Dudley will get the start in place of Giannis Antetokounmpo on Wednesday against Cleveland, CF Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Coach Jason Kidd did not have much to say about the decision, simply telling reporters he's "just making a change." Antetokounmpo has started 67 of 77 games this season, and he averaged more than 37 minutes per game in March - the most of any month in his career. He did struggle Saturday against Orlando, scoring eight points on just 3-of-12 shooting, but it doesn't seem as though he's being "benched" by Kidd after one poor performance. As the starter, Dudley could see a few extra minutes, but Kidd has proven time and again that his rotations blur the line between "starter" and "bench" on a nightly basis.
