Bobby Portis - Leads bench in win Monday Portis racked up 20 points (8-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt), seven rebounds and three assists over 23 minutes during Monday's 128-104 win over Toronto.
Impact The big man led Milwaukee's bench in points while finishing as the club's second-leading scorer behind Damian Lillard (25 points). Portis put together a solid bounce-back outing after scoring only nine points in Saturday's loss to Portland, during which he shot only 4-for-11 from the floor and 1-for-4 from downtown. The 29-year-old forward has reached the double-digit mark in points in eight of his last 10 appearances, and in that 10-game span he has also made two or more three-pointers in five games.

Damian Lillard - Leads club in scoring Monday Lillard ended with 25 points (7-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 26 minutes during Monday's 128-104 win over the Raptors.
Impact The superstar led the Bucks in points while moving up to No. 38 on the NBA's all-time scoring list Monday. Lillard delivered a stellar bounce-back outing after he posted 15 points and shot only 5-for-15 from the field during Saturday's loss to Portland. The veteran point guard has now logged 20 regular-season outings with 20-plus points, and he has also sank five-plus threes in nine games this season.

Impact Rivers said that Antetokounmpo's ballhandling was impacted after he cut his hand on the rim during a block attempt in the first half. While the hand injury and Toronto's defense in the painted area limited the two-time MVP's scoring, it didn't stop him from racking up a season-high mark in assists. Antetokounmpo also logged his fourth triple-double of the season in the victory, and he continues to stuff the stat sheet on a nightly basis.

Giannis Antetokounmpo - Expected to suit up for Monday Antetokounmpo (knee) is listed as probable for Monday's game against Toronto.
Impact Antetokounmpo has been a mainstay on the injury report through the early part of the season due to right patella tendinopathy, though he'll likely give it a go Monday. The superstar has played in three consecutive outings since he logged a four-game absence due to back spasms and an illness, and in that three-game span, he has averaged 29.3 points, 12.0 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.7 blocks and 1.3 steals across 36.7 minutes per contest.

Khris Middleton - Expected to play Monday Middleton (ankles) is probable for Monday's game against the Raptors.
Impact Middleton continues to be listed as probable but has appeared in 12 consecutive contests, including seven straight starts. After scoring in double figures in seven straight games, Middleton dropped a dud against Portland, finishing with two points (1-5 FG), seven rebounds and three assists in 26 minutes during a 105-102 loss.

Ryan Rollins - Just six minutes in loss Rollins finished with two points (1-1 FG), one assist and one steal over six minutes during Saturday's 105-102 loss to Portland.
Impact Rollins was used sparingly in the loss, continuing a season that had both positives and negatives. Although he has seemingly carved out a somewhat consistent role for himself, his playing time typically fluctuates from one game to the next. As a sample size, his past four games have ranged from two minutes, all the way up to 21 minutes.

AJ Green - Lands seven triples in loss Green finished with 21 points (7-13 FG, 7-13 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Saturday's 105-102 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Impact Green returned from a one-game absence, matching his season-high with seven triples off the bench. Although his role has chopped and changed, Green has remained a relatively reliable source of perimeter scoring. In 21.9 minutes per game, Green is averaging 2.4 three-pointers to go with his 8.2 points.
