Bucks' Kevin Porter: Posts rare triple-double in victory
Porter recorded 10 points (4-11 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 14 assists, 11 rebounds and one steal across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 137-107 win over the Mavericks.
The Bucks gave the backups extra time during the decisive win, and Porter delivered the third triple-double of his career in the process. While the well-rounded statistical performance will attract some attention, it should be noted that starting point guard Damian Lillard was limited to just 27 minutes in the blowout, and Porter also benefited from some extra playing time with Gary Trent (knee) sitting out. Wednesday's outing should be viewed as an outlier for Porter, who had averaged 9.1 points, 2.3 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 14.7 minutes per game over his first nine games with the Bucks following his acquisition from the Clippers at the trade deadline.

Bucks' Damian Lillard: Soars with 34 points in blowout win
Lillard posted 34 points (11-15 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 7-7 FT), three rebounds, five assists and two steals in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 137-107 victory over the Mavericks.
Lillard was exceptional in all facets of the game, missing only four shots and drilling five three-pointers on the way to another big stat line. The eye contusion that kept him on the injury report seemed to be a non-issue in the game, so he's expected to remain with the first unit in the team's upcoming home game against Orlando.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Hits for 32 points in blowout
Antetokounmpo amassed 32 points (13-20 FG, 6-6 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 137-107 victory over the Mavericks.
The short-handed Mavericks were no match for the one-two punch of Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard. Antetokounmpo also broke the 20,000-point threshold during the win, becoming the 52nd player to hit that mark and the sixth-youngest player to reach the milestone.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Out Wednesday for personal reasons
Rollins won't play in Wednesday's game against the Mavericks due to a personal matter, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Milwaukee upgraded Rollins to a standard NBA deal earlier this week, making him eligible to play for the remainder of the regular season and playoffs after he had previously reached his limit of 50 active games with the Bucks as a two-way player. Though he could eventually supplant Kevin Porter as the preferred backup to starting point guard Damian Lillard, Rollins will have to wait until at least Saturday's game against the Magic to potentially re-emerge as a rotation player while he tends to the personal matter.

Bucks' Damian Lillard: Will play vs. Dallas
Lillard (eye) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Lillard is having a strong second season with the Bucks as he continues to build chemistry with fellow superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf).

Bucks' Kyle Kuzma: Will play against Dallas
Kuzma (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against Dallas, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
The Bucks have unsurprisingly upgraded Kuzma from probable to available Wednesday, and the veteran forward will battle through an ankle sprain to likely handle his usual workload. Over seven outings after the All-Star break, Kuzma has averaged 14.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.4 steals and 1.6 three-pointers in 34.6 minutes.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Cleared to play Wednesday
Antetokounmpo (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against Dallas, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Antetokounmpo continues to work through a left calf strain that caused him to miss six games in February. After operating on a minutes restriction upon his return, Antetokounmpo has played at least 32 minutes in each of his last five games, and over that span he has averaged 26.6 points on 54.4 percent shooting, 13.2 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 1.0 blocks and 0.8 steals.

Bucks' Pat Connaughton: Ruled out Wednesday
Connaughton (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Connaughton will miss a sixth straight game for the Bucks as he continues to nurse a strained left calf. The next opportunity for the veteran forward to get on the floor for Milwaukee will be Saturday against the Magic.

Bucks' Pete Nance: Sidelined yet again
Nance (ankle) will not play Wednesday against Dallas.
Nance hasn't played at the NBA or G League level since Feb. 12 due to a left ankle sprain. Once healthy, Nance is unlikely to be a factor in the Milwaukee rotation.

Bucks' Gary Trent: Out against Dallas
Trent will not play Wednesday against Dallas due to right knee soreness.
Trent logged 25 minutes in Tuesday's 127-121 win over Atlanta, finishing with 15 points, two rebounds, two assists and a pair of three-pointers. He'll get some maintenance Wednesday in the second leg of a back-to-back set, potentially opening the door for Ryan Rollins or Andre Jackson to enter the rotation.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Likely to play Wednesday
Antetokounmpo (calf) has been listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
After recording a triple-double in Tuesday's win against the Hawks, Antetokounmpo will likely be back on the floor Wednesday against Dallas. Over the last seven games, the superstar big man averaged 24.9 points, 11.4 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.0 blocks per game, shooting 57.5 percent from the floor.

Bucks' Kyle Kuzma: Expected to play
Kuzma is probable for Wednesday's game against Dallas with a right ankle sprain.
Kuzma played through this same issue Tuesday, finishing with 17 points (7-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists over 33 minutes against the Hawks. It appears he avoided any setbacks, and it's a good sign if the Bucks are planning on letting him play in both games of this back-to-back set.

Bucks' Damian Lillard: Probable for Wednesday
Lillard is probable for Wednesday's game against Dallas with a left eye contusion.
This is a new issue for Lillard, but the veteran guard is planning to play through it for the second leg of this back-to-back set. During Tuesday's win over the Hawks, Lillard recorded 23 points (9-18 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals over 36 minutes.

Bucks' Brook Lopez: Nabs double-double in victory
Lopez closed Tuesday's 127-121 win over Atlanta with 13 points (5-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes.
Lopez recorded his second double-double of the season Tuesday, leading the Bucks with a game-high mark in rebounds. However, the 36-year-old struggled from three-point range, and he has shot 31.6 percent from beyond the arc in seven outings since the All-Star break. The big man did set a new season-high mark in boards, though he has logged only two outings with double-digit rebounds in 59 regular-season appearances.

Bucks' Kyle Kuzma: Efficient outing in victory
Kuzma ended Tuesday's 127-121 win over the Hawks with 17 points (7-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists over 33 minutes.
Kuzma supplied his second double-double as a member of the Bucks, marking his fifth of the season. The 29-year-old was one of three Bucks to secure a double-double or better, with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Brook Lopez also achieving the feat Tuesday. Additionally, Kuzma delivered his most efficient night from the field through 11 outings with Milwaukee, during which he has logged six matchups with at least 15 points.

Lillard supplied 23 points (9-18 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 127-121 victory over the Hawks.
The superstar point guard finished as the club's second-leading scorer behind Giannis Antetokounmpo (26 points) in the win. However, Lillard struggled from beyond the arc, and he has shot 33.9 percent from downtown in six outings since the All-Star break. On the bright side, the 34-year-old sharpshooter racked up two steals for a third consecutive contest, marking his 18th time recording multiple swipes in 50 regular-season appearances.

Additionally, Antetokounmpo recorded his 46th game with at least 20 points in 48 regular-season appearances, tying him for the fifth-most games scoring 20-plus points this season. The two-time MVP has appeared in all seven of the club's matchups since the All-Star break, logging four outings with a double-double or better.
