Kyle Kuzma DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Milwaukee Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma will make his team debut in Friday's matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. Following his trade from the Washington Wizards, it was initially uncertain if Kuzma would be available to suit up on Friday. The Bucks have Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) on the shelf, so Kuzma has a good opportunity to make a significant impact right away. It's a good fantasy matchup against a team ranked second in pace but with a mediocre defensive rating.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma is listed as questionable to debut with his new club on Friday. Kuzma was a part of the trade that sent Kris Middleton to the Wizards on Wednesday. The 29-year-old suited up 32 times for Washington this season before the Bucks acquired him. In D.C., he averaged 15.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.4 three-pointers in 27.7 minutes per contest. If Kuzma doesn't play this evening, he could make his Bucks debut on Sunday at home against the Sixers.

Shams Charania of ESPN reports that the Milwaukee Bucks acquired forward Kyle Kuzma, forward Patrick Baldwin Jr. and a 2025 second-round draft pick from the Wizards on Wednesday for Khris Middleton,AJ Johnson and a 2028 first-round pick swap. Kuzma has struggled at times during the season, averaging 15.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.4 three-pointers in 27.7 minutes per contest. However, a change of scenery may help the 29-year-old fantasy-wise, as he could move into the Bucks' starting lineup.
