He is averaging 21 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 4.3 assists on 45% shooting from the field and 39% from three. He played 27 minutes against the Celtics, contributing 13 points.

Kel'el Ware is QUESTIONABLE with a left ankle sprain. He is averaging 8.6 points and 6.9 rebounds in ten games this season.

If Herro is unable to play, Ryan Rollins could be back in the starting lineup to help keep the offense afloat. Kyle Kuzma, Brayden Burries, Myles Turner, and Jaime Jaquez Jr. will be four of the five starters for the Bucks.

Nate Ament played a career high 23 minutes off the bench against the Celtics. Rollins, AJ Green, Ousmane Dieng, and Jericho Sims all played 15 minutes or more. Kel’el Ware and Kasparas Jakucionis played less than ten minutes and have seen their minutes drop with each passing game.
