 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Wesley Matthews - Will remain out Tuesday Matthews (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against the Magic.
Impact Matthews is slated to miss a seventh straight game due to a right calf strain. It's unclear when he'll suit up again, but his next chance to do so will arrive Thursday against Brooklyn.
MARCH 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jrue Holiday - Questionable Tuesday Holiday (neck) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Magic.
Impact Holiday will probably want to test his neck pregame Tuesday evening, so he's likely headed for a game-time decision. If he's not able to give it a go, that would open up some more minutes for Pat Connaughton and Jevon Carter, with guys like Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez seeing an uptick in usage.
