Wilson won't start Tuesday's game against Milwaukee, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Wilson will retreat to the second unit after starting Sunday's win over the Wizards. Over 13 appearances off the bench since the All-Star break, the 25-year-old forward has averaged 6.5 points and 2.2 rebounds in 13.2 minutes per showing.

Traore won't start Tuesday's game against Milwaukee, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Traore has been a fixture in the starting lineup since the end of January. However, with head coach Jordi Fernandez evaluating things for next season, Ben Saraf (back), who was upgraded to available after missing Sunday's 121-115 win over Washington, will re-enter the starting lineup, sending Traore to the bench.

Johnson won't start Tuesday's game against the Bucks, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Johnson got the starting nod in Sunday's win over Washington but will slide to the second unit Tuesday. As a reserve this season (14 games), he has averaged 7.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 20.0 minutes per contest.

Scott is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's matchup with the Bucks, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Scott will be elevated into a starting role in just his third game of the season, and he could see quality minutes with Brooklyn so banged up. Scott produced four points, eight rebounds, three assists, one steal and two blocks over 28 minutes his last time out, so he could be worth a dart throw in daily fantasy leagues.

Prince will start Tuesday's game against the Nets.

With Ryan Rollins (hip) joining an extensive list of Bucks players on the inactive list, Prince will get the starting nod in the front end of this back-to-back. The veteran forward has averaged 7.0 points and 3.3 rebounds in 21.7 minutes per contest across three starts this season.

Saraf will start Tuesday against the Bucks, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Saraf will start in his return from a one-game absence, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Malachi Smith, Drake Powell, E.J. Liddell and Trevon Scott. Across seven starts this season, Saraf has posted averages of 5.7 points, 3.9 assists, and 2.4 turnovers per game.

Sims will start Tuesday's game against Brooklyn.

Sims will return to the starting lineup versus the Nets after coming off the bench in Milwaukee's last two contests. In 16 starts during the campaign, the 27-year-old has averaged 6.3 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.4 blocks and 0.3 steals across 25.3 minutes.

Nance will start Tuesday's game against the Nets.

With Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) unavailable, Nance will step into the starting lineup. As a starter this season (five games), the 26-year-old forward has averaged 10.6 points and 5.0 rebounds in 34.6 minutes per game.

Walter will come off the bench for Tuesday's game against the Heat.

Immanuel Quickley will replace Walter in the first unit for Tuesday's game, and with Quickley active, Walter's minutes figure to dip. As a member of the second unit this season, Walter has averaged 6.7 points and 1.3 three-pointers per game.

Fontecchio won't start Tuesday's game against Toronto.

Fontecchio got the start in Saturday's 152-136 win over the Wizards, finishing with eight points, one rebound, four assists and one steal in 19 minutes. However, with Tyler Herro (personal) back in the lineup, Fontecchio will head back to the bench.
