Green is dealing with a right AC joint sprain, hence his inclusion on the Bucks' injury report. His absence would leave the Bucks light on bench options, which is highly important with Damian Lillard (calf) out indefinitely. Gary Trent Jr. will have added value if Green is unavailable.
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.
Due to left patella tendinitis, Trent has been added to the Bucks' injury report. A potential absence would free up additional minutes for AJ Green and Kevin Porter Jr. The latter offers a higher ceiling for managers needing offensive production, but Green should not be overlooked.
GTJ sat out Wednesday, and he'll miss a second straight contest on Saturday. AJ Green and Kevin Porter Jr. should handle increased playing time in Trent Jr.'s absence.
