Dean Wade - Does little in light minutesWade (shoulder) finished with zero points, one rebound and one block in 10 minutes during Saturday's 114-102 win over the Bucks.
ImpactSuiting up for the first time since Dec. 2 after missing more than a month and a half with a sprained shoulder, Wade was on a tight minutes restriction in his return to action. Prior to getting hurt, Wade had started in his last five appearances and averaged 27.8 minutes per contest, but he may struggle to regain that level of playing time now that he's healthy again. Isaac Okoro has stepped up his production of late and may have secured a role as the Cavaliers' starting small forward, while Cedi Osman has provided a nice scoring punch off the bench in both of the past two games to make a push for consistent minutes.

Khris Middleton - Expected back MondayMiddleton (knee) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Pistons.
ImpactAfter missing the Bucks' last 18 games with the sore left knee, Middleton finally appears to be on the doorstep of a return following a series of practices with both the NBA team and in the G League over the past couple weeks as he worked to regain conditioning. Before the Bucks formally clear Middleton to play Monday, he'll likely need to avoid any setbacks with the knee during the team's morning shootaround in advance of the 7 p.m. ET tipoff. Assuming Middleton is cleared to play for the start of the Bucks' four-game week, expect him to be on a soft minutes restriction as head coach Mike Budenholzer looks to ease the veteran forward back into the mix following a five-week absence.

Giannis Antetokounmpo - Looks set to return MondayAntetokounmpo (knee) is listed as probable for Monday's game in Detroit.
ImpactThe Bucks have upgraded both Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton to probable for Monday's contest after five- and 18-game absences, respectively, due to their knee injuries, potentially putting the Milwaukee back to full strength for one of the few occasions all season. Considering that Antetokounmpo was listed as probable ahead of last Monday's 132-119 win over the Pacers before missing that contest and then two more after that, fantasy managers will still want to verify his status closer to the 7 p.m. ET tipoff with the Pistons before locking him into fantasy lineups for the Bucks' four-game week. Managers will have to hope that Antetokounmpo's five-game respite for his sore left knee was enough to resolve the uncharacteristically poor efficiency from the field he had shown in the four games prior to his absence.

Jarrett Allen - Contributes in defensive categoriesAllen finished with 12 points (6-10 FG), six rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across 27 minutes in Saturday's 114-102 win over the Bucks.
ImpactEven though Donovan Mitchell (groin) missed his third straight game Saturday, Allen hasn't been a major beneficiary from a usage standpoint. Instead, frontcourt mate Evan Mobley (career-high 38 points) and point guard Darius Garland (31 points) did the heavy lifting Saturday, while Allen attempted 10 shots or fewer for the third game in a row. The center was at least able to compensate for his lackluster returns in the points and rebounds categories by making an impact in the two defensive categories.
