Bucks' Jae Crowder: Pops for 18 in Sunday's win
Rotowire
Crowder supplied 18 points (7-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt), two rebounds and three steals across 32 minutes during Sunday's 140-129 victory over the Suns.
It's his best scoring effort since dropping 21 points against the Timberwolves on Feb. 8. Crowder has started 17 straight games, but he's scored in double digits only three times during that stretch while averaging 5.8 points, 3.6 boards, 1.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 threes in 23.8 minutes a contest. Despite his consistent role, Crowder doesn't offer enough from a fantasy perspective to be worth rostering in the vast majority of formats, and he'll likely retreat to a reserve role when Khris Middleton (ankle) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) are both available.
Crowder produced two assists and one steal over 16 minutes during Tuesday's 129-94 loss to the Kings.
Crowder played only 16 minutes, but a goose egg from a starter is never a good sign. The Bucks have dropped three of their last four games and need more support for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Crowder is conspicuously inefficient. He's failed to reach double-digit scoring in seven consecutive games.

Bucks' Jae Crowder: Likely to play against Warriors
Rotowire
Crowder is listed as probable for Wednesday's game versus the Warriors due to a left knee contusion.
It's unclear when Crowder suffered his left knee injury, but it isn't expected to keep him out of Wednesday's contest. If Crowder is upgraded to available, he should make his 12th straight start, as Khris Middleton (ankle) remains out.

Bucks' Jae Crowder: Held in check
Rotowire
Crowder logged three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 18 minutes during Monday's 113-106 victory over the Clippers.
Considering Giannis Antetokounmpo (Achilles) was sidelined, this was a very disappointing showing for Crowder. Damian Lillard and Bobby Portis combined for 69 points, while Crowder couldn't generate much at all. That's been the case quite often in recent games, as he's scored a total of 10 points in his last three appearances.

Bucks' Jae Crowder: Meager output continues
Rotowire
Crowder notched four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds and one steal across 24 minutes during Thursday's 113-110 loss to the Grizzlies.
After a 21-point outburst against Minnesota on Feb. 8, Crowder has totaled just 13 points over Milwaukee's last four games. If Khris Middleton (ankle) remains out following the All-Star break, Crowder figures to remain in the starting lineup -- he's started five straight and six of the last seven -- but the veteran isn't producing enough to be on fantasy radars in standard leagues despite being a key part of the Bucks' rotation. Danilo Gallinari's presence could also eat into Crowder's workload.

Bucks' Jae Crowder: Season-best game in starting lineup
Rotowire
Crowder finished Thursday's 129-105 loss to the Timberwolves with 21 points (7-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal over 37 minutes.
Crowder earned the starting nod with Khris Middleton (ankle) unavailable, leading all Bucks starters in scoring and rebounds while adding a handful of assists and connecting on a quartet of threes in one of his best outings of the season. Crowder set a season-high mark in scoring, rebounds and assists, and he's tallied at least 10 points and five rebounds in two of his five starts this year.

Bucks' Jae Crowder: Starting Thursday

Bucks' Jae Crowder: Listed as probable
Rotowire
Crowder is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves due to a left ankle sprain.
With Khris Middleton (ankle) sidelined, Crowder will need to play a key role, so it's concerning to see him land on the injury report, even if it's a minor issue. Thursday's matchup is the front half of a back-to-back set, so it wouldn't be surprising to see a few veterans like Crowder get a rest day Friday against the Hornets.
