Bucks' Jevon Carter: Moves to top unit
Rotowire
Carter will start at shooting guard Tuesday against the Suns.
The Bucks are missing both Khris Middleton (knee) and Grayson Allen (foot), so Carter and Pat Connaughton will be called upon as replacements on the top unit. Carter could be a solid streaming option for steals while he aims to slow down Devin Booker, but Carter likely won't take on much usage on the offensive end while Milwaukee has both Jrue Holiday and Giannis Antetokounmpo available.

Bucks' Jevon Carter: Back to bench
Rotowire
Carter will move to the bench Thursday against the Nets.
This was the expectation with Jrue Holiday returning to the starting lineup. The Bucks are missing Giannis Antetokounmpo (hand) again, so Carter could still play an expanded role off the bench after his dominant performance Tuesday against Orlando.

Rotowire
Carter registered 20 points (7-13 FG, 6-10 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal across 22 minutes during Sunday's 117-111 victory over the Wizards.
Carter wasn't shy from beyond the arc Sunday and scored 18 of his 20 points from deep in the win. This marks his first 20-point showing since Feb. 16 and is a reassuring sign for prospective fantasy managers after he was held to nine and three points in his last two matchups. Carter is averaging 10.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists over his last 10 appearances.

Bucks' Jevon Carter: Pops for 22 points Thursday
Rotowire
Carter contributed 22 points (9-13 FG, 4-5 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Thursday's 112-100 win over the Bulls.
Carter connected on at least three triples for the fourth time in his past five games en route to 22 points. With Giannis Antetokounmpo having to exit early due to a wrist injury, Carter was tasked with more responsibility on the offensive end. However, before managers go running to the waiver wire, it should be noted that this was his highest scoring game since early November. He also had not topped 30 minutes in a game since the start of January, meaning this performance should be viewed as an outlier.

Bucks' Jevon Carter: Starting Thursday
Rotowire
Carter will step into the first five for Thursday's game against Chicago, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Carter will slide into the shooting guard spot alongside Jrue Holiday in the backcourt. With Pat Connaughton (calf) and Khris Middleton (knee) sidelined, Carter should be in line for a hefty workload Thursday. In 30 appearances with as a starter, Carter has averaged 8.1 points, 3.2 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals across 26.9 minutes.

Bucks' Jevon Carter: Nails trio of triples in win
Rotowire
Carter registered 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and one block across 21 minutes during Monday's 127-108 win over Portland.
Carter came into Monday averaging just 5.0 points on 41.2 percent shooting across 15.3 minutes over his previous four contests, so there was little reason for him to be on any fantasy radars, even as a streamer. However, the fifth-year point guard did well with a bit of an expanded opportunity, finishing as one of two Milwaukee reserves with double-digit scoring and tying for the team lead with three three-pointers. Carter also pulled down five boards and added three assists, a significant improvement over the 1.7 rebounds and 1.6 dimes he had been averaging across his first 18 contests since the calendar turned to 2023.

Bucks' Jevon Carter: Productive off bench Monday
Rotowire
Carter ended Monday's 150-130 victory over the Pistons with 18 points (6-8 FG, 6-8 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 16 minutes off the bench.
It was an impressive performance given how little court time he got, but neither team seemed interested in playing much defense. However, Carter had just three points in 30 minutes across the last three games, and while the journeyman guard has shown glimpses of fantasy utility at times this season, he's little more than a DFS dart throw now that the Bucks' roster is close to full strength.

Bucks' Jevon Carter: Strong play off bench
Rotowire
Carter chipped in 18 points (6-16 FG, 6-14 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and three steals across 31 minutes during Thursday's 108-102 loss to Miami.
Carter led Milwaukee's bench in scoring, and he did all of his scoring from beyond the arc. He certainly wasn't shy in this one, as he hoisted up a season-high 14 attempts from downtown. Carter has been inconsistent at best for Milwaukee of late, scoring in double figures in back-to-back contests but also being held to zero points in three of his last six appearances.

Bucks' Jevon Carter: Adds little scoring production
Rotowire
Carter finished with four points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and three steals in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 128-111 win over the Warriors.
Carter received a spot start Tuesday due to the absence of Jrue Holiday (illness), but he failed to take advantage of the opportunity. He's been held to single digits in scoring in each of his last five matchups, and while he typically does contribute in nearly every category, it's not enough to garner looks in most fantasy leagues. Carter is averaging 4.6 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.1 steals in his last eight games.

Carter matched his season high with five made threes en route to a big night offensively for Milwaukee, with only Giannis Antetokounmpo (36 points) scoring more. Carter had combined for 14 points (6-16 FG) across three contests prior to Friday, showcasing his inconsistency.
