Another strong line in win
Dieng closed with 17 points (6-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-7 FT), nine rebounds and six assists in 31 minutes during Sunday's 131-115 victory over Memphis.
Analyse
Dieng's shooting comes and goes, but he's making a strong impression on the coaching staff. Over his last eight games, he's averaging 14.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.0 three-pointers on 39.8 percent shooting from the field.

Logs career highs in win
Dieng finished Wednesday's 119-113 loss to the Rockets with 36 points (15-31 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 10 assists, seven rebounds and one steal across 45 minutes.
Analyse
Dieng struggled from three-point range but made the most of his increased opportunities with Milwaukee shorthanded in the second leg of this back-to-back set. The 22-year-old forward returned to the first unit after coming off the bench in Tuesday's win over Dallas, and he dropped a game- and career-high 36 points. The fourth-year pro also dished out a game- and career-best 10 dimes, marking his sixth consecutive contest with at least four assists. Dieng should continue to see significant burn for the Bucks, who have already been eliminated from playoff contention and will likely want an extended look at him before he enters restricted free agency this summer.

Starting Wednesday
Dieng will start Wednesday's game against the Rockets, per Lachard Binkley of SI.com.
Analyse
After shifting to the bench for Tuesday's win over the Mavericks upon Kyle Kuzma's (Achilles) return, Dieng will immediately rejoin the first unit for the second leg of Milwaukee's back-to-back set. The 22-year-old forward remained highly productive despite his brief reserve role Tuesday, posting an 11-point, 10-rebound double-double across 29 minutes. With Kuzma officially sidelined again, Dieng is primed for a heavy workload.

Fills stat sheet in win
Dieng finished with 11 points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 123-99 victory over Dallas.
Analyse
Dieng moved to the bench due to the return of Kyle Kuzma (Achilles), but the former still posted an impressive double-double. Dieng is finally getting consistent minutes at the NBA level, and he's proving he can perform at a decent level. Over his last eight games (six starts), Dieng is averaging 12.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.3 steals across 29.4 minutes per game while posting double-digit scoring numbers in six of those outings. Even if he ends the regular season coming off the bench, he's an option worth keeping close tabs on as a potential streamer.

Coming off bench Tuesday
Dieng won't start Tuesday's game against Dallas.
Analyse
Dieng started Milwaukee's last six games. However, with Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) back in the lineup, the 22-year-old will head back to the bench. With that said, Dieng was still productive in his last appearance as a reserve, finishing with 19 points, five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 30 minutes in the 123-116 loss to the Cavaliers on March 17.
