Khris Middleton - Multi-category contribution in loss Middleton accumulated 16 points (3-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-9 FT), four rebounds, five assists, two blocks and three steals across 37 minutes during Saturday's 103-96 loss to the Raptors.

Impact Middleton weathered a poor night of shooting by making an impact in every secondary category. His 16-point effort was his lowest total in almost two weeks. Otherwise, Middleton is a freakishly consistent scorer with a reliable floor. He's scored below 20 points only 14 times this season.

Grayson Allen - Pours in 18 points in start Allen recorded 18 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Saturday's 103-96 loss to Toronto.

Impact Allen turned in another solid game after returning from a four-game absence. Increased production should be expected from Allen as long as Jrue Holiday (ankle) is sidelined.

Bobby Portis - Records 15th double-double Portis registered 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds and three blocks in 34 minutes during Saturday's 103-96 loss to Toronto.

Impact Portis has been a valuable piece of Milwaukee's starting five, but Jrue Holiday's )ankle) extended absence is allowing the veteran to display his versatility and floor-stretching ability. Although he sometimes has trouble matching a good rebounding total with a solid shooting night, both categories were in sync despite the narrow loss.

Giannis Antetokounmpo - Posts team-high 30 points Antetokounmpo closed Saturday's 103-96 loss to the Raptors with 30 points (6-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 17-17 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 35 minutes.

Impact A team-high total for Antetokounmpo was no big surprise. The All-Star has now scored 30 or more points in nine of his last 10 games, and his stellar play makes him a major player in the MVP race, a title he garnered in the 2019-20 season.

George Hill - Four assists in return Hill (COVID-19 protocols) finished with zero points (0-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four assists and three rebounds across 18 minutes in Thursday's 118-99 win over the Warriors.

Impact The veteran returned to action following a four-game stint in the protocols and recaptured his usual spot on the second unit. Hill could pick up slightly more run Saturday against the Raptors if Jrue Holiday (ankle) is out for another game, but an 18-to-25-minute role will probably be the norm for the 35-year-old when Milwaukee is at full strength in the backcourt.

Bobby Portis - Strong effort against Warriors Portis posted 20 points (8-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt), seven rebounds, one block and one steal across 25 minutes during Thursday's 118-99 win over Golden State.

Impact Portis' biggest highlight of the game came when he drained a three at the halftime buzzer, but the big man had another impressive performance on both ends of the court and once again left his mark on offense. Quickly emerging as Milwaukee's third-best scoring option when Jrue Holiday (ankle) is not available, Portis has averaged 15.2 points, 9.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game over his last 10 appearances.

Khris Middleton - Drains five threes in rout Middleton closed with 23 points (7-13 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Thursday's 118-99 victory over the Warriors.

Impact Even though Giannis Antetokounmpo stole the show with his triple-double, Middleton had an excellent performance on both ends of the court and extended his streak of games with at least 20 points to four contests. The star forward had a few struggles earlier this season, but that seems to be a thing of the past now. Firmly entrenched as Milwaukee's second-best scoring option, Middleton has averaged 20.8 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game since the beginning of December.

Giannis Antetokounmpo - Shines with triple-double Antetokounmpo accumulated 30 points (11-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-12 FT), 12 rebounds, 11 assists and three blocks across 30 minutes during Thursday's 118-99 victory over Golden State.

Impact The two-time MVP winner had a performance worthy of such an award Thursday, as he carried the Bucks on both ends of the court while scoring at a very efficient rate -- he needed only 17 shots to record 30 points. Antetokounmpo has scored 26 or more points in each of his last nine appearances since exiting the league's health and safety protocols in late December, and he's averaged 32.6 points, 11.1 rebounds, 7.6 assists and 1.2 blocks per game in that span.
