Dudley will shift back to the bench for Friday's game against the Knicks, Ian Begley of ESPN reports.

Analysis:

Dudley got the call while Giannis Antetokounmpo (coach's decision) sat out Wednesday, but with Antetokounmpo returning to the lineup Friday, Dudley will move back to a reserve role. Dudley provided five points, three rebounds and seven assists in 32 minutes Wednesday. He's an integral role player for the Bucks, who can clinch a playoff spot Friday, but he doesn't rack up counting stats consistently enough to warrant consideration in most leagues.
