Top Bucks News

  • Bucks' Malik Beasley: Scores 17 points in win

    Beasley finished with 17 points (6-11 FG, 5-8 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists in 29 minutes during Sunday's 140-129 win over the Suns.

    Beasley returned from a one-game absence due to back spasms and was rejuvenated. He had shot just 31.3 percent from the field in his previous six games, so a healthy Beasley could be a game-changer for Milwaukee's three-point shooting.

  • Bucks' Jae Crowder: Pops for 18 in Sunday's win

    Crowder supplied 18 points (7-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt), two rebounds and three steals across 32 minutes during Sunday's 140-129 victory over the Suns.

    It's his best scoring effort since dropping 21 points against the Timberwolves on Feb. 8. Crowder has started 17 straight games, but he's scored in double digits only three times during that stretch while averaging 5.8 points, 3.6 boards, 1.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 threes in 23.8 minutes a contest. Despite his consistent role, Crowder doesn't offer enough from a fantasy perspective to be worth rostering in the vast majority of formats, and he'll likely retreat to a reserve role when Khris Middleton (ankle) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) are both available.

  • Bucks' Bobby Portis: Ties season scoring high

    Portis closed with 31 points (13-20 FG, 5-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists and three steals across 30 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 140-129 victory over the Suns.

    With Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) out, Portis thrived off the bench. The double-double was the 11th of the season for Portis while the 31 points tied his best scoring performance of the season -- he also erupted for 31 against the Pistons on Dec. 16. The 29-year-old big has hit for at least 20 points four times in the last 10 games as the Bucks' primary second-unit threat, a stretch in which he's averaging 16.9 points, 8.5 boards, 1.6 assists, 1.3 threes and 0.9 steals while shooting 53.4 percent from the floor.

  • Bucks' Damian Lillard: Big double-double against Suns

    Lillard produced 31 points (10-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, 16 assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Sunday's 140-129 victory over Phoenix.

    With Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) getting the day off, Lillard stepped up with a big performance, topping 30 points for the third time in the last seven games while setting a new season high in assists. The veteran point guard has 11 double-doubles on the season, and three of them have come in March as he's averaged 24.8 points, 8.9 assists, 4.1 boards and 3.8 threes so far on the month.

  • Bucks' Khris Middleton: Productive in return

    Middleton (ankle) posted 22 points (8-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven assists, three rebounds and one steal across 25 minutes in Sunday's 140-129 win over the Suns.

    As expected, the Bucks managed Middleton's minutes carefully in his return from a 16-game absence due to a sprained left ankle, but the veteran wing looked spry in his first action since Feb. 6. While two-time league MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) sat out Sunday's contest, Middleton took on a 31.8 percent usage rate during his time on the court, narrowly outpacing Damian Lillard (30.4 percent) for the team lead. Though the extent of his offensive responsibility will likely take a hit if Antetokounmpo is back in action for the Bucks' next game Wednesday in Boston, Middleton could make up for any downturn in usage by picking up a few extra minutes. Head coach Doc Rivers hasn't specified what Middleton's restriction might look like Wednesday, but based on how he fared Sunday, the 32-year-old could realistically see a 30-minute role.

  • Bucks' TyTy Washington: Stuffs stat sheet in G League

    Washington recorded 24 points (10-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and six assists during 32 minutes of Friday's 109-106 loss to the Cruise.

    Washington paced the G League Herd in both points and assists, while notching the second most rebounds. In his last five G League appearances, Washington is averaging 22.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 7.4 assists.

  • Bucks' Khris Middleton: Will start in return

    Middleton (ankle) will start Sunday's game against the Suns, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

    It's safe to assume Middleton will be monitored closely during his first game since Feb. 6, but the Bucks will be without Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring), so Middleton needs to be aggressive when on the court. In 43 appearances this season, Middleton has averaged 14.8 points, 5.0 assists and 4.3 rebounds in 26.3 minutes per game.

