Ousmane Dieng

Dieng went 4-of-8 from three Wednesday, finishing with 17 points (6-of-13 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, and four three-pointers in the loss to the Pistons.

Fantasy Impact

The three-point volume and assist contribution kept the line useful, but the empty defensive stat sheet is the one consistent limitation that keeps his fantasy ceiling from reaching another level.

Dieng set a new career-high with 36 points Wednesday, posting a double-double alongside — 36 points (15-of-31 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), 10 assists, seven rebounds, one steal, and one three-pointer in 45 minutes against the Rockets.

Fantasy Impact

Taking on over a third of Milwaukee's field goal attempts in a losing effort shows how much the Bucks leaned on him, and a career-high alongside 10 assists in the same game is one of the more complete individual performances of the season.

Dieng was pushed to the bench Tuesday with Milwaukee at full health after starting 12 of his previous 13 games, but still delivered a double-double — 11 points (4-of-10 FGs), 10 rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block, and one three-pointer against the Mavericks.

Fantasy Impact

Wednesday's back-to-back in Houston could shift things back in his favor, with multiple starters potentially unavailable for the second leg.

Dieng returned from a two-game illness absence Tuesday but came off the bench rather than returning to the starting role he held in the six games prior. He still logged 30 minutes and made the most of them — 19 points (7-of-12 FGs), five three-pointers, five rebounds, one steal, and one assist against the Cavaliers.

Fantasy Impact

With Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) sidelined for at least another week, Dieng's 30-minute workload isn't going anywhere regardless of whether he starts.

Ousmane Dieng is listed as questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Cavaliers.

Fantasy Impact

Dieng has missed the past two games with an illness. AJ Green has been starting in his place.
