Antetokounmpo contributed 24 points (10-15 FG, 4-8 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 26 minutes in Wednesday's 131-113 loss to the Hawks.

Antetokounmpo led all players in scoring on efficient shooting from the field, though he struggled from the charity stripe. He was Milwaukee's only player to score more than 16 points as the Bucks lost their fourth consecutive contest. The two-time MVP saw just one more minute than he did in Monday's loss to Boston -- his return from a 15-game absence due to a right calf strain -- suggesting the Bucks will continue to slowly ease him back into game action. In two outings since the extended absence, he has totaled 43 points, 16 rebounds and six assists in 51 minutes.

Potter (ankle) returned to Wednesday's game against the Clippers with 5:45 remaining in the third quarter, per the broadcast.

Potter limped to the locker room after turning his right ankle in the second quarter. The Wisconsin product was initially labeled as questionable to return but should be good to go for the remainder of the contest after checking back in.

Potter is questionable to return to Wednesday's game against the Clippers due to a right ankle injury, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Potter turned his right ankle in the second quarter and limped to the locker room before eventually joining his teammates on the bench. If the big man is unable to return, Jay Huff will likely see increased minutes for the remainder of the contest.

Niederhauser won't return to Wednesday's game against the Pacers due to a right foot injury, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports. He will finish with six points (2-2 FG, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two blocks across eight minutes.

Niederhauser landed awkwardly on his right foot after blocking a shot and required assistance getting back to the locker room. His status will be worth monitoring ahead of Friday's game in San Antonio. If the rookie big man is forced to miss time, Isaiah Jackson would likely see a bump in minutes behind Brook Lopez.

Potter exited Wednesday's game against the Clippers in the second quarter due to an apparent right ankle injury, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

Potter appeared to turn his ankle and hobbled down the court before eventually limping to the locker room. If he's unable to return, Jay Huff will likely see increased playing time the rest of the way.

Niederhauser exited to the locker room in the second quarter of Wednesday's game against the Pacers due to an apparent lower right leg injury, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Niederhauser came down awkwardly after blocking a shot and required assistance getting back to the locker room. If the rookie big man is unable to return, Brook Lopez and Isaiah Jackson should pick up the slack the rest of the way.

Holiday generated 35 points (13-19 FG, 8-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 assists, five rebounds and one steal across 32 minutes in Wednesday's 122-114 win over the Grizzlies.

Holiday took advantage of a favorable matchup Wednesday, knocking down a career-high-tying eight triples en route to a game- and season-best 35 points. The veteran point guard also dished out a game-high 11 assists, securing his fifth double-double of the season. The 35-year-old has reached the 20-point threshold in four of his last five appearances, averaging 23.0 points, 6.0 assists and 4.4 rebounds in 31.6 minutes per contest during that span.

Collier provided 18 points (5-10 FG, 8-8 FT), five assists, one block and three steals in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 106-102 loss to Philadelphia.

Collier gave the Jazz the spark off the bench that they needed during Wednesday's close loss, with the second-year pro leading the team with five dimes while finishing as Utah's second-leading scorer behind Keyonte George (30 points). Collier has taken on a larger role as the season has progressed, and since Feb. 1 he has averaged 17.1 points, 8.8 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 2.2 steals over 32.0 minutes per game in 13 outings (nine starts).

Maxey recorded 25 points (8-22 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six assists, two rebounds, three blocks and one steal over 38 minutes during the 76ers' 106-102 win over the Jazz on Wednesday.

Maxey didn't have the most efficient night from the field, but he took 10 more shots than any other of his teammates as he absorbed more attention from the Utah defense due to the absences of Joel Embiid (oblique), Paul George (suspension), VJ Edgecombe (back) and Kelly Oubre (illness). Maxey still finished as the team's leading scorer and contributed defensively with a game-high three blocks, which was also a season high that he set twice back in November. The two-time All-Star extended his 20-plus-point streak to 12 games in Wednesday's win. Over that 12-game span, Maxey has averaged 29.2 points, 6.3 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 2.8 threes, 2.1 steals and 0.8 blocks over 35.8 minutes per game, though he's connected on just 30.4 percent of his three-pointers in that period.

Hart contributed 10 points (4-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds and three assists in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 103-100 loss to the Thunder.

This marked Hart's 12th double-double of the season and the 118th of his career. He briefly exited Wednesday's game with a back issue but was able to return and play through it. Still, it wouldn't be surprising to see him appear on the injury report ahead of Friday's matchup in Denver. Until then, managers can operate under the assumption that no news is good news.
