Bucks' Tyler Smith: Caps rookie season in style
Rotowire
Smith accumulated 20 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one block and one steal in 30 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 140-133 overtime victory over the Pistons.
There was nothing on the line for either team in the regular-season finale, so Smith saw a significant workload for only the second time in his brief career and produced career highs in points and made three-pointers. The 2024 second-round pick should return to his spot at the end of the bench when the Bucks begin their playoff run Saturday in Indiana.

Smith missed the Bucks' last two games due to a right ankle sprain, but he appears to be on track to play in Sunday's regular-season finale.

Bucks' Tyler Smith: Gets garbage-time run
Rotowire
Smith played the final 3:21 of Thursday's 118-89 win over the Lakers, finishing with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one foul and no other statistics.
Smith had missed two straight games last week due to back spasms, but he was cleared to play ahead of Saturday's 126-119 win over the Pacers. He didn't appear in that contest, but Smith has now seen garbage-time run in two of the Bucks' last three games, logging five minutes in total. Even though Bobby Portis (suspension) won't be eligible to play until April 8 and Jericho Sims (thumb) is out for the remainder of the regular season, the Bucks haven't opened up a spot in the rotation for Smith or another player to play backup center. Instead, head coach Doc Rivers looks like he'll continue to stagger Brook Lopez and Giannis Antetokounmpo at center and run small-ball lineups when either big man is off the court.
