Even with the move into the starting lineup, not much changed for Trent regarding where he provided value. Eleven of his 15 shot attempts were from beyond the arc, with the Bucks guard connecting on four. AJ Green offered a more robust stat line despite coming off the bench, finishing with 15 points, five rebounds, five assists and five three-pointers in 34 minutes. Trent remains the superior streaming option if Giannis Antetokounmpo is not healthy enough to play on Friday. However, deep-league managers should consider Green since the minutes will be there if Giannis is out.
In addition to Damian Lillard, the Bucks will be without Giannis Antetokounmpo for Wednesday's game. Bucks coach Doc Rivers has also removed Ryan Rollins from the starting lineup, inserting Porter and Trent. While Trent possesses the safer fantasy floor, both players are worth streaming in this spot.
Antetokounmpo was already out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets. The good news is that Rivers expects the former MVP to be available for Milwaukee's next game, Friday night, against the Knicks. The absences of Giannis and Damian Lillard (calf) raise Gary Trent Jr.'s fantasy ceiling, making him a player worth streaming in standard leagues. Kevin Porter Jr. will be worth a look in deeper leagues, but Trent is the player who should be targeted.
Antetokounmpo has consistently been on the court since the All-Star break despite several injury designations, but now he's set to miss his first game of the month. Gary Trent Jr. could be poised to slot into the starting lineup as a small forward while Kyle Kuzma drops down to power forward against Denver.
