Gary Trent Jr. Will Miss Second Straight Game Friday
Gary Trent Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Magic due to a sore right ankle. The trio of Rodney Hood, Deandre Bembry and Paul Watson figure to see as many minutes on the wing as they can handle, with Stanley Johnson also a candidate to snatch some added playing time. Trent's last four appearances have been as sweeping on the spectrum as they come with scoring performances of six, 44, 23, and seven points, an indication of his fantasy volatility. Having averaged 15.2 field-goal attempts per game since joining the Raptors, Trent's upside remains sizable over the final month of the year.

Gary Trent Jr. Will Play On Saturday
Gary Trent Jr. (knee) is available to play ahead of Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. As expected, Trent has been cleared to play after being listed as probable on the injury report coming into this game. He continues to deal with a lingering knee issue, but will suit up for his eighth straight game on Saturday. The expectation is that Trent will see a boost in fantasy value with Damian Lillard (calf) unavailable for this game. Trent is coming off a 23-point performance and could be worth a look as a streaming option with the Bucks shorthanded on Saturday.

Gary Trent Jr. Considered Probable For Thursday
Gary Trent Jr. (knee) is regarded as probable for Thursday's meeting with the Los Angeles Lakers. He is on the injury report with left patella tendinopathy. However, it is only a minor ailment, and Trent Jr. is expected to play on Thursday. When he gets the official clearance, Trent Jr. will attempt to stretch a scoring streak of 10-plus points to five games. It would be his second-longest such streak of the season. If he suffers a significant setback that takes him out of the lineup, the Bucks will look to receive greater contributions from AJ Green and Kevin Porter Jr.

Gary Trent Jr. To Play On Tuesday
Gary Trent Jr. (knee) is available ahead of Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. As expected, Trent is available to play after being listed as probable on the injury report due to a knee injury. The 26-year-old has picked up the slack recently with 12 points or more in each of his last three games. There's not a ton of fantasy value here, but Trent could offer some low-end or deep league appeal, assuming he continues to play around 20 minutes per game.

Despite that, Trent has been cleared to play and figures to play his normal role on Sunday. Trent offers low-end streaming appeal with back-to-back performances of 13 points or more. He's more worth a look in deep leagues rather than standard 12-team formats.
