What happened: Brayden Burries has been inserted into the starting lineup for his first career NBA start. The rookie guard moves into the first unit after appearing in six games as a reserve to open the campaign.

Why it matters: The starting assignment represents an expanded role for Burries, who scored 19 points in preseason play and posted 14 points against Cleveland on Oct. 31. Milwaukee adjusts its rotation seeking perimeter production after a 1-4 start to the season.

By the numbers: Burries is averaging 8.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 2026-27 through 6 games.

What to watch: Burries will look to carry his scoring efficiency into starter minutes as the rotation takes shape.
