Logs career highs in win Dieng finished Wednesday's 119-113 loss to the Rockets with 36 points (15-31 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 10 assists, seven rebounds and one steal across 45 minutes.

Impact Dieng struggled from three-point range but made the most of his increased opportunities with Milwaukee shorthanded in the second leg of this back-to-back set. The 22-year-old forward returned to the first unit after coming off the bench in Tuesday's win over Dallas, and he dropped a game- and career-high 36 points. The fourth-year pro also dished out a game- and career-best 10 dimes, marking his sixth consecutive contest with at least four assists. Dieng should continue to see significant burn for the Bucks, who have already been eliminated from playoff contention and will likely want an extended look at him before he enters restricted free agency this summer.

Starting Wednesday Dieng will start Wednesday's game against the Rockets, per Lachard Binkley of SI.com.

Impact After shifting to the bench for Tuesday's win over the Mavericks upon Kuzma's return, Dieng will immediately rejoin the first unit for the second leg of Milwaukee's back-to-back set. The 22-year-old forward remained highly productive despite his brief reserve role Tuesday, posting an 11-point, 10-rebound double-double across 29 minutes. With Kuzma officially sidelined again, Dieng is primed for a heavy workload.

Fills stat sheet in win Dieng finished with 11 points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 123-99 victory over Dallas.

Impact Dieng returned to the bench due to the return of Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) to the lineup, but he still posted an impressive double-double. Dieng is finally getting consistent minutes at the NBA level, and he's proving he can perform at a decent level. Over his last eight games (six starts), Dieng is averaging 12.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.3 steals across 29.4 minutes per game while posting double-digit scoring numbers in six of those outings. Even if he ends the regular season coming off the bench, he's an option worth keeping close tabs on as a potential streamer, mainly in category-based leagues due to his ability to fill the stat sheet.

With that said, Dieng was still productive in his last appearance as a reserve, finishing with 19 points, five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 30 minutes in the 123-116 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers back on March 17.

Impact Returning to the starting five after he came off the bench Tuesday in his return from a two-game absence due to an illness, Dieng made a minor splash at both ends of the court, and his 25 minutes actually led the Bucks. Dieng has drained multiple threes in six of his eight appearances in March (seven starts), averaging 10.5 points, 4.1 boards, 2.8 assists and 2.3 threes in 27.6 minutes while shooting 47.4 percent from long distance.
