Impact Lillard was the leading scorer Wednesday as he scored one more point than Jayson Tatum. Lillard has now scored 30-plus points in each of his last two games with Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) sidelined over that span. Lillard is averaging 25.6 points on 44.6 percent shooting (including 42.4 percent from three on 9.4 3PA/G), 4.1 rebounds and 8.6 assists over 36.7 minutes per game in March.

Monster game in reserve vs. Boston Portis finished with 24 points (11-20 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 15 rebounds and one block over 33 minutes in Wednesday's 122-119 loss to the Celtics.

Impact With Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) sidelined for the second-straight game, Portis ate up the forward minutes off the bench and registered his 12th double-double of the season. It was a nice follow-up from his 31-point performance Sunday against the Suns, though Milwaukee wasn't able to come away with the win Wednesday. Portis is averaging 17.6 points on 54.0 percent shooting (including 48.1 percent from three on 3.0 3PA/G) and 9.1 rebounds over 26.3 minutes per game in March.

Antetokounmpo to miss second straight game when Bucks face Celtics on Wednesday

Giannis Antetokounmpo will miss his second straight game Wednesday night when the Milwaukee Bucks visit the NBA-leading Boston Celtics

MARCH 20 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Cleared to play Beauchamp (back) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Celtics.

Impact No surprise here, as Beauchamp was considered probable before this update. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) sidelined, Beauchamp could potentially see a handful of minutes Wednesday.

Ruled out for Wednesday Antetokounmpo (hamstring) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Celtics, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Antetokounmpo practiced on Monday and was carrying a questionable tag prior to this update, but the Bucks will err on the side of caution and will hold out their franchise player for a second straight game. In his absence, there will be more usage available for guys like Bobby Portis, Khris Middleton and Damian Lillard.

Listed probable for Wednesday Beauchamp (back) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.

Impact Beauchamp will likely return from a three-game absence, but he's not guaranteed playing time if he does suit up. He hasn't played double-digit minutes since Jan. 17.

MARCH 19 • ROTOWIRE

Listed questionable for Wednesday Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.

Impact Antetokounmpo missed Sunday's win over the Suns but logged a full practice Monday, though the session wasn't overly intensive, per coach Doc Rivers. Bobby Portis shined in Antetokounmpo's absence last time out, but Khris Middleton and Damian Lillard also had strong offensive games.

MARCH 19 • ROTOWIRE

Practices Tuesday Antetokounmpo (hamstring) practiced Tuesday, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact While Antetokounmpo fully participated, coach Doc Rivers said it was a relatively light session, so the MVP candidate's status is still murky ahead of Wednesday's showdown in Boston, which is the front half of a back-to-back set. Bobby Portis shined in Antetokounmpo's absence versus the Suns on Sunday.

Boston takes on Milwaukee, seeks 7th straight win

Boston looks to continue its six-game win streak with a victory over Milwaukee

Scores 17 points in win Beasley finished with 17 points (6-11 FG, 5-8 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists in 29 minutes during Sunday's 140-129 win over the Suns.

Impact Beasley returned from a one-game absence due to back spasms and was rejuvenated. He had shot just 31.3 percent from the field in his previous six games, so a healthy Beasley could be a game-changer for Milwaukee's three-point shooting.

MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE

Pops for 18 in Sunday's win Crowder supplied 18 points (7-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt), two rebounds and three steals across 32 minutes during Sunday's 140-129 victory over the Suns.

Impact It's his best scoring effort since dropping 21 points on the Timberwolves back on Feb. 8. Crowder has started 17 straight games, but he's only scored in double digits three times during that stretch while averaging 5.8 points, 3.6 boards, 1.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 threes in 23.8 minutes a contest. Despite his consistent role, Crowder doesn't offer enough from a fantasy perspective to be worth rostering in the vast majority of formats.

MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE

Ties season scoring high Portis closed with 31 points (13-20 FG, 5-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists and three steals across 30 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 140-129 victory over the Suns.

Impact The double-double was the 11th of the season for Portis, while the 31 points tied his best scoring performance of the season -- he also erupted for 31 against the Pistons on Dec. 16. The 29-year-old big has hit for at least 20 points four times in the last 10 games as the Bucks' primary second-unit threat, a stretch in which he's averaging 16.9 points, 8.5 boards, 1.6 assists, 1.3 threes and 0.9 steals while shooting 53.4 percent from the floor.
