MIL • Center and Power Forward • #13
13 days ago
Dieng has struggled to produce or see minutes consistently this season, but has flashed a high-ceiling in the last two games. The 22-year-old small forward followed up a 17-point performance in 23 minutes in the win against the Magic on Wednesday with a full stat line in the win over the Thunder on Thursday. Dieng had 19 points and was just four assists shy of a triple-double while also contributing on the defensive end with a steal and four blocks. He also made three three-pointers. The Bucks deciding to keep giving him more minutes could lead to more games like this in the future.

With Myles Turner (calf) a late scratch Thursday, Dieng will move into the starting lineup as the only change for the Bucks. The 22-year-old small forward had 17 points in 23 minutes off the bench in Wednesday’s win over the Magic.

Dieng’s first game with the Bucks was just a five-minute in a blowout loss, and he wasn’t able to do much. However, his role expanded in his second game with the team, and he set a new career high for three-pointers in a game. He’s still only 22 years old, and he holds plenty of upside. He could end up playing a larger role for the Bucks over the final two months of the season, which could lead to more productive outings like this one.

This is the third trade that Dieng has been involved in this deadline. He went from Oklahoma City to Charlotte to Chicago and now to Milwaukee. There likely isn’t enough time for another deal to happen, so hopefully he has a sense of clarity about where he’ll be headed. Dieng is a former lottery pick that is still only 22 years old, so he’s worth taking a chance on for the Bucks. He should see more minutes that he did in OKC, and as long as Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) remains out, he could end up taking on a significant role during silly season.

Dieng was never able to carve out a spot in the rotation for the Thunder since they drafted him 11th overall in 2022. He still has loads of untapped potential, and he should get a larger opportunity in Chicago. Keep an eye on him as silly season approaches since this trade indicates the Bulls could pivot towards improving their lottery odds.

Dieng is listed as “not with team”, and with trade rumors swirling, it’s possible Dieng could be on the move ahead of the trade deadline. He hasn’t been a large part of the rotation for most of the season, and the only path to him making a statistical impact this season likely comes through a trade.

Dieng, who last appeared in a game on December 10, could be asked to play rotation minutes on Friday. The Thunder won’t have Chet Holmgren, Isaiah Hartenstein or Jaylin Williams due to injury, so playing time should be available. That said, there’s no need to stream Dieng.

Dieng exited early from Sunday’s game, but he was only playing because of the lopsided score. He’ll be available against the Clippers, but he won’t play much of a role, if he sees the floor at all.

Dieng played six first-half minutes before being sidelined by a calf contusion. He finished with three points, one rebound, one assist, one blocked shot and one three-pointer. Fellow reserve Branden Carlson may pick up additional minutes in the second half, but this does not impact fantasy basketball.

Dieng’s three-pointer with less than a second remaining sealed the win for the Thunder in this one. The 22-year-old forward led OKC in points and shot attempts in this one. That isn’t going to happen during the regular season, but Dieng has shown enough so far in the preseason to take notice. Maybe the Thunder give him more bench minutes this year after the production they’ve seen so far.

Despite shooting inefficiently from beyond the arc, the fourth-year forward utilized a high volume of shots to conclude as one of five Thunder players to reach double figures in scoring. Dieng’s rebounding and playmaking were also noteworthy as he tallied a team-high in assists in his 35 minutes of game action. He’s now logged two productive preseason outings, which could serve as momentum the rest of the way and into the regular season. Dieng has yet to earn a consistent role in Oklahoma City’s nightly rotation.

Dieng exited early from Saturday’s game against Detroit, and the same calf injury will force him to miss Sunday’s game against Milwaukee. OKC will lose some wing depth, and his minutes will be absorbed by Alex Caruso, Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins.

Dieng has been upgraded from questionable to available. With Chet Holmgren (ankle) out, there may be room on the back end of the Thunder rotation for Dieng to play. However, that isn’t enough to make him worth the risk in fantasy leagues.

Dieng has missed Oklahoma City’s last four games, but his availability does not significantly impact the team’s rotation. Chet Holmgren (ankle) being out may free up a few minutes, but Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams are ahead of Dieng in the pecking order.
