Dellavedova will return to the bench for Tuesday's game against the Bulls, Matt Velazquez of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) sitting out Saturday's matchup with the Hornets, the Bucks went with a smaller lineup, which allowed Dellavedova to pick up the start. However, Antetokounmpo is back to full strength and has been cleared for a full workload, so Dellavedova is set to resume his usual role of the bench and should see a slight drop in his overall workload. Dellavedova is averaging just 14.7 minutes in three games since return from a lengthy absence due to a knee injury.

Dellavedova will draw the start for Saturday's contest against the Hornets due to Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) being ruled out, Matt Velazquez of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dellavedova has played a total of 25 minutes in the two games he's been back from knee tendinitis, collecting six points, four assists and one steal. It's unclear if he'll play significantly more minutes Saturday, especially since the team recently added Sean Kilpatrick to bolster their backcourt.

Dellavedova will return to the bench for Friday's game against the Hornets due to Tony Snell joining the starting five, Matt Velazquez of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Dellavedova will also be limited to 10-15 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Dellavedova returned from a 15-game absence Tuesday to play 11 minutes. Prior to his injury, he was seeing 19.8 minutes per game, though that was before the Bucks traded for Eric Bledsoe.

Dellavedova compiled six points (2-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt) and one steal in 11 minutes during Tuesday's 119-116 win over the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
Making his return from a 15-game absence with knee tendinitis, Dellavedova drew the start against his former team. Nevertheless, with Eric Bledsoe and Malcolm Brogdon firmly ahead of Dellavedova on the point guard depth chart and Tony Snell (knee) returning to bolster the team's wing depth, minutes will be hard to come by for Dellavedova even once he's back to full strength.

Dellavedova (knee) will start Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers and will have a minutes limit, Matt Velazquez of the Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dellavedova will make his long-awaited return to action after missing the last 15 games with tendinitis in his left knee. While he'll play under an unspecified minutes limit, Dellavedova will unseat DeAndre Liggins in the starting five. Given the restriction, Dellavedova is best avoided in daily formats, even on a night with only three games.

Dellavedova (knee) is expected to be available for Tuesday's contest against the Cavaliers, Stephen Watson of WISN 12 News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dellavedova has missed 15 straight games while recovering from left knee tendinitis, though returned to practice Monday. Apparently, things went well then and during Tuesday's morning shootaround, as the point guard is likely to be available. That said, he should be considered probable until more concrete news arrives.

Dellavedova (knee) returned to practice Monday, Matt Velazquez of the Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Bucks haven't said much about Dellavedova's recovery from tendinitis in his left knee, but the scrappy guard has missed more than a month, with Saturday's loss to Houston marking his 15th straight absence. His return to practice is certainly a step in the right direction, though coach Jason Kidd said the team will wait until Tuesday morning to make a call on his status for the evening's matchup with Cleveland.

Dellavedova (knee) will be sidelined for Saturday's tilt against the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Dellavedova will miss his 15th straight contest Saturday. He remains without a concrete timetable for a return. In his stead, Malcolm Brogdon will likely continue absorbing Dellavedova's minutes.

Dellavedova (knee) will not play Friday against the Bulls, Matt Velazquez of the Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Bucks haven't given much of an indication as to when Dellavedova might be back, but Friday will mark his 14th consecutive absence. Considering it's the first night of a home/road back-to-back, it's unlikely Dellavedova makes his return Saturday in Houston, but consider him questionable until further notice.

Dellavedova (knee) is doubtful to play against New Orleans.
EDGE Analysis
Dellavedova has missed the last 12 games with a knee injury. He'll be considered day-to-day going forward considering there is no timetable for his return. If the 27-year-old is unable to play, Rashad Vaughn and Gary Payton will likely see a slightly increased role during his absence.
