“I’m trying to figure it out, man. Honestly, I’m trying to figure all that out,” Turner said after shootaround on Tuesday. “Some days, I’ll play 22 (minutes). Some days, it’s 28. I think everybody in the organization is trying to figure it out — just different lineups, different combination of guys. “At times, we like to go with switching lineups, so they put Jericho (Sims) or Ous (Ousmane Dieng) or Kuz (Kyle Kuzma), one of those guys at my position. But all I can do is go out there, just stay consistent, put my work in every single day, just to be available and be healthy. And whatever’s asked of me to do, just go out there and do.”

In Milwaukee — for at least two games — Ousmane Dieng was given a chance, and he has run with it. In fact, he took more shots in each of the last two games than he had in any game this season with the Thunder. “We need him to play with confidence,” Rivers said after the Bucks’ win in Orlando. “We kept telling him, just shoot the ball, and he did. That’s good for him. Listen, the kid’s been in the league. He’s been waiting for his turn, and now he’s getting it.” In those two games, Dieng made eight of his 14 3-point attempts (57.1 percent), which would be a significant departure from his 31.6 percent shooting on 304 3-point attempts in Oklahoma City. While he likely is not going to turn into one of the NBA’s best shooters now that he plays for a new team, even the momentary blip speaks to his underlying potential and the chance he has in Milwaukee.

Eric Nehm: FINAL: Bucks 110, Thunder 93 - Dieng 19pts/11reb/6ast/4blk - Green 17pts/2reb/3ast - Portis 15pts/12reb/3ast - Kuzma 14pts/4reb/2ast - Porter 12pts/3reb/7ast - Thomas 12pts/2ast - Nance 11pts/7reb/2ast The Bucks (23-30) won five of their last six games heading into the break.

Justin Martinez: Final: Bucks 110, Thunder 93 Chet Holmgren: 16 points and 13 boards Isaiah Joe: 17 points and 4 boards Jared McCain: 13 points and 3 boards Nikola Topic made his NBA debut. Ousmane Dieng made his return to OKC, racking up 19 points and 11 boards. OKC enters the All-Star break with a 42-14 record.

Brandon Rahbar: Myles Turner is out tonight vs OKC. Could be seeing a lot of Ousmane Dieng in his return game.
