The Scoop: The Bucks had a balanced offensive output Thursday and Antetokounmpo not only led the way in scoring, but he was also one of four players who scored more than 20 points. His excellent showing was reflected not only in his scoring, but also in Antetokounmpo's finishing just one assist away from recording what would've been an impressive triple-double. Antetokounmpo has four double-doubles and one triple-double across his last six contests.

 The Scoop: Lillard recorded his second straight double-double, and he also surpassed the 20-point plateau for the sixth time across his last seven contests. Even though Giannis Antetokounmpo stole the show Thursday, Lillard remains a capable offensive weapon for Milwaukee, regardless of whether he operates as the No. 1 or No. 2 option, depending on the opponent. Lillard has recorded 11 double-doubles and two triple-doubles this season.

 The Scoop: Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves combined for more than half of the team's points in this loss to Milwaukee, and Knecht was the lone other player who scored in double digits. The rookie sharpshooter has been turning things around following a subpar stretch in February. He's scored in double digits in all but one of his six appearances in March despite starting just once in that span.

 The Scoop: Reaves finished just two boards away from a triple-double in the loss to the Nets on Monday, and he also finished two rebounds shy, but this time from a double-double, in the Lakers' third straight loss Thursday. Reaves surpassed the 15-point mark for a third consecutive game, and he should continue to have higher usage for as long as LeBron James (groin) remains sidelined.

 The Scoop: A previous report noted that Prosper would likely remain sidelined for the rest of the year as a result of the injury, and the team confirmed Monday that the Marquette product will indeed be shut down for the season following successful surgery. He averaged 3.9 points and 2.4 rebounds in 11.2 minutes per matchup over 52 appearances in his second NBA season.

 The Scoop: After signing a two-way deal with the Bucks on Feb. 28, Nance made his organizational debut at the tail end of the blowout win. Before taking the court Thursday, Nance hadn't played at the NBA or G League level since Feb. 12 while he recovered from a left ankle sprain. He'll likely see the bulk of his playing time in the G League with the Wisconsin Herd moving forward.

 The Scoop: Lyles will manage to avoid missing Thursday's matchup despite dealing with lower leg soreness. He's been relatively quiet off the bench of late, averaging 4.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists in his last five appearances.

 The Scoop: Vucevic will return to his usual starting role Thursday after coming off the bench in his first game back from a calf injury Monday, but he'll be held between 28-to-30 minutes, per his head coach. Zach Collins is moving back to the bench with Vucevic running with the starters.

 The Scoop: Knecht started Monday against Brooklyn in place of Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle), but with Finney-Smith back from a one-game absence, Knecht will be relegated back to the second unit. With Rui Hachimura (knee) and LeBron James (groin) still out, Knecht will still likely be one of the main contributors off the bench Thursday.

 The Scoop: Hoford appears likely to play Friday while he deals with a left big toe sprain. He has started in each of his last six outings due to the absence of Kristaps Porzingis (illness), and over that span Horford has averaged 12.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks over 34.2 minutes per game while shooting 40.0 percent from three on 5.8 3PA/G.
