Bucks' Gary Trent: Quiet with two points
Trent finished with two points (1-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt), two rebounds and three steals across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 106-103 victory over the Heat.
Trent's streak of games with double-digit points ended at six Tuesday as the shooting guard posted a dud in the win over Miami. Trent's fantasy appeal comes mostly from his perimeter shooting, as he averaged 3.7 triples in his previous six contests.

Bucks' Brook Lopez: Three rejections in Tuesday's win
Lopez chipped in 13 points (5-6 FG, 3-3 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and three blocks across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 106-103 win over the Heat.
The veteran center did what he does best, recording at least three blocks and three three-pointers in the same game for the fourth time in the last seven contests. Over that stretch, Lopez is averaging 17.0 points, 5.9 boards, 2.9 threes, 2.6 rejections, 1.9 assists and 1.7 steals while shooting 59.5 percent from the floor and a blistering 51.3 percent (20-for-39) from beyond the arc.

Bucks' Andre Jackson: Season-best effort on glass
Jackson chipped in six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 106-103 win over the Heat.
Getting his sixth straight start while the Bucks wait for Khris Middleton (ankle) to make his 2024-25 debut, Jackson pulled down a season-high nine boards and recorded at least one block and one steal for the second time in the last three contests. The 2023 second-round pick has averaged 21.3 minutes over 13 games (nine starts) in November, but that increased court time hasn't resulted in much production -- he's averaging just 4.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.8 threes, 0.7 steals and 0.4 blocks a game.

Bucks' Damian Lillard: Lights it up from outside
Lillard finished Tuesday's 106-103 win over the Heat with 37 points (10-17 FG, 8-13 3Pt, 9-9 FT), three rebounds, 12 assists, one block and one steal across 38 minutes.
Lillard took on an increased offensive workload with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) out and led Milwaukee in points and assists during Tuesday's narrow win. The star guard has now recorded a double-double in four of his last five outings. Lillard has also not played fewer than 32 minutes in any of his 15 appearances this season.

Bucks' AJ Green: Starting vs. Miami
Green is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Heat.
The Bucks will be without Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) for this matchup, and Green will move into the starting lineup as a result. He'll slot in at shooting guard, meaning Andre Jackson and Taurean Prince will start at small forward and power forward, respectively. This will be Green's third start of the season, and in the previous two he's averaged 7.5 points and 3.5 rebounds per contest.

Bucks' Tyler Smith: Won't play Tuesday
Smith (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Heat.
Smith won't suit up while dealing with a non-COVID illness. The rookie's absence shouldn't cause any waves in the rotation as he has yet to surpass double-digit minutes through nine regular-season outings.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Won't play against Miami
Antetokounmpo (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game versus the Heat.
Antetokounmpo was initially deemed probable for Tuesday's contest due to a left calf strain but has now been downgraded to out due to a left knee effusion. Bobby Portis will likely receive increased playing time in the superstar forward's absence. Antetokounmpo's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Washington.

Bucks' AJ Johnson: Available Tuesday
Johnson (Achilles) is listed as available for Tuesday's game against the Heat.
Johnson is available to play Tuesday while dealing with left Achilles tendinitis. However, he likely won't see significant minutes as he's averaged only 2.0 minutes per game across four regular-season outings.

Bucks' MarJon Beauchamp: Good to go Tuesday vs. Heat
Beauchamp (hamstring) is listed as available for Tuesday's game against the Heat.
Beauchamp will suit up after receiving a probable tag for the second consecutive game due to a left hamstring injury. However, the 24-year-old forward's status has been irrelevant in fantasy formats thus far, as he has averaged only 2.9 minutes per game over 10 regular-season appearances.

Bucks' Taurean Prince: Good to go Tuesday
Prince (illness) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Heat.
Prince has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with an illness. The veteran forward has been scorching the nets from beyond the arc this season, converting 53.1 percent of his 3.8 three-point attempts per contest.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Deemed questionable Tuesday
Antetokounmpo (knee/calf) has been downgraded to questionable for Tuesday's game against the Heat, Jamal Collier of ESPN.com reports.
Antetokounmpo was previously listed as probable due to a minor calf strain, though he has been downgraded to questionable with a left knee effusion as well. If the two-time MVP is unable to suit up for the NBA Cup matchup, Bobby Portis will likely draw the start.

Bucks' Khris Middleton: Nearing return to game action
Middleton (ankle) is targeting a return to game action sometime after Thanksgiving Day, Shams Charania reported Tuesday on ESPN's "NBA Today" program.
For the first time in his long recovery process from bilateral ankle surgeries, Middleton took part in full 5-on-5 scrimmage work during Monday's practice. Charania relays that Middleton has been medically cleared to play, but the veteran wing is now working on his conditioning and will remain out for a few more games before making his 2024-25 debut. Middleton appeared in 55 games for the Bucks last season and averaged 15.1 points, 5.3 assists, 4.7 rebounds, 1.7 three-pointers and 0.9 steals in 27.0 minutes per game. The 33-year-old will likely be subject to a minutes restriction once he's officially cleared to play and could see his playing time ramp up slowly.

Bucks' Tyler Smith: Iffy for Tuesday
Smith is questionable for Tuesday's game against Miami with a non-COVID-19-related illness.
Smith isn't typically in the Milwaukee rotation, so his availability (or lack thereof) won't carry many implications in fantasy leagues.

Bucks' Taurean Prince: Upgraded to probable
Prince (illness) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against Miami.
Prince was questionable on the initial injury report released Monday, but he's trending towards suiting up Tuesday. The veteran forward has averaged 9.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers, 1.8 assists and 1.2 steals in 27.2 minutes over his last five outings.

Bucks' Khris Middleton: Remains out
Middleton (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Heat.
Middleton continues to be limited in his rehab and doesn't have a return timetable. He can be considered doubtful for future contests, barring a return to full-contact drills. Andre Jackson and Taurean Prince (illness) have seen increased roles in Middleton's prolonged absence.

Bucks' MarJon Beauchamp: Listed as probable for Tuesday
Beauchamp (hamstring) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Heat.
This will be Beauchamp's second probable tag in a row. However, his status is irrelevant in fantasy formats, as he hasn't been able to crack the rotation for the Bucks.

Bucks' AJ Johnson: Probable for Tuesday
Johnson (Achilles) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Heat.
Johnson has yet to play more than three minutes in an NBA contest this season, so the rookie guard remains off the fantasy radar in most formats.
