Trent amassed 17 points (5-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT) and two assists across 32 minutes during Saturday's 135-133 loss to Sacramento.
It was an efficient shooting display by Trent, who has now managed to score in double figures in five of his first six games to start the season. The swingman should remain a viable source of threes and steals for fantasy managers in category-based settings. Trent has averaged 14.0 points, 2.7 assists, 1.8 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 3.0 three-pointers in 29.2 minutes per game this year.

Bucks' AJ Green: Extends three-point streak in loss
Rotowire
Green finished with 17 points (6-12 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 30 minutes during Saturday's 135-133 loss to the Kings.
Green continues to make a big impact from beyond the arc, burying at least three treys in his sixth straight game to begin the year. The sharpshooter remains a fine streamer for fantasy teams in need of triples, but he hasn't provided very much else in the box score to be excited about so far. Green has averaged 12.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 3.3 three-pointers in 28.3 minutes per game.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Continues to surge Saturday
Rotowire
Rollins had 16 points (8-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Saturday's 135-133 loss to Sacramento.
Rollins matched Giannis Antetokounmpo for the team lead in dimes, continuing his recent surge in the absence of Kevin Porter (ankle). Over his last five appearances, Rollins has averaged 20.0 points, 6.0 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 2.4 steals in 32.5 minutes per contest. The guard is showing early signs of breaking out in his fourth season, and Rollins appears locked into the top spot at the point with Porter out for multiple weeks.
Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Double-doubles in loss
Rotowire
Antetokounmpo amassed 26 points (8-13 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 9-14 FT), 11 rebounds, eight assists, one steal and one block across 32 minutes in Saturday's 135-133 loss to the Kings.
While his 26-point performance marked a season low, Antetokounmpo still led Milwaukee in scoring, albeit in a losing effort. The two-time MVP stuffed the stat sheet en route to his fourth double-double across five regular-season appearances, grabbing a team-high 11 boards. The superstar also tied Ryan Rollins for the team-best mark in assists and has dished out at least seven in four consecutive outings.

Bucks' Cole Anthony: Ejected Saturday
Rotowire
Anthony was ejected from Saturday's game against the Kings with two technical fouls, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Anthony logged 13 minutes in this contest before getting tossed, finishing with three points, five assists and two rebounds. Ryan Rollins will likely close this game out at point guard.

Bucks' Kyle Kuzma: Won't start Saturday
Rotowire
Kuzma won't start in Saturday's game against the Kings, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
With Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) back in action, Kuzma will retreat to the second unit. Over three appearances off the bench this season, the 30-year-old forward has averaged 8.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 20.3 minutes per contest.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Good to go Saturday
Rotowire
Antetokounmpo (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Kings, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Antetokounmpo will return to action after missing Thursday's win over Golden State due to a left knee issue. With the two-time MVP cleared to play, Kyle Kuzma is expected to move back to the bench. Over four regular-season games, Antetokounmpo has averaged 36.3 points, 14.0 rebounds, 7.0 assists and 1.3 blocks in 32.8 minutes per contest.

Bucks' Kevin Porter: Set to undergo surgery
Rotowire
Porter sustained a right knee meniscus injury while going through on-court work Thursday, which will require a minor orthopedic procedure that will keep him sidelined for at least four weeks.
Porter's absence may extend beyond this four-week window, so he's a cut candidate in re-draft leagues. Ryan Rollins has been on fire as a starter as of late, so Porter will have some competition for the starting point guard spot once he is eventually able to make it back to the court.
Antetokounmpo (knee) is questionable to play in Saturday's game against the Kings.
After missing a game for the first time this season Thursday against the Warriors due to a knee issue, Antetokounmpo has a chance to return to the floor. If the superstar big man is ruled out for this matchup, the team will likely turn to Kyle Kuzma again in the starting lineup, with Bobby Portis getting more time off the bench.

Bucks' Kevin Porter: Absence streak to continue
Rotowire
Porter (ankle) won't play in Saturday's game against the Kings.
It'll be a fifth straight game on the shelf for Porter, who continues to be hampered by a sprained ankle. His next chance to return comes Monday in Indiana. Ryan Rollins has been on a tear and is perhaps running away with the top spot at point guard in Porter's stead, with the former averaging 21.0 points, 5.5 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 2.5 steals per game across his last four appearances.

Bucks' Gary Harris: Limited to four minutes
Rotowire
Harris totaled one rebound and two assists over four minutes during Thursday's 120-110 win over the Warriors.
Even with Kevin Porter (ankle) out, Harris has struggled to break through this rotation. The veteran guard has appeared in just two out of five games on a very limited basis.

Bucks' Kyle Kuzma: Scores 10 points with eight boards
Rotowire
Kuzma compiled 10 points (4-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one steal and four turnovers in 36 minutes during Thursday's 120-110 win over the Warriors.
Kuzma received a spot-start with Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) sitting this one out, but with Ryan Rollins having the game of his life, Kuzma took a backseat on offense. He's had a quiet start to the season, posting forgettable averages of 8.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.0 turnovers per game.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Erupts for career-high 32 points
Rotowire
Rollins erupted with a career-high 32 points (13-21 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and just one turnover in 36 minutes during Thursday's 120-110 win over the Warriors.
Rollins had the hot hand early for Milwaukee, scoring nine of their first 14 points, and he stuck with that aggressive scoring mentality for the rest of the game with Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) watching from the sidelines. He crossed the 30-point mark with a dagger three-pointer with under a minute left in regulation to seal the deal for the Bucks, and he's now had back-to-back, career-high scoring outings. Over the past four, Rollins has been churning out averages of 21.0 points, 5.5 assists, 2.8 triples and 2.5 steals per contest.

Bucks' Myles Turner: Scores 17 points in win
Rotowire
Turner posted 17 points (7-12 FG), seven rebounds, three assists, three triples, one block and one turnover across 29 minutes during Thursday's 120-110 victory over Golden State.
The 17 points marked a season-high for Turner, who saw some more shots falling his way with Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) unavailable, although the single block was a bit disappointing. The scoring has been inconsistent for Turner early in the season as he adjusts to his new surroundings, but he's been steady with the blocks and is averaging a career-high 3.0 assists per game, so it hasn't been a total disaster.
Kuzma will be in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Warriors.
With Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) a late scratch, the team will turn to Kuzma in the first five. He'll be joined by Ryan Rollins, AJ Green, Gary Trent and Myles Turner.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Ruled out for Thursday
Rotowire
Antetokounmpo (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Warriors.
Antetokounmpo was initially listed as probable for Thursday's game, so, surprisingly, he's getting ruled out just an hour before tip-off. With Antetokounmpo on the sidelines, Kyle Kuzma or Bobby Portis could start and there will be more shots for guys like Myles Turner, Gary Trent and Ryan Rollins. Antetokounmpo's next chance to play will come Saturday versus Sacramento.
