Delivers 33 points in loss
Kuzma tallied 33 points (12-21 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 129-114 loss to Phoenix.
Analyse
Kuzma remained in the starting lineup Tuesday and proved that he belonged by leading Milwaukee in the scoring department. He drilled six triples for the first time through 59 games this season and offered up contributions on the opposite end of the court after being held without either a steal or a block in his previous four showings. Kuzma is now averaging 18.5 points over his last six games.

Removed from injury report
Kuzma (back) is off the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Suns.
Analyse
Kuzma missed Sunday's loss to the Magic, the second half of a back-to-back, but he's good to go for Tuesday. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) healthy, Kuzma figures to come off the bench. Over his last eight games as a reserve, Kuzma has averaged 11.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.6 three-pointers in 23.0 minutes per contest.

Out Sunday
Kuzma (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Magic.
Analyse
Kuzma will miss Sunday's contest due to a back injury he presumably suffered during Saturday's win over the Jazz. Ousmane Dieng, Bobby Portis and Cam Thomas are candidates for increased minutes with Kuzma sidelined.

Dealing with back injury
Kuzma is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Magic due to a thoracic spine contusion.
Analyse
Kuzma may have tweaked his back during the Bucks' 113-99 win over the Jazz on Saturday, when he logged 18 points, five assists and two rebounds over 29 minutes. He's in danger of missing the second game of Milwaukee's back-to-back set, a game which both Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Kevin Porter (knee) have already been ruled out for. Ousmane Dieng, Bobby Portis, Gary Trent and Cam Thomas would all be in line for more minutes if Kuzma is unable to play against Orlando.

Scores 18 points
Kuzma amassed 18 points (6-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and five assists in 29 minutes during Saturday's 113-99 win over the Jazz.
Analyse
Kuzma has responded well to the DNP-CD he received in Monday's blowout loss to the Celtics, scoring 16 points in the loss to the Hawks and 18 in this win over the Jazz. Kuzma is a proven scorer who should continue to produce if given enough minutes, but his upside will decrease a bit if he comes off the bench, which is likely to be the case now that Giannis Antetokounmpo seems fully recovered from his calf injury.

Starting Saturday
Kuzma will start Saturday's game against Utah.
Analyse
The Bucks will deploy a larger starting five Saturday with Kuzma replacing AJ Green in the first unit. As a starter this season (32 games), Kuzma has averaged 13.9 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 28.8 minutes per contest.

Nearly perfect from field
Kuzma finished with 16 points (7-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 131-113 loss to the Hawks.
Analyse
Kuzma returned to the rotation Wednesday after being a DNP-CD in the loss to the Celtics on Monday, and this outing showed head coach Doc Rivers why he needs to continue playing even if it's in a limited capacity off the bench. Kuzma can be a capable scorer when given the chance. He has scored in double digits in all but one of his last nine games, averaging 13.9 points while shooting 48 percent from the floor in that stretch.