  • Bucks' Patrick Beverley: Returns to bench Sunday

    Beverley will come off the bench with Khris Middleton (ankle) returning to the starting lineup Sunday versus Phoenix, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

    Beverley's sparkplug energy could be needed with Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) ruled out Sunday. Regardless, he will come off the bench, where he is averaging just 2.8 points and 2.5 rebounds in 19.0 minutes across his last four appearances with the second unit.

  • Bucks' MarJon Beauchamp: Ruled out Sunday

    Beauchamp (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Suns.

    Despite head coach Doc Rivers saying pregame that he expected Beauchamp, Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) and Malik Beasley (back) to all suit up, only Beasley has been upgraded to available. Beauchamp's absence for a third straight game shouldn't affect Milwaukee's rotation.

  • Bucks' Malik Beasley: Will play Sunday

    Beasley (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Suns.

    Beasley has been upgraded from questionable to available, while Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) and MarJon Beauchamp (back) have been downgraded to out. Beasley has struggled to start March, shooting just 31.3 percent over his last six appearances.

  • Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Officially ruled out

    Antetokounmpo won't play in Sunday's game against Phoenix due to left hamstring tendinopathy, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Listed as questionable heading into Sunday, Antetokounmpo appeared to be on track to play versus the Suns, as head coach Doc Rivers noted after Antetokounmpo took part in warmups that the star forward would likely play. In the end, Antetokounmpo will miss his first game since March 4, though his absence should be softened to some degree by the return of Khris Middleton (ankle) from a 16-game absence. Milwaukee has posted a 2-1 record without Antetokounmpo this season, earning wins over the Clippers and Raptors but getting blown out by Cleveland.

  • Bucks' MarJon Beauchamp: Expected to suit up

    Beauchamp (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Suns, but he's expected to suit up, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    While the second-year wing will likely be available, he's not guaranteed any playing time. Beauchamp has made just two appearances in March, totaling five minutes of action.

  • Bucks' Malik Beasley: Expected to play

    Beasley (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Suns, but he's expected to play, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Beasley was in danger of missing back-to-back games due to back spasms, but it looks like he'll be good to go Sunday. It's been a struggle for the sharpshooter recently, as he's shooting just 35.4 percent from the field over his last eight appearances.

  • Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Warming up, should play Sunday

    Antetokounmpo (hamstring) took part in the Bucks' morning warmups and appears in line to play in Sunday's game against Phoenix, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

    Antetokounmpo is questionable for Sunday's game due to left hamstring tendinopathy, but head coach Doc Rivers expects the two-time MVP to play, per Nehm. Official word on Antetokounmpo's availability should arrive closer to the 1 p.m. ET tipoff.

  • Bucks' Chris Livingston: Out with ankle sprain

    Livingston has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Suns due to a left ankle sprain.

    The injury is a new one for Livingston, who recently missed time due to a groin issue. Regardless, his absence shouldn't affect coach Doc Rivers' rotation.

  • Bucks' Malik Beasley: Questionable for Sunday

    Beasley (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Suns.

    Beasley is in danger of missing his second straight contest Sunday due to back spasms. If Beasley is ruled out, Patrick Beverley will likely remain in the starting five.

  • Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Iffy against Phoenix

    Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Suns.

    Antetokounmpo continues to deal with a hamstring injury but has suited up in each of Milwaukee's last five contests. If the superstar forward is ruled out, Jae Crowder, Danilo Gallinari and Pat Connaughton are candidates to receive increased playing time.

  • Bucks' MarJon Beauchamp: Questionable to play Sunday

    Beauchamp (back) is questionable to face the Suns on Sunday.

    Beauchamp has missed two games in a row due to back spasms, and given the nature of the injury, it would be surprising if he suited up for this matchup. Even in the event he ends up being available, Beauchamp isn't expected to play a major role in Doc Rivers' rotation.
