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.

Will return to rotation
Head coach Doc Rivers said before Wednesday's game against Atlanta that Kuzma will return to the rotation after going unused off the bench in Monday's loss to Boston, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
Kuzma fell out of the rotation Monday with Giannis Antetokounmpo returning from a 15-game absence due to a right calf strain. However, Kuzma is not expected to collect dust on the bench and appears likely to see the floor in Wednesday's contest. Rivers added that he suspects the Bucks will put the ball back in the veteran forward's hands on offense, so it wouldn't be surprising if Kuzma is utilized in more of an on-ball role when Antetokounmpo rests. It's worth noting that Kevin Porter (knee) is unavailable Wednesday.

Exits rotation Monday
Kuzma (coach's decision) went unused Monday in the Bucks' 108-81 loss to the Celtics.
Analyse
A starter in each of his last 17 appearances, Kuzma moved to the bench and ended up falling out of the rotation entirely while Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) made his return from a five-plus-week absence. According to Eric Nehm of The Athletic, head coach Doc Rivers confirmed after the game that Kuzma wasn't dealing with any sort of injury or illness, so the veteran forward's absence from the rotation could prove to be more than a one-time arrangement.

Bench role Monday
Kuzma is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Boston.
Analyse
With Giannis Antetokounmpo returning to the lineup, Kuzma will shift to a reserve role after starting his previous 17 appearances. In 24 games off the bench this season, the 30-year-old is averaging 11.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 23.7 minutes per contest.
