Thanasis Antetokounmpo - Headed to G LeagueAntetokounmpo will join the Bucks' G League affiliate Wisconsin Herd, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
ImpactAntetokounmpo has struggled to earn a rotation spot with the Bucks, having appeared in just 2.5 minutes per game this season despite Milwaukee's injury struggles. However, he should be a top option with the Herd for as long as he remains on their roster.

MarJon Beauchamp - Sent back to G LeagueBeauchamp was assigned to the G League's Wisconsin Herd on Monday, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports
ImpactBeauchamp continues to split time in the NBA and the G League, being sent down alongside Khris Middleton (wrist) and Thanasis Antetokounmpo. Beauchamp will likely not be with the Herd long but will be a top option for the team for the duration of his stay.

Khris Middleton - Assigned to G LeagueMiddleton (wrist) was sent back to the G League on Monday, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
ImpactMiddleton has bounced back and forth between the NBA and G League as part of his rehab from an offseason procedure on his wrist. Despite his designation, he has not been ruled out for the Bucks' game Wednesday against the Knicks and could possibly make his debut if all goes well in the G League.

Christian Wood - Shines in loss, starts second halfWood finished with 21 points (8-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal across 32 minutes in Sunday's 124-115 loss to the Bucks.
ImpactWood has generally served as the Mavericks' first big man off the bench this season, but he could get the chance to displace Dwight Powell on the top unit as soon as the Mavericks' next game Tuesday against the Warriors. Not only was Powell limited to eight minutes Sunday while third-string center JaVale McGee was on the court for just four minutes, but Wood also opened the second half with the starters. Even in 25.5 minutes per game this season, Wood has been a strong source of counting stats (17.1 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.5 three-pointers and 1.1 steals per contest) while shooting 56.6 percent from the field, but his fantasy value would climb to another level if he's able to consistently reach the low-30-minute range in a starting role.

Grayson Allen - Pours in 25 points in winAllen finished with 25 points (8-10 FG, 7-8 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five assists, two rebounds, two steals and one block across 32 minutes during Sunday's 124-115 victory over the Mavericks.
ImpactAfter falling into a massive shooting slump in October, Allen appears to have rediscovered his touch thus far in November. On the heels of Sunday's season-high scoring effort, Allen is now averaging 12.3 points and 2.4 three-pointers on 53.2 percent shooting from the field over 11 appearances in November. He's supplemented his point production by dishing out exactly five assists and recording exactly two steals in two consecutive games, but expect some reduction in Allen's outputs across the board whenever Khris Middleton (wrist) is deemed ready to make his 2022-23 debut.

Giannis Antetokounmpo - Shines against DallasAntetokounmpo totaled 30 points (11-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Sunday's 124-115 victory over the Mavericks.
ImpactAntetokounmpo had another double-double, his fourth one over his last six contests, and the Greek star also recorded at least 25 points for the fifth game in a row. The NBA's leader in usage rate is off to another strong start, though he's down to a career-worst 60.0 percent at the free throw line (12.5 FTA/G), which significantly drags down his value in category leagues.
