Cameron Payne - Minimal production off benchPayne ended with zero points (0-1 FG) and one assist across 12 minutes during Friday's 110-105 win over the Knicks.

ImpactPayne played double-digit minutes off the bench for a fourth consecutive game Friday, but he had minimal results. He averaged 10.6 points and 4.7 assists in 21.1 minutes per game with the Suns over the past two seasons but has averaged just 4.6 points in 13.4 minutes per game over his first five appearances with the Bucks.

Khris Middleton - Nears double-double in winMiddleton ended Friday's 110-105 win over the Knicks with 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt), nine rebounds and four assists across 21 minutes.

ImpactMiddleton has had his playing time monitored early this year after undergoing offseason knee surgery, but he topped 20 minutes for the first time during Friday's victory. He scored in double figures for a second consecutive game and came within one rebound of his first double-double of the season. The 32-year-old has averaged 8.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 17.8 minutes per game to begin the season and appears to be trending in the right direction.

Julius Randle - Records inefficient double-doubleRandle closed with 16 points (5-20 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 5-9 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and two steals over 39 minutes during Friday's 110-105 loss to Milwaukee.

ImpactRandle wasn't very efficient from the floor Friday, but he was still one of four Knicks to score in double figures while also posting his fifth double-double over the first six games of the season. The 28-year-old has struggled mightily with efficiency to begin the 2023-24 campaign, as he's posted 27.1/22.5/61.8 percent shooting splits over six appearances. However, he's still had plenty of shot volume and has been a force on the boards.

Jalen Brunson - Drops 45 points in defeatBrunson finished Friday's 110-105 loss to the Bucks with 45 points (17-30 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 9-11 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 42 minutes.

ImpactBrunson has steadily improved as a scorer in recent seasons, and he scored at least 40 points for the fifth time in his career during Friday's matchup. The 27-year-old has been a force on the scoreboard early this year, averaging 24.7 points to go with 4.3 assists and 4.0 rebounds in 35.0 minutes per game.

Mitchell Robinson - Held scoreless with 15 boardsRobinson totaled zero points (0-4 FG), 15 rebounds and one assist in 29 minutes during Friday's 110-105 loss to Milwaukee.

ImpactAlthough Robinson was unable to generate any points Friday, he was dominant on the boards with a team-high 15 rebounds. The 25-year-old has hauled in at least 13 boards in four of his last five appearances but has yet to score in double figures over the first six games of the season. Robinson is averaging 5.2 points and 12.0 rebounds in 28.8 minutes per game to begin the year.

Brook Lopez - Swats eight shots FridayLopez recorded 13 points (4-15 FG, 4-10 3Pt), eight blocks, five rebounds and one steal in 36 minutes in Friday's 110-105 win over the Knicks.

ImpactThough Lopez had gotten off to a slow start to the 2023-24 campaign and is now shooting just 40 percent from the field after Friday's game, fantasy managers can't complain too much after he posted huge numbers in the blocks and three-pointers categories. He had swatted just two shots through the Bucks' first four games, but after turning away eight shots Friday, he's now averaging 2.0 per game on the campaign.
