Joey Baker - Scores nine points in win Baker chipped in nine points (2-8 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block across 36 minutes during Sunday's 87-79 OT victory over Wisconsin.
Impact Baker has started in two straight games, helping add another scoring threat from beyond the three-point line. As he's mostly ridden the bench this season, Baker is getting some chances late in his college career.
FEBRUARY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kobe Bufkin - Scored 28 in OT win Bufkin notched 28 points (10-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals in 42 minutes during Sunday's 87-79 OT win over Wisconsin.
Impact Bufkin set a new season-high for points in a game to take down the Badgers at home. Down the line, Bufkin could get even better as he's allowed more scoring responsibility than he already gets.
FEBRUARY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Hunter Dickinson - Logs double-double in win Dickinson produced 23 points (9-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 41 minutes during Sunday's 87-79 OT win over Wisconsin.
Impact Dickinson looked better in another tough contest after the defensive battle of winning at Rutgers four days ago. This was Dickinson's first time scoring over 20 in his last six games and it came at a crucial time with the season coming to a close.

Jett Howard - DNP vs. Wisconsin Howard (ankle) did not play during Michigan's game Sunday versus Wisconsin.
Impact Howard has sat out twice because of his injured ankle. Currently, Michigan's next game is scheduled to be at Illinois on March 2. Howard averaged 12.8 points and 3.0 rebounds across his six games played during February.
FEBRUARY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jett Howard - Game-time decision Sunday Howard (ankle) is a game-time decision before Michigan's game Sunday versus Wisconsin, according to Dylan Burkhardt of UMHoops.com.
Impact Howard sat out when Michigan played at Rutgers on Wednesday. Ideally for the Wolverines, he does not log another DNP during their next game.

Carter Gilmore helped Wisconsin contain Michigan's Hunter Dickson. Can he repeat that performance? Junior forward Carter Gilmore generally contributes in ways that don't show up in the box score. Post defense might be his No. 1 asset.

Terrance Williams - Hauls in nine rebounds Williams (knee) logged 22 minutes off the bench in Thursday's win over Rutgers and finished with four points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and a block.
Impact Williams was able to return after missing the last two games with a knee bruise, although he came off the bench for the first time this season. It's likely Williams returns to his usual spot in the first five as soon as Sunday versus Wisconsin with the Wolverines fighting for their tournament lives. For the year, he's averaging 6.7 points and 6.2 rebounds in 27.5 minutes per game.
FEBRUARY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jett Howard - Absent from lineup Thursday Howard (ankle) is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game versus Rutgers.
Impact As expected, Howard will sit out Thursday after sustaining a right-ankle injury in Sunday's win over Michigan State. His next chance to return to the court will come Sunday versus Wisconsin. With fellow starter Terrance Williams (knee) also out of the starting five, Will Tschetter and Joey Baker will both start versus the Scarlet Knights.
FEBRUARY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Terrance Williams - Won't start Thursday Williams (knee) is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against Rutgers.
Impact Williams was able to participate in pregame warmups Thursday after missing each of the previous two contests with a knee bruise. While he won't return to the starting five, the junior forward could still come off the bench versus Rutgers.
FEBRUARY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jett Howard - Appears set to sit out Thursday Howard (ankle) is not in uniform or going through early warmups ahead of Thursday's road game against Rutgers, Brian Fonseca of The Star-Ledger reports.
Impact Howard has not been able to practice since sustaining a right-ankle injury during Saturday's win against Michigan State. Therefore, it's not overly surprising to see the 6-foot-8 freshman will likely miss at least one additional contest while working through this issue. With Howard almost certainly out Thursday, look for senior Joey Howard to step up into a bigger role.
FEBRUARY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Terrance Williams - Going through pregame warmups Williams (knee) is warming up ahead of Thursday's game at Rutgers, Brian Fonseca of The Star-Ledger reports.
Impact Williams has missed the last two games with a knee bruise. However, he was able to return to practice in full Tuesday, and his ability to go through early pregame warmups provides additional confidence that the 6-foot-7 junior will suit up for Thursday's 8:30 p.m. EST tipoff. Williams has averaged 6.8 points and 6.1 rebounds while starting 25 games this season.
FEBRUARY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Terrance Williams - Puts in full practice Williams (knee) was a full participant in practice Tuesday but remains uncertain to play Thursday versus Rutgers, Tony Garcia of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact The 6-foot-7 junior forward has missed Michigan's last two games with a bruised knee, but his ability to put in a full practice bodes well for his chances of suiting up Thursday. A formal update on Williams' status may not arrive until shortly before Thursday's 8:30 p.m. ET tipoff, so those planning on deploying him in fantasy lineups will want to keep close tabs on the situation leading up to the start of the game.

Jett Howard - Not yet practicing Michigan associate head coach Phil Martelli said Wednesday that Howard hasn't resumed practicing since injuring his right ankle in last Saturday's 84-72 win over Michigan State, To...
Impact Martelli said Howard will be making the trip to New Jersey for Michigan's matchup with Rutgers on Thursday, but the star freshman's absence from practice creates some skepticism about his availability for that contest. For now, Howard should be viewed as questionable for the contest -- at best -- until Michigan offers another update on his status.
FEBRUARY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Dug McDaniel - Logs 18 points in win McDaniel posted 18 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Saturday's 84-72 victory over Michigan State.
Impact McDaniel led the Wolverines in scoring to defeat their in-state rivals. He's scored in double-figures just twice in the last eight games and is another guard to monitor apart from Jett Howard.
