Sims accumulated 12 points (6-9 FG), eight rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 96-90 loss to the Nets.

Sims has started in six of the Bucks' last nine games. Even though the results have been underwhelming at times, Sims is a decent low-end fantasy option who can stuff the stat sheet and contribute in points, rebounds and assists. Even if he has failed to score in double digits in five of those nine games, he's still averaging a decent, yet unspectacular, line of 8.1 points, 7.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game while shooting 67.4 percent from the floor.

Podziemski finished Tuesday's 110-105 win over Sacramento with 20 points (5-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal in 30 minutes.

The third-year guard continues to roll. Podziemski has scored at least 14 points and drained multiple three-pointers in eight straight games, averaging 20.5 points, 5.5 boards, 4.4 assists, 2.8 threes and 1.1 steals over that stretch while shooting 54.1 percent from the floor and 45.8 percent from long distance.

Prince notched 16 points (6-15 FG, 4-12 3Pt), 11 rebounds, four assists and one block over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 96-90 loss to the Nets.

Prince needed 15 shots to score 16 points, but he continued his strong play and has surpassed the 15-point mark in three straight games, including in five of the Bucks' last seven. Prince is one of several role players who are benefiting from an uptick in playing time in the final days of the regular season. Over that aforementioned seven-game stretch, Prince is averaging 13.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game while shooting 44.2 percent from beyond the arc.

Melton supplied 21 points (7-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 110-105 victory over Sacramento.

The 21 points led all scorers on the night and represented Melton's best scoring effort since he delivered 27 points against the Wizards on March 16. The 27-year-old guard remained in the starting five Tuesday while Stephen Curry came off the bench for a second straight game, but the two could swap places once Curry is cleared for a full workload. Melton has started 22 straight games since Curry was originally shut down in early February with a knee injury, averaging 13.7 points, 3.5 boards, 2.9 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.7 threes in 25.2 minutes over that span.

McDermott provided 16 points (5-13 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 110-105 loss to the Warriors.

The veteran forward set a new season scoring high as he attempted double-digit three-pointers for the first time in 2025-26. McDermott has drained at least one trey in 13 straight appearances, averaging 21.2 minutes, 7.8 points, 2.3 threes, 1.8 boards and 1.3 assists over that stretch.

Hayes accumulated 18 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and four steals over 32 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 110-105 loss to Golden State.

The 18 points led the Kings on the night while also being a season high for Hayes, as were his four steals. The former Piston has seen a bigger role over the last month or so in Sacramento's threadbare backcourt, but it hasn't translated into consistent offensive production. He's scored in double digits just twice in the last six games, averaging 19.2 minutes, 6.8 points, 4.5 assists, 2.3 boards, 1.8 steals and 1.0 threes during that span.

Green posted 20 points (6-13 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal over 39 minutes during Tuesday's 96-90 loss to Brooklyn.

Green continues to deliver elite three-point shooting numbers for an underwhelming Bucks squad that has nothing to play for in the final days of the regular season. Green has drained five or more threes in three of his last four games, and he should continue to benefit from an expanded role on offense. He's scored at least 15 points in five of his last six appearances, averaging 14.7 points per game and shooting 46.2 percent from deep over that stretch.

Williams produced 19 points (7-9 FG, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds and three steals across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 119-105 loss to the Rockets.

Williams had a positive result in the defeat. He's averaged a solid 15.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.3 blocks and 1.3 steals since returning from a 15-game absence. The Suns went 8-7 without their starting center, and their chances of playing better than break-even ball increase with a healthy big man under the basket.

Green ended Tuesday's 119-105 loss to the Rockets with 15 points (5-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), three rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 32 minutes.

Green endured an ice-cold shooting night during the loss and underperformed in every major category. Tuesday was a significant regression for Green, who rattled off two 25-point games against Charlotte and Chicago before facing the Rockets. There's no difference between the seventh and eighth seeds in the Play-In tournament, so the Suns can tolerate an off night from Green for now.

Booker finished with 31 points (7-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 15-16 FT), four rebounds and eight assists over 39 minutes during Tuesday's 119-105 loss to Houston.

Booker followed up a 30-point night against the Bulls with another solid outcome against the Rockets. A hot start wasn't enough to turn the tide, and it was a critical loss against a team that they are currently fending off for the seventh seed in the Western Conference. Although the upcoming matchup against the Mavericks is winnable, the team will rely on big nights from Booker as the Suns round out the season against the Lakers and the Thunder.
