Mon Apr 14 201422:06Knight scores 18 points as Bucks are No. 30
Brandon Knight (hip) played in Monday's loss to the Raptors, scoring 18 points on 7-of-17 shooting (including a three) with two rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block.
The loss gives the Bucks control of the league's worst record and a 25 percent shot at drawing the No. 1 pick this summer. They also became the third team in NBA history to not win consecutive games in a season. Ramon Sessions added 21 points, five assists, two threes and a steal and Jeff Adrien went for 19 and nine with a steal, as those two should be in most lineups. Zaza Pachulia scored six points with four rebounds, three assists and one block in 17 minutes, and John Henson scored 12 points with seven rebounds and one block in 27 minutes, as the two big men are more speculative plays on Wednesday.

Mon Apr 14 201411:30Brandon Knight (hip) will return vs. Toronto
Brandon Knight (hip) went through shootaround on Monday and he will return to action vs. the Raptors.
It's nice to get a timely, positive Bucks update for once, especially this late in the season. He and Ramon Sessions have been logging heavy minutes in the Bucks' backcourt in recent weeks, and that's unlikely to chance vs. Kyle Lowry and the Raptors.

Brandon Knight (hip) will not play against the Wizards on Saturday.
In typical fashion, this news wasn't announced until after the start of the game, which has been a popular move in Milwaukee. The extent of Knight's sore right hip is not yet known and hopefully the team will update him in the coming days -- don't hold your breath, though. Ramon Sessions will likely get all the minutes he can handle while Giannis Antetokounmpo gets moved into the starting lineup.

Thu Apr 10 201400:07Brandon Knight goes for 25 & 10 in loss
Brandon Knight hit 8-of-21 shots and a 3-pointer for 25 points, four rebounds and 10 assists in Wednesday's loss to the Pacers' bench.
All five Bucks starters were pretty great individually, which tells you just how bad of a team they have. Of course the loss of Larry Sanders and Ersan Ilyasova, the disappearance of O.J. Mayo, and the coaching of Larry Drew are all to blame, but they're at least coming through for fantasy owners in the clutch. Knight has had a pretty solid season and has been the most reliable Buck this year.

Mon Mar 31 201423:39Knight nears triple-double in big night
Brandon Knight scored 25 points on 7-of-21 shooting (0-for-4 3PTs, 11-of-14 FTs) with nine rebounds and seven assists in Monday's loss to the Pistons.
The Pistons aren't defending anybody these days and that will be a theme throughout the Bucks' box score, but Knight certainly did well to put up some big popcorn numbers tonight. He's averaging 17.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.9 assists on the season, which would usually yield much more than the top 75-110 value (8/9 cat) he has returned when on the floor -- but 42 percent field goal shooting and just 1.2 combined steals and blocks per game otherwise drag him down.

Thu Mar 27 201423:08Brandon Knight scores 30 in win vs. Lakers
Brandon Knight took care of business against the Lakers during a 108-105 win on Thursday with 30 points, three assists, one block and two 3-pointers on 12-of-21 from the field.
The matchup was right on time after he put up 37 against the Lakers back on Dec. 31. He didn't shoot over 25 percent in each of his last two games for his worst two-game stretch of the season. Knight was taking too many jumpers, but this season he's been much better at getting to the rim with 32.0 percent of his shots coming from the restricted area and knocking down 55.0 percent of those. He's been much better than expected in his first season with the Bucks.

Sun Mar 23 201420:46Brandon Knight shoots 2-of-12 vs. Sacramento
Brandon Knight made just 2-of-12 FGs in Sunday's ugly road loss, which he finished with six points, seven assists and two blocks.
Knight has been one of the most reliable Bucks players all season, but his mediocre steals (1.0 per game) combine with poor shooting (42.4 percent) and consistent turnovers (2.6) to make him a borderline top-100 value in nine-cat leagues. That's worth remembering on draft day next season, if nothing else.

Fri Mar 21 201401:50Brandon Knight scores 27 points in loss
Brandon Knight made nine of his 16 attempts from the field for 27 points against the Warriors during a 115-110 loss with two boards, six assists, one steal and one 3-pointer in 38 minutes.
He should have even more responsibilities with Nate Wolters (hand) likely out for the season. Wolters' usage rate wasn't eye-popping or anything at just 17.2 percent at the break, but there's a chance his loss will push Knight to a usage over 30.0, which is among the elite. Knight is sporting a 28.6 percent usage since the break before tonight and is really the only must-start player on the worst team in the NBA based on record.

Wed Mar 19 201401:22Brandon Knight scores 24 in loss to Blazers
Brandon Knight hit 8-of-20 shots for 24 points, eight rebounds, four assists, two steals, a block and three 3-pointers in an overtime loss to the Blazers.
He had 21 points and a full stat line on Sunday and continues to roll along for the awful Bucks.

Sun Mar 16 201416:21Brandon Knight scores 21 points vs. Bobcats
Brandon Knight scored a team-high 21 points vs. the Bobcats during Sunday's 101-92 loss, adding eight boards, seven assists, three steals and three 3-pointers in 36 minutes.
He shot 9-of-21 from the field and is really the only player who has the same role on a daily basis. Fantasy owners should keep Knight locked into their lineups and he'll have a nice matchup against Damian Lillard on Tuesday. The Bucks are still in first place in the race for lottery balls with a 2.5 game lead over the Sixers and their 20-game losing streak.

