• Bucks' Kyle Kuzma: Hits for 22 in Sunday's finale

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Kuzma registered 22 points (8-10 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 12 minutes during Sunday's 140-133 overtime win over Detroit. The 29-year-old forward was the only member of the Bucks' usual starting five to see any court time at all, as there was nothing on the line for either team in the regular-season finale. Kuzma used the opportunity to deliver an incredibly efficient scoring effort, with the five made three-pointers tying his season high. Over eight games in April, Kuzma's averaging 14.1 points, 3.0 boards, 2.3 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.4 combined blocks and steals in 26.6 minutes a contest. That positions him for a key role when Milwaukee begins its playoff run Saturday in Indiana.

• Bucks' Kyle Kuzma: Puts up 17 points

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Kuzma supplied 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals across 28 minutes during Thursday's 136-111 victory over the Pelicans. The two steals were rare from Kuzma, but Thursday's performance was a step in the right direction. His overall fantasy appeal has left a lot to be desired, to be clear. Over his last 16 games, Kuzma is well outside the top-200 in nine-category formats with 14.4 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.6 steals, 0.5 blocks and 1.5 three-pointers on 45.2 percent from the field and 65.1 percent from the line.

• Bucks' Kyle Kuzma: Scores 16 points in win

  14D ago • By RotoWire

  Kuzma closed Thursday's 126-113 win over Philadelphia with 16 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal across 32 minutes. Kuzma struggled from the free-throw line, but other than that, it's hard to find any wrinkles in his performance, as the Bucks simply rode the hot hand of Giannis Antetokounmpo -- and in a lesser way, Brook Lopez -- to secure the victory. Kuzma at least managed to score in double digits for the 10th consecutive appearance, a stretch in which he's averaging 16.4 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game. He should continue to post decent numbers while enjoying an uptick in his usage rate due to the absence of Damian Lillard (calf) as the Bucks' second-best scoring option.
