Bucks' Brook Lopez: Scores season-high 29 points
Lopez racked up 29 points (9-17 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds, five blocks and three steals across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 127-120 overtime win over the Pistons.
Lopez enjoyed his best game of the 2024-25 campaign so far, as his efficient shooting helped him record a season-high 29 points. The veteran big man had yet to score above 15 points in a game before Wednesday's win. Lopez has somewhat struggled with his efficiency this year, posting 40.9/30.8/75.0 shooting splits across his first 12 appearances.

Bucks' Taurean Prince: Hauls in season-high 10 rebounds
Prince recorded 15 points (6-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt), 10 rebounds and three assists in 45 minutes during Wednesday's 127-120 overtime victory over the Pistons.
Prince's season-high 10 rebounds helped him post his first double-double of the 2024-25 campaign. Prince has been one of the most efficient outside shooters this season, converting 53.2 percent of his 3.9 three-point attempts per contest through his first 12 appearances.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Season-high 59 points in win
Antetokounmpo finished Wednesday's 127-120 overtime victory over the Pistons with 59 points (21-34 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 16-17 FT), 14 rebounds, seven assists, three blocks and two steals over 44 minutes.
Antetokounmpo's efficient shooting helped him record a season-high 59 points, which was also the second-most of his career. The superstar forward also made a strong defensive impact, recording multiple steals and blocks in the same game for the first time in 2024-25. Over his first 11 appearances of the year, Antetokounmpo is averaging 33.3 points, 12.1 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.4 blocks in 35.5 minutes.

Bucks' Delon Wright: Gets starting nod Wednesday
Wright is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.
Wright will get the nod at point guard with Damian Lillard (concussion) and Ryan Rollins (shoulder) sidelined for this contest. Wright will combine with AJ Green to handle the point guard duties. This will be the first start of the season for the 10-year veteran.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Officially out Wednesday
Rollins (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game versus Detroit.
With Rollins and Damian Lillard (concussion) both sidelined, the Bucks will likely turn to AJ Green and Delon Wright to handle most of the minutes at point guard. Gary Trent and Andre Jackson could also benefit from boosts in playing time on the wing if Green is needed to take on more ball-handling responsibilities.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Out Wednesday with elbow issue
Portis has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Detroit due to a right elbow contusion, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Portis hadn't appeared on Milwaukee's initial injury report before he was unexpectedly ruled out approximately 90 minutes before tipoff. Starting center Brook Lopez has logged at least 35 minutes in three of Milwaukee's last six games, and a similar workload may be in store with Portis unavailable. The Bucks could also need Taurean Prince to pick up extra minutes at power forward, while rookie Tyler Smith could be a candidate to enter the rotation.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Likely to sit out Wednesday
Bucks head coach Doc Rivers said that Rollins (shoulder) is unlikely to play Wednesday versus Detroit, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Rollins is officially listed as questionable for the contest, but he looks set to miss the second end of the back-to-back set after he was removed from Tuesday's 99-85 win over the Raptors due to left shoulder instability. The third-year player made his first NBA start Tuesday, filling in for Damian Lillard (concussion) on his way to finishing with 12 points, five rebounds, five steals and three assists in 22 minutes before exiting with the shoulder issue. With Lillard already ruled out for Wednesday and Rollins also expected to sit out, Delon Wright, A.J. Green, Gary Trent and Andre Jackson could all see boosts in playing time out of the MIlwaukee backcourt.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Cleared to play Wednesday
Antetokounmpo (knee) will play Wednesday versus Detroit, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Antetokounmpo has now suited up for both ends of all three of the Bucks' back-to-back sets so far this season. With all of Bobby Portis (elbow), Damian Lillard (concussion) and Khris Middleton (ankle) sitting out Wednesday, Antetokounmpo could notice a bump in his already sizable 34.8 percent season-long usage rate.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Listed as questionable
Rollins (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Rollins left Tuesday's game against the Raptors due to left shoulder instability but said after the game that he expected to play Wednesday. Given the questionable tag, the Bucks may wait until after warmups to decide on his status ahead of the 8 p.m. ET tipoff. With Damian Lillard (concussion) ruled out for Wednesday, Rollins will be an appealing streaming option if he gets the green light to play after he produced 12 points, five rebounds, five steals and three assists in 22 minutes Tuesday.

Bucks' Khris Middleton: Out again Wednesday
Middleton (ankle) will not play Wednesday against the Pistons, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Middleton has yet to appear in a game this season and remains without a concrete return timetable. He should be considered doubtful for Saturday's game against the Hornets, barring an update from the Bucks. Taurean Prince should continue to start at small forward in Middleton's absence.

Bucks' Damian Lillard: Out again Wednesday
Lillard (concussion) will not play Wednesday against the Pistons, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Lillard will miss his second game in a row, which comes as little surprise after he first entered the league's concussion protocol Monday. With Lillard sidelined, AJ Green, Ryan Rollins (shoulder), Delon Wright and Pat Connaughton are all candidates to step into larger roles for the Bucks. After Wednesday's contest, the Bucks will have two days off before returning to action Saturday versus the Hornets.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Probable for Wednesday
Antetokounmpo (knee) is probable for Wednesday's game against Detroit, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Wednesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, but it sounds like Antetokounmpo will give it a go. With Damian Lillard (concussion) sidelined again, Antetokounmpo is looking at some serious usage in a great matchup.

Bucks' Bobby Portis: Productive off bench Tuesday
Portis finished with 17 points (8-17 FG, 1-7 3Pt) and eight rebounds in 18 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 99-85 victory over the Raptors.
The veteran big continues to struggle from beyond the arc, but Portis still managed to post solid numbers on the night. He's drained multiple threes only once in 11 games to begin the season, shooting a career-low 24.3 percent from downtown, but Portis has maintained a decent fantasy floor with 12.9 points and 8.2 boards a contest.

Bucks' Brook Lopez: Strong showing on defense
Lopez totaled 13 points (5-14 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 99-85 win over the Raptors.
It's the fourth time in 11 games to begin the season that Lopez has produced at least five combined steals and blocks. The 36-year-old center has had a rough start to the season otherwise, shooting just 38.8 percent from the floor and 26.3 percent from beyond the arc while averaging a career-low 9.4 points a contest with 4.8 boards, 2.2 blocks, 1.7 assists, 1.4 threes and 1.1 steals.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Delivers team-high 23 in win
Antetokounmpo registered 23 points (9-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-9 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and four blocks in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 99-85 victory over the Raptors.
The numbers were modest by Antetokounmpo's standards, but he led the Bucks in scoring in a battle between the two teams with the worst records in the NBA. The 29-year-old superstar has been nursing a sore knee of late, but nagging injuries haven't really slowed him down. Through his first 10 games of 2024-25, Antetokounmpo is averaging 30.7 points, 11.9 boards, 5.4 assists and 1.2 blocks while shooting 61.6 percent from the floor.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Expects to play Wednesday
Rollins (shoulder) said after Tuesday's 99-85 win over the Raptors that he expects to play Wednesday against Detroit, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
While starting Tuesday in place of Damian Lillard (concussion), Rollins was unable to return to the contest due to left shoulder instability, but he said after the game that it wasn't a serious issue. Rollins delivered a strong stat line in his 22 minutes before departing, finishing with 12 points (4-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt), five rebounds, five steals and three assists.