Thu Mar 13 201422:44Brandon Knight scores 20 points vs. ATL
Brandon Knight scored 20 points vs. the Hawks during Thursday's 102-97 loss with five boards, four assists and one 3-pointer.
This was his fourth consecutive game of at least 20 points and he's actually been consistent, which is almost a shock after the roller coaster ride he went through to start the year. Knight made 7-of-8 from the line tonight and he's getting to the line a little more as the year has gone on. Fantasy owners can pencil him into their lineup the rest of the way.

Sun Mar 9 201400:11Brandon Knight scores 25 points vs. Wizards
Brandon Knight scored 25 points vs. the Wizards during a 114-107 loss on Saturday, adding two boards, two assists, three steals and two 3-pointers.
The Bucks were down 28 points at one point in the first half, but came storming back in the third quarter to make a game of it. They actually got to the line tonight with 25 makes, which is tied for their third most on the season, but they couldn't stop John Wall and Co. when they needed to. As for Knight, he came into tonight with averages over his previous 10 of 19.2 points, 6.0 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.4 triples, so the numbers are there for the only reliable Bucks player.

Thu Mar 6 201402:16Brandon Knight remains the one constant
Brandon Knight scored 25 points for the Bucks during Wednesday's 116-102 loss to the Kings with five boards, six assists and two 3-pointers in 33 minutes.
He's really the only thing that even resembles a sure thing on the Bucks, which is saying something after Knight couldn't string together games with the Pistons at all last season. Knight has pretty much been average at scoring the ball this season and doesn't really have anything to hang his hat on, but the Bucks gave him 18.0 shots per game in February, which ranked ninth in the NBA in that span. He'll get his share of minutes and shots with the Bucks which should result in solid fantasy value.

Thu Feb 27 201422:36Brandon Knight scores 23 points vs. Pacers
Brandon Knight scored a team-high 23 points against the Pacers during a 101-96 loss on Thursday to go with two boards, five assists, one steal and three 3-pointers.
This game was surprisingly close for much of the night before the Pacers were able to put it away late. Knight has turned it on all season since he was able to return from an injury in November and shows no signs of slowing down. He's turned into a five-category player and shooting 42 percent from the field this season isn't too bad.

Mon Feb 24 201418:03Brandon Knight shifting to shooting guard
Brandon Knight will start at shooting guard vs. the Sixers on Monday.
The move is really just a formality for the Bucks with Knight playing a lot of shooting guard while Wolters is on the court to begin with. There's no reason to worry about his production in a favorable matchup tonight.

Sun Feb 23 201400:08Brandon Knight 30 points in loss to Indiana
Brandon Knight was the lone bright spot and was almost able to help the Bucks pull off the upset against the Pacers on Saturday, scoring 30 points with five boards, eight assists, one steal, one block and three 3-pointers.
He was outstanding and shot 12-of-23 from the field and shockingly did not turn the ball over. Knight looked like an All-Star tonight against the league's best defense and did his work by creating a lot of space for good shots. He entered tonight with a cut on his heel and it didn't limit him based on his 39 minutes of play. Knight may be the only must-start player on the Bucks.

Sat Feb 22 201420:32Brandon Knight (heel) in starting lineup
Brandon Knight is in the starting lineup against the Pacers on Saturday.
In typical Bucks fashion, the team did not release any information about Knight's status until after 8:30 EST. He was a game-time decision for a heel injury and it's unknown how much playing time he'll see tonight. We'd say you can put him in your lineup, but the news about him playing came after the fact.

Sat Feb 22 201418:53Brandon Knight, Caron Butler are game-time
Brandon Knight (heel) and Caron Butler (ankle) are game-time decisions for Saturday's game against Pacers.
Knight said he was hopeful to play tonight and it's a little bit of a surprise to see him still as a game-time call. The Bucks are playing for lottery balls, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see them sit Knight. Of course, they're probably not going to win anyway. If he can't go, Nate Wolters will start at point guard while Giannis Antetokounmpo and O.J. Mayo will help out.

Fri Feb 21 201414:09Brandon Knight hopeful to play on Saturday
Brandon Knight (heel) said his foot is feeling better on Friday and he hopes to play against the Pacers on Saturday.
A cut on his heel kept him out of action on Thursday night. Knight was able to play through that issue back on Tuesday and it would appear the Bucks could put him back in the lineup. His owners will want to make sure he's a go before putting him back in their lineups. Additionally, the arrival Ramon Sessions could mess up the Milwaukee guard rotation, meaning heating-up Nate Wolters or O.J. Mayo could lose some playing time.

Thu Feb 20 201419:44Brandon Knight will not play on Thursday
Brandon Knight (heel) will not play against the Nuggets on Thursday.
He cut his heel on a baseboard in the shower and it's going to cost him some playing time tonight. Knight should be considered questionable for Saturday's game against the Pacers. Nate Wolters should get as many minutes as he can handle and the Bucks might actually have to play O.J. Mayo tonight. Giannis Antetokounmpo should also see more action.
