Impact Wigginton will miss a second consecutive contest due to a sprained right ankle. His absence won't affect much, as he's a fringe rotation option when the Bucks are near full health.

Their offense is clicking, but the Bucks are still searching for a defensive identity: 'We're trying to get better' After the All-Star break, the Bucks' offense has been the best in the league. The defense without Brook Lopez is still a work in progress.

Golden State hosts Milwaukee following Antetokounmpo's 43-point performance
Milwaukee visits the Golden State Warriors after Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 43 points in the Bucks' 124-115 victory over the Atlanta HawksMARCH 11, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Giannis Antetokounmpo - Blows up with 40-10 game Antetokounmpo registered 43 points (15-22 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 12-17 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 124-115 victory over the Hawks.
Impact Antetokounmpo continues to put up ridiculous numbers with incredible consistency, as he notched his fifth outing of the season with at least 40 points, 12 rebounds and five assists. Over his last nine games, the MVP candidate has averaged 33.3 points, 13.3 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.2 blocks in 34.2 minutes per contest. During that stretch, he's shooting 59.4 percent from the field, 35.5 percent from three-point land and 73.1 percent from the free-throw line. At this point, Antetokounmpo is a runaway train, and there doesn't appear to be any team capable of slowing him down.

Grayson Allen - Solid production in return Allen amassed 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 124-115 victory over the Hawks.
Impact Allen returned to action following a one-game absence due to hip soreness. The fourth-year pro played his usual floor-spacing role and produced right around his season averages. Allen continues to be a solid contributor for Milwaukee, especially given the prolonged absences of Pat Connaughton (finger) and George Hill (neck).
MARCH 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Bobby Portis - Continues strong play Portis provided 23 points (9-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 15 rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 124-115 win over the Hawks.
Impact Portis recorded his second double-double in a row and his fourth over the last seven games. During that stretch, the seventh-year forward has averaged 18.1 points and 10.1 rebounds in 30.6 minutes per game. He'll look to maintain his strong play Saturday against the Warriors.

Jordan Nwora - Shifts to bench Nwora will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
Impact As Grayson Allen returns to the starting lineup after a one-game absence due to hip soreness, Nwora will return to his usual reserve role. In Tuesday's win over the Thunder, Nwora contributed 11 points, seven rebounds and three assists in 38 minutes of action.

Lindell Wigginton - Out Wednesday Wigginton (ankle) won't play Wednesday against the Hawks, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Impact Wigginton was considered doubtful for Wednesday's contest due to a sprained right ankle, so it's not much of a surprise he'll be sitting out the second half of the back-to-back set. Jevon Carter and DeAndre' Bembry should continue to operate as Milwaukee's depth guards with George Hill (neck) and Pat Connaughton (finger) also still sidelined.
MARCH 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
George Hill - Remains out Wednesday Hill (neck) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.
Impact Coach Mike Budenholzer said Friday that he's "hopeful" Hill will be back in action this week, but the guard will be forced to miss the second half of a back-to-back set Wednesday. His next chance to return will be Saturday against Golden State.
MARCH 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Lindell Wigginton - Unlikely to play Wednesday Wigginton is doubtful for Wednesday's game against Atlanta due to a right ankle sprain.
Impact Wigginton rejoined the parent club after the All-Star break, but he hasn't had a significant role for Milwaukee. His likely absence won't impact the team's rotation.
MARCH 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Grayson Allen - Not on injury report Allen (hip) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.
Impact Allen missed Tuesday's game against the Thunder due to hip soreness, but he'll be back in action for the second half of the back-to-back set. Across his last five appearances, he's averaged 8.8 points and 2.8 rebounds in 25.4 minutes per game.
MARCH 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Pat Connaughton - On track in recovery Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer said Friday that Connaughton (finger) is progressing toward a return and will likely be ready to resume game action around his estimated four-week...
Impact Connaughton underwent surgery Feb. 14 to repair a fractured finger on his right hand, so he's approximately three and a half weeks into his recovery program. Assuming Connaughton experiences no setbacks while he regains conditioning and waits for the finger to fully heal, he could make his return at some point toward the back half of the Bucks' upcoming four-game, one-week road trip that kicks off Saturday at Golden State.
MARCH 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
George Hill - Could be back this week Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer said Friday that he's "hopeful" Hill (neck) returns to action within the next week, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Impact Hill has been sidelined since Jan. 28 with neck soreness, but the veteran guard is seemingly ramping up again and closing in on a return to action. The 35-year-old missed his 15th straight game Tuesday against the Thunder, and the Bucks might be inclined to hold him out for the second half of their back-to-back set Wednesday versus Atlanta. After Wednesday's contest, the Bucks have two straight off days before heading out on a road trip, so Saturday's game at Golden State may be a more realistic target for Hill's return.
MARCH 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Bobby Portis - Goes for double-double Portis ended with 18 points (7-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 142-115 victory over the Thunder.
Impact Portis was efficient on offense and aside from posting his first double-double of the month -- in four games -- he showed he can still produce on offense despite holding a secondary role in the Bucks' offensive scheme. Portis has scored in double digits in six of his last seven games, and he's averaging 17.3 points with 9.0 rebounds per game in that span.
MARCH 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Khris Middleton - Comes close to double-double Middleton contributed 25 points (9-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and nine assists over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 142-115 win over the Thunder.
Impact Middleton couldn't repeat the 44-point output he delivered Sunday against the Suns, but he still ended as Milwaukee's second-best scorer while also ending just one dime away of a double-double thanks to his team-high nine assists. Middleton has had some consistency issues this season and has gone through some poor stretches, but the star forward has now scored at least 22 points in five of his last six appearances.
MARCH 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Giannis Antetokounmpo - Bounces back against OKC Antetokounmpo amassed 39 points (13-19 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 9-13 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, three steals and one block across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 142-115 win over Oklahoma...
Impact In the Bucks' last game Sunday against the Suns, Antetokounmpo submitted a relatively disappointing line before fouling out of the contest, but he bounced back admirably Tuesday in an ultra-efficient performance. He's now reached the 30-point mark four times in the last eight games and is converting on 58.1 percent of his field goals and 38.5 percent of his three-pointers during that stretch.
