Ilyasova is resting Wednesday against the Jazz, Matt Velazquez of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Bucks will opt to give the veteran the night off. With DJ Wilson (hamstring) also sidelined, Dragan Bender and Thanasis Antetokounmpo could see solid run in the frontcourt.

Ilyasova ended with 17 points (7-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, and two steals in 21 minutes during Friday's 125-103 victory over Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Despite another impressive performance from Giannis Antetokounmpo, it was the bench unit that shone during the Bucks easy Game 2 victory over the Raptors. Ilyasova himself had his best game of the playoffs, dropping 17 points in just 21 minutes. He nailed two triples as well taking a number of charges, something he is very adept at doing. The Bucks run nine players deep on most nights and their ability to garner production from a range of sources certainly gives them a foot up on their opponents.

Ilyasova will start in Wednesday's regular season finale against the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
With the Bucks resting a number of players in their final game of the regular season, Ilyasova will get the start in the frontcourt alongside D.J. Wilson. Look for Ilyasova to get plenty of minutes Wednesday as a result.

Ilyasova finished with 12 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds and a steal over 25 minutes in the Bucks' loss to the Nets on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Ilyasova finished with a serviceable stat line in Saturday's loss. He has played a limited role for the Bucks this season, averaging just 6.8 points and 4.4 rebounds in 18.2 minutes per game. His upside is very limited.

Ilyasova (nose) will play Saturday against the Nets, according to freelance reporter Kane Pitman.
EDGE Analysis
Despite breaking his nose during the Bucks' previous game, Ilyasova will take the court Saturday. It's possible he sees more run with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) being ruled out.

Ilyasova is probable for Saturday's game against the Nets due to a nasal fracture.
EDGE Analysis
Despite the nasal fracture, the expectation is that Ilyasova will take the court for the Bucks in what is the team's third-to-last game of the season. Across his past six appearances, he's averaging 5.7 points and 3.8 rebounds in 21.2 minutes.

Ilyasova (back) scored three points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and collected two rebounds over 19 minutes Thursday against the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
Ilyasova was held out of Monday's matchup with Brooklyn due to a back injury, but he managed to return to game action Thursday night. He didn't do much offensively but played stellar defense as per usual, as the Bucks clinched the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference with a victory over the Sixers. Ilyasova is averaging 6.8 points and 4.5 rebounds through 63 contests with three games remaining in the regular season.

Ilyasova (back) is considered probable for Thursday's game against Philly.
EDGE Analysis
Ilyasova was held out of Monday's win over the Nets with a sore back, but his absence looks to have been only precautionary. Expect the league's leader in charges-taken -- by a massive margin -- to be back on the floor Thursday, barring a setback.

Ilyasova is out for Monday's game against Brooklyn due to back soreness.
EDGE Analysis
Ilyasova played 22 minutes in Sunday's matchup with Atlanta, but it appears he aggravated his back at some point during the contest. With Nikola Mirotic (thumb) and Tony Snell (ankle) on the shelf and Giannis Antetokoumpo (ankle) listed as a game-time call, the Bucks will be forced to play short-handed in the frontcourt Monday night. D.J. Wilson and Bonzie Bolson could both be asked to play extended minutes as a result.

Ilyasova posted two points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two blocks, and one assist in 22 minutes during Thursday's 128-118 win over the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Ilyasova has earned 20-plus minutes in four of the last five games. The absence of Nikola Mirotic (thumb) has resulted in an increased role for Ilyasova as of late, and that's likely to continue for at least another week or so. Moreover, with Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) likely to be listed as questionable in advance of Sunday's matchup versus the Hawks, Ilyasova could have even more avenues toward ample playing time.
