Officially questionable Beverley (wrist) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.
Impact Beverley announced on his podcast Wednesday that he has been diagnosed with a torn ligament in his right wrist, which may require surgery. He noted that the recovery time from the surgery would be 3-to-4 months, but it looks like he's going to try to play through it and push the procedure until the offseason. If Beverley misses any time, AJ Green and Pat Connaughton would be candidates for increased playing time.

Could miss rest of season Beverley announced on the Pat Bev Pod that his right wrist has a torn ligament and that it needs to be surgically repaired.
Impact The Bucks haven't announced any updates, but Beverley said he could end up missing several months if he goes through with the surgery. If that's the case, Milwaukee could turn to guys like AJ Green and Pat Connaughton to pick up some of the backup point guard reps. In 19 appearances with the Bucks, Beverley holds averages of 5.1 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.2 assists.

Unimpressive in loss Lillard accumulated 27 points (9-29 FG, 3-14 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 49 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 128-124 double-overtime loss to...
Impact Lillard posted his 34th game of the year with at least 25 points, although that number pales in comparison to his 44 games with 25-plus points last year. He also facilitated while committing only two turnovers, but he had no offensive rhythm from anywhere on the court Tuesday. There will be better days ahead for the 33-year-old, who is still knocking down 40.0 percent of 9.6 threes through 12 contests in March.

Rebounding reinforcements Portis closed Tuesday's 128-124 double-overtime loss to the Lakers with 18 points (7-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, one block and one steal over 30 minutes.
Impact Portis and Giannis Antetokounmpo (29 points, 21 rebounds) combined to account for 55.7 percent of Milwaukee's rebounds as a team -- although Los Angeles still won the rebounding battle 69 to 61. Tuesday represents a quintessential performance of the best Portis brings off Milwaukee's bench, contributing via efficient scoring, reliable floor spacing and two-way rebounding energy.

Triple-double to no avail Antetokounmpo totaled 29 points (14-25 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-6 FT), 21 rebounds, 11 assists, three blocks and two steals over 46 minutes during Tuesday's 128-124 double-overtime loss to t...
Impact From the fourth quarter onward, Antetokounmpo was held to just three buckets. While Anthony Davis (34 points, 23 rebounds) was a factor, midrange jumpers and bombing threes from Khris Middleton, Damian Lillard and Malik Beasley took over for Milwaukee. It was not a wise course of action, as Milwaukee squandered in 19-point lead with eight minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Antetokounmpo's do-it-yourself dominance has been on display in clutch scenarios for the past decade, but there seems to be more deliberate effort to get others involved down the stretch -- which feels like an inorganic process when Antetokounmpo remains as dominant as he is.
