Top Bucks News

  • Bucks' Tyler Smith: Iffy for Game 3

    Smith (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's Game 3 against the Pacers.

    Smith is in danger of missing his third straight game Friday due to a sprained left ankle. However, Smith isn't expected to be heavily featured in Milwaukee's playoff rotation, even when available.

  • Bucks' Kyle Kuzma: Bounces back in loss

    Kuzma totaled 12 points (5-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 123-115 loss to Indiana in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    After a miserable performance in Game 1 in which he failed to score in 22 minutes, Kuzma was a bright spot in Tuesday's loss. Coach Doc Rivers seems intent on leaning on Kuzma and Bobby Portis in this series at the expense of Brook Lopez and Taurean Prince, though changes could be coming with the Bucks down 2-0.

  • Bucks' Brook Lopez: Sees reduced workload

    Lopez logged eight points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and four blocks in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 123-115 loss to the Pacers in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    After playing a key role in the regular season with 31.8 minutes per game, Lopez's workload in the playoffs has tanked. Through the opening two games, the veteran center is averaging 18.5 minutes per night with 8.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.0 blocks. With the Bucks staring at a 2-0 deficit, it will be interesting to see what coach Doc Rivers tweaks going forward.

  • Bucks' Taurean Prince: Sees just 19 minutes

    Prince registered six points (2-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four assists and two steals across 19 minutes during Tuesday's 123-115 loss to the Pacers in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Prince has seen a reduced role through the opening two games of this series. He's averaging 19.5 minutes per contest with 3.0 points, 3.5 assists, 1.0 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers on a combined 2-of-5 shooting from the field. At Prince's expense, the Bucks have been relying heavily on Bobby Portis and Gary Trent in the second unit.

  • Bucks' Kevin Porter: Plays well off bench

    Porter contributed nine points (4-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound and three assists in 15 minutes during Tuesday's 123-115 loss to the Pacers in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Porter was a bright spot off the bench for Milwaukee, but saw a total of just 15 minutes. Meanwhile, Gary Trent logged 30 minutes off the bench but had four points on 1-of-4 shooting. With the Bucks trailing 0-2, it will be interesting to see what tweaks coach Doc Rivers will make to his rotation.

  • Bucks' Gary Trent: Struggles in Game 2

    Trent logged four points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 123-115 loss to Indiana in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Similar to Game 1, Trent played a massive role off the bench, but he couldn't find his shot this time around. Kevin Porter was way more effective with nine points in 15 minutes, so it will be interesting to see if that affects Trent's workload going forward.

  • Bucks' Bobby Portis: Dominates off bench in Game 2 loss

    Portis ended with 28 points (11-19 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one block over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 123-115 loss to the Pacers in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Portis shined off the Bucks bench in Tuesday's Game 2, providing Milwaukee with a much-needed boost while leading all players in threes made and finishing second among Bucks players in scoring and rebounds in a double-double. Portis had a breakout performance Tuesday, a game after recording just four points and eight boards in Game 1. Milwaukee will need Portis to continue the Game 2 level of play if it wants to climb back into this series against Indiana.

  • Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Does it all in Game 2 defeat

    Antetokounmpo supplied 34 points (14-20 FG, 6-10 FT), 18 rebounds, seven assists and one block across 40 minutes during Tuesday's 123-115 loss to the Pacers in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Antetokounmpo did all he could in Game 2 to help Milwaukee come out on top, leading all players in scoring and rebounds while handing out a team-high-tying assist total in an all-around performance. Antetokounmpo has led the way for the Bucks over the first two games, averaging 35 points and 15 rebounds per contest.

  • Bucks' Damian Lillard: Rough shooting night in return

    Lillard (calf) totaled 14 points (4-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven assists and three rebounds across 37 minutes Tuesday in the Bucks' 123-115 loss to the Pacers in Game 2 of the first-round playoff series.

    Suiting up for the first time since March 18 after missing the final 14 games of the regular season along with the Bucks' Game 1 loss to the Pacers due to deep vein thrombosis in his right calf, Lillard surprisingly didn't operate with any playing-time restrictions, as he exceeded his season-long average of 36.1 minutes per contest. The veteran point guard's return didn't provide the sort of lift the Bucks may have been counting on, however, as Lillard struggled to find any sort of shooting rhythm. Bobby Portis (28 points) instead stepped up to provide the most support for star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (34 points), but better production from Lillard will be essential moving forward if the Bucks are to overcome the 2-0 series deficit.

  • Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Heading back to bench

    Rollins isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's Game 2 against the Pacers.

    Damian Lillard will replace Rollins in the starting five Tuesday after missing time due to a blood clot in his calf. Rollins has averaged 6.0 points, 2.3 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 10.1 minutes across his previous 10 appearances coming off the bench.

  • Bucks' Damian Lillard: Limited, but will start

    Head coach Doc Rivers said Lillard (conditiong) will start Tuesday in Game 2 of the Bucks' first-round series with the Pacers but will have his minutes monitored, Jeremiah Johnson of FanDuel Sports Network Indiana reports.

    Lillard will make his return to action Tuesday after missing the final 14 games of the regular season as well as the Bucks' Game 1 loss to the Pacers due to deep vein thrombosis in his right calf. While the star guard will almost certainly replace Ryan Rollins in the starting five against Indiana, Lillard could see less than his season average of 36.1 minutes per contest.

  • Bucks' Damian Lillard: Will play in Game 2

    Lillard (calf) has been cleared to play Tuesday in Game 2 of the Bucks' first-round playoff series versus the Pacers, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.

    Lillard will make his long-awaited return to the floor after missing the last 14 games of the regular as well as the Game 1 loss to Indiana due to a blood clot. While Lillard will likely start Tuesday, he could operate with a minute restriction since he may not be fully up to speed following the long layoff from game action.
