Trent ended Thursday's 123-114 overtime loss to Philadelphia with 11 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt), two assists and one steal across 38 minutes.
Head coach Doc Rivers experimented with his lineup in the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin), starting Trent over Bobby Portis to begin the second half. Trent should certainly have more opportunities to produce while Antetokounmpo is on the shelf, making him worth a look in deep category leagues for the time being. For the season, the veteran sharpshooter has averaged 10.3 points, 2.0 assists, 1.5 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 16 games.

Bucks' Gary Trent: Relegated to bench
Rotowire
Trent ended with eight points (3-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one assist and one steal over 21 minutes during Friday's 147-134 overtime victory over the Hornets.
Trent shifted to the bench, a move that did nothing to end his recent lack of production. He has now scored single digits in six straight games, averaging 5.5 points per contest during that span. Given his limited skill set, Trent should be viewed as nothing more than a three-point streaming consideration.

Bucks' Gary Trent: Headed to bench
Rotowire
Trent will come off the bench for Friday's game against the Hornets.
Trent has hit a rough patch over the past five games, so Bucks' head coach Doc Rivers will send him to the bench and shift Kyle Kuzma to the three-spot to infuse some more offense into Milwaukee's first unit. Trent ranks outside the top 150 on the year, so he belongs on the waiver wire.

Bucks' Gary Trent: Trio of three-pointers in loss
Rotowire
Trent racked up nine points (3-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and two steals over 29 minutes during Sunday's 122-115 loss to the Rockets.
Trent's usage has been trending downwards, as he is only averaging 6.7 points on 6.3 attempts from the field in his last three games after averaging 13.6 points on 11.1 attempts in his first seven games to start the season. Trent will look to get right offensively Monday against the Mavericks.

Bucks' Gary Trent: Efficient 17 points Saturday
Rotowire
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' Gary Trent: Available Tuesday
Rotowire
Trent (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
Trent was added to the injury report Tuesday morning due to an illness but will give it a go against New York. The 26-year-old swingman has averaged 14.3 points, 2.7 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 27.3 minutes per game across three regular-season appearances so far.

Bucks' Gary Trent: Connects on four three-pointers
Rotowire
Trent finished Friday's 122-116 win over the Raptors with 20 points (7-15 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds and four assists over 29 minutes.
Trent was one of three Bucks players to score 20-plus points in Friday's win, and most of his damage came from deep with four triples. The eight-year pro is off to a nice start to the season, averaging 18.5 points while going 9-for-22 from deep through the first two games. Trent's role in the offense could expand even more if Kyle Kuzma is sidelined due to an ankle sprain that he sustained in the fourth quarter of Friday's game.

Bucks' Gary Trent: Scores 17 points in win
Rotowire
Trent closed with 17 points (6-12 FG, 5-11 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 133-120 win over the Wizards.
Trent, who returned to the Bucks during the offseason on a two-year, $7.5 million bargain-bin deal, started this game and got plenty of looks from beyond the arc. Kevin Porter left this game early with an ankle issue and could miss time, making Trent even more important for his ability to space the floor. His overall upside isn't the greatest, but he's an excellent source of points, three-pointers and steals when he's in form.

Bucks' Gary Trent: Returning to Milwaukee
Rotowire
Trent agreed to a two-year, $7.5 million deal with the Bucks on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Trent was slated to hit the open market as an unrestricted free agent, but the Bucks moved fast to keep him around. The veteran provides some much-needed floor spacing, and he should see consistent minutes in Milwaukee as an outside scoring threat. Trent averaged 11.1 points, 2.4 three-pointers, 2.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 steals across 25.6 minutes per game in 74 regular-season appearances (nine starts) with the Bucks in 2024-25.

Bucks' Gary Trent: Explodes for 33 points in loss
Rotowire
Trent logged 33 points (12-25 FG, 8-17 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, five steals and two assists across 48 minutes during Tuesday's 119-118 overtime loss to Indiana in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Trent erupted for a game-high 33 points, combining for 24 points in the fourth quarter and overtime alone. He also tied his career-high mark in steals while leading Milwaukee in playing time. However, the 26-year-old guard committed two costly turnovers down the stretch, and the Bucks were eliminated in a close matchup. Trent is slated to become an unrestricted free agent after finishing the 2024-25 campaign with averages of 11.1 points, 2.4 three-pointers, 2.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 steals across 25.6 minutes per game in 74 regular-season appearances (nine starts).

Bucks' Gary Trent: Explodes for 37 points in win
Rotowire
Trent closed with 37 points (11-16 FG, 9-12 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds and four steals across 34 minutes during Friday's 117-101 win over Indiana in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Trent moved into a starting role for this matchup and posted an impressive stat line while also matching Ray Allen's record of nine threes made in a playoff game. This was one of Trent's best scoring performances of his career, and the veteran should continue to be an offensive asset for the Bucks. Milwaukee will aim to even the series Sunday.

Bucks' Gary Trent: Struggles in Game 2
Rotowire
Trent logged four points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 123-115 loss to Indiana in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Similar to Game 1, Trent played a massive role off the bench, but he couldn't find his shot this time around. Kevin Porter was way more effective with nine points in 15 minutes, so it will be interesting to see if that affects Trent's workload going forward.

Trent will return to game action after sitting out the club's regular-season finale due to a right knee contusion. Over his last five outings (one start), the 26-year-old guard has averaged 12.8 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists across 27.2 minutes per game.

Bucks' Gary Trent: Unlikely to play Sunday
Rotowire
Trent (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Pistons.
Locked in as the No. 5 seed in the Eastern Conference standings, the Bucks will likely rest their top rotational players Sunday while gearing up for a postseason run. If Trent were to be ruled out, he would finish the 2024-25 regular season averaging 11.1 points on 43.1 percent shooting (including 41.6 percent from three on 5.9 3PA/G), 2.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 25.6 minutes per contest across 74 games (nine starts). Trent's absence would open the door for more minutes for Andrew Jackson and Ryan Rollins (shoulder).

Bucks' Gary Trent: Explodes for 29 points Sunday
Rotowire
Trent ended Sunday's 111-107 win over the Pelicans with 29 points (10-17 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 5-8 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 40 minutes.
With Damian Lillard (calf) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) sidelined, Trent started for the first time since March 26 and for the second time since the All-Star break. He made the most of the opportunity and established a new season-high scoring mark. Trent might struggle with consistency on a game-to-game basis, and his fantasy upside won't be very high if he continues to operate off the bench, but he still delivers value as a second-unit shooter for Milwaukee. He has scored in double digits in 12 of his last 14 appearances, averaging 13.9 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game while shooting 41.2 percent from three-point range in that stretch.
