2-2 week for the Bucks,slipped to a game under .500 with a bad loss to the Magic. They looked locked into 6th but who knows the way this year has gone. O.J. Mayo appears on the list this week, he had a couple of nice games off the bench but Middleton had a pretty bad one, seems to be in a fairly extended slump.

1. Michael Carter-Williams-MCW appeared in 4 games , he played 30.8 mpg, averaged 10.3 pg, 6.8 rpg, 5.8 apg, 0.5 bpg, 2.3 spg and 4.5 tpg. He shot 16-43 on 2s(37.2%),1-4 on 3s and 6-8(75%) on FTs giving him a 40.6 TS%, the third consecutive week it's been under 41%.

2. Zaza Pachulia- Yet another very solid week shooting and rebounding. In the 4 games he played 29.5 mpg, averaged 9 ppg, 9 rpg, 3.5 apg, 0.3 bpg, 0.8 spg and 1.3 tpg. He shot 16-30(50%), and was 4-9(44.4%) on FTs which gives him a 53.0 TS% on the week, Zaza has been very solid after the break but I am still concerned he's playing to much.

3. O.J. Mayo-He starter with a rough game vs. Atlanta but finished up with 3 really good games off the bench. In the 4 games O.J. played 25.3 mpg, scored 13.3 ppg, averaged 3.3 rpg, 3 apg, 0.5 bpg, 1 spg and 1 tpg. He shot 11-18(61.1%) on 2s, 9-19 on 3s(47.4%)and was 4-7(57.1%) from the line, giving him a 66.1 TS% for the week.When OJ is hot, he is scorching hot , the Bucks will need more of that if they're going to do anything in the playoffs.

4. Giannis Antetokounmpo-Good week for Giannis that unfortunately ended with an awful game for him against Orlando. He averaged 30.3 mpg, 12 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 2.3 apg, 0.5 bpg, and 2.3 tpg. He shot 19-38 on 2s(50%), didn't attempt a 3 and was 10-12(83.3%) from the line. This gave him a 55.5TS%.

5. Ersan Ilyasova-Another very solid week for Ersan, not quite the level of the previous week but still good and was dynamite in the 3rd vs. Boston and Orlando. in the 4 games he played 28.3 mpg, averaged 16.3 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 1.3 apg, 0.8 bpg., 0.5 spg and had 1 tpg. He shot 17-39 from 2(43.6%), 8-18 from 3(44.4%) and was 5-11(45.4%) from the line. His TS% ended up at 52.6% for the week which is below what you would like to see but he was big in the 3rd against Boston helping to put the game away.
