Trent, who performed well during the Bucks’ first-round playoff series against the Pacers, has reportedly decided to return to Milwaukee on a two-year deal with a player option. In his first season with the franchise, he averaged 11.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.4 three-pointers in 25.6 minutes per game, making 74 appearances. Among Trent’s best performances were his 33-point effort in Milwaukee’s Game 5 loss to the Pacers. With Damian Lillard (Achilles) expected to miss most of next season, GTJ will be worth a look in fantasy drafts despite being more of a points and three-pointers option.

Trent Jr. provided the Bucks with another outstanding display of three-point shooting on Tuesday. The veteran guard knocked down at least eight three-pointers and eclipsed 30 points for the second time in the series. His value was shown on the defensive end as well, where he collected five steals. Trent Jr. will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason. His strong postseason may help him earn a nice contract.

Trent Jr. went off and had his best game of the year when the Bucks absolutely needed it most. Facing what would’ve been a 3-0 series deficit with a loss and with Damian Lillard failing to score in double figures, Trent Jr. poured in 37 points and nine made three-pointers. Trent Jr. and Giannis Antetokounmpo became the only Bucks duo to have at least 35 points each in a playoff game. With Lillard struggling since returning from injury, Milwaukee might need to count on Trent Jr. for another big performance as they look to even the series in Game 4 Sunday.

With Friday’s win over the Pistons, the Bucks secured the fifth seed in the East. They have nothing to play for in Sunday’s regular-season finale. Trent and Porter are among the key contributors who will not play, resting up for the start of the playoffs next weekend. Stanley Umude and Jamaree Bouyea should play rotation minutes on Sunday, and both are extremely risky plays in active fantasy leagues.

With Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) out, Trent moved into the Bucks’ starting lineup on Sunday. The move gave him a welcomed boost, and Sunday was an excellent night to stream the guard. Not only were Trent’s 29 points a season-high, but this was also his first game with at least 20 since March 20. Damian Lillard’s absence has raised Trent’s ceiling, but he’s even better when Giannis is also out, since it has meant he’ll be in the starting lineup.

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.

Despite being used in a reserve role, Trent’s fantasy value has increased with Damian Lillard out of the Bucks’ lineup. Over the past week, he has provided fourth-round value in nine-cat formats. Points, three-pointers and steals have been the areas in which Trent has been most valuable recently, and he had good nights in those categories in Phoenix. Rostered in just 10 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Trent is worth rostering while Lillard sits.

Trent Jr. has been managing a knee issue, but he has played in Milwaukee’s last seven games. That isn’t expected to change on Saturday, and with Damian Lillard out, Trent Jr. may be asked to do a little extra scoring once again after he scored 23 points on Thursday.

GTJ continues to be a reliable scoring option off the bench for Milwaukee, and he was able to step up on Thursday and have one of his best performances of the season. All of his makes were from the three-point arc, so he tied his season-high for scoring and fell one three-pointer shy of tying his season-high. This was the fifth-straight game that Trent Jr. scored in double figures, which has led to strong fantasy production during this stretch. He’ll look to keep it going in Sacramento on Saturday.

Trent Jr. was initially probable, and he has now been cleared to suit up. He has been given the probable tag ahead of Milwaukee’s last couple games, and he’ll continue to provide offensive punch off the bench.

Trent was considered questionable for Sunday’s loss to the Thunder, ultimately playing 25 minutes off the bench. The probable tag suggests he’ll be available, and fantasy managers should anticipate a similar workload for GTJ. At best, he’s a player to consider in deep fantasy leagues.

Trent and Sims are available after the Bucks listed both as questionable for Sunday’s game. The former offers a higher fantasy ceiling, but neither is a must-have in most leagues. Regarding Sims, his sprained thumb could require surgery, but he has been deemed healthy enough to play on Sunday.

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.

Trent is available after missing two games with a hyperextended right knee. He’ll remain in his usual reserve role, which has added importance to the Bucks due to Bobby Portis’ 25-game suspension. Trent is only worth a dart throw in deep leagues where there’s a need for three-pointers.

Trent did not play in Wednesday’s win over the Mavericks and appears likely to miss a second straight game. Fellow reserves AJ Green and Kevin Porter Jr. absorbed most of the minutes that would have gone to Trent, which should remain the case on Saturday.

Trent has been healthy as of late while Connaughton hasn’t played in eight of the Bucks’ previous 10 games. AJ Green and Andre Jackson Jr. could find some extra minutes off the bench on Wednesday.

Trent hasn’t been consistently productive since the Bucks lost Bobby Portis to a 25-game suspension, but he does have added importance. Saturday night, he recorded his first 20-point game since February 12 (21 vs. Minnesota), the Bucks’ final game before the All-Star break. Rostered in 10 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Trent hasn’t been a top 200 player in eight- or nine-cat formats. However, with the Bucks playing two back-to-backs during Week 18, he may be worth the streaming risk in extremely deep leagues.

Trent was a late addition to the injury report, with the Bucks listing him as questionable following pregame shootaround. He’s officially available to play and can provide deep-league value as the Bucks continue to play without the suspended Bobby Portis.

Trent Jr. popping up as questionable merely hours before game-time is never a good sign. It’s unclear what illness the 26-year-old shooting guard is battling, but his questionable listing gives him a legitimate chance of missing Saturday’s game against the Mavericks. Trent Jr. only has deep league fantasy appeal when available playing with the Bucks’ second unit.
