  • Gary Trent Jr. SF | MIL

    Bucks' Gary Trent: Will play Wednesday

    Trent (hip) has been upgraded to available for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.

    Trent didn't play Tuesday against the Nets, but the veteran sharpshooter has been upgraded to available for the second leg of this back-to-back set. With Trent back in the mix, Cormac Ryan and Gary Harris are likely to see fewer minutes in the backcourt.

  • Kevin Huerter SG | DET

    Pistons' Kevin Huerter: Dealing with illness

    Huerter (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.

    Huerter was a late addition to the injury report, which is not a great sign in fantasy hoops. The Pistons may be getting some reinforcements Wednesday, however, as Cade Cunningham (chest) is expected to return.

  • Bobby Portis PF | MIL

    Bucks' Bobby Portis: Out again Wednesday

    Portis (wrist) is out for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.

    Portis will miss a ninth straight game due to a left wrist sprain. It remains to be seen whether he'll return to the court before the end of the regular season since the Bucks have nothing to play for. With Portis out, Pete Nance and Andre Jackson figure to see more minutes in the frontcourt.

  • Kyle Kuzma PF | MIL

    Bucks' Kyle Kuzma: Won't play Wednesday

    Kuzma (Achilles) is out for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.

    Kuzma missed the front end of this back-to-back set against the Nets due to right Achilles tendonopathy, and the same injury will keep him sidelined Wednesday as well. It remains to be seen if the veteran forward will be able to suit up for Milwaukee's final two games of the season against Brooklyn and Philadelphia on Friday and Sunday, respectively. Pete Nance, Taurean Prince and Andre Jackson should enjoy more minutes in the Bucks' depleted frontcourt due to the absence of Kuzma and others.

  • Ryan Rollins SG | MIL

    Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Available for Wednesday

    Rollins (hip) is available for Wednesday's game against Detroit.

    Rollins missed the front end of this back-to-back set, likely due to maintenance-related rest. The Bucks are missing a ton of players for this matchup, meaning Rollins is likely to see heavy usage. It will be interesting to see how many minutes he's allotted, however.

  • Myles Turner C | MIL

    Bucks' Myles Turner: Sitting out Wednesday

    Turner (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.

    Turner will be sidelined for a second straight contest. The Bucks are likely to proceed with caution given where they are in the standings. Jericho Sims and Pete Nance are likely to see sizable workloads with this news.

  • Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Another absence coming

    Antetokounmpo (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against Detroit.

    Antetokounmpo hasn't played since March 15 due to a left knee hyperextension and bone bruise, and at this point, it would be a shock if he returned for the final two regular-season games following Wednesday's contest. The Bucks continue to say Antetokounmpo isn't cleared for game action, but the superstar is frustrated and believes the team is intentionally holding him out.

  • Julius Randle PF | MIN

    Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Won't play vs. Orlando

    Randle is out for Wednesday's game against the Magic due to right hand soreness.

    Randle is one of several players who will miss the Timberwolves' second leg of this back-to-back set, as Ayo Dosunmu (rest), Anthony Edwards (knee) and Mike Conley (rest) are also out. With Randle sidelined, expect Kyle Anderson and Naz Reid to see more minutes in Minnesota's frontcourt. Randle's next chance to return will come against the Rockets on Friday.

  • Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Won't play Wednesday

    Edwards (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the Magic.

    Edwards missed the first leg of the back-to-back set Tuesday, and he won't suit up Wednesday either, giving him three straight games on the sidelines. The Timberwolves are being extremely cautious with the star guard, and it seems the goal is to have him as healthy as possible for the upcoming playoffs. With Edwards, Ayo Dosunmu (rest), Julius Randle (hand) and Mike Conley (rest) all out, Bones Hyland could see an expanded role in the backcourt after scoring 19 points in Tuesday's win over the Pacers.

  • Mike Conley PG | MIN

    Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Will sit out Wednesday

    Conley (rest) is out Wednesday against the Magic.

    Conley will take the night off for the second leg of this back-to-back set. With this news, Bones Hyland could step into a featured role in the backcourt with so many players getting the night off for Minnesota.
