Gary Trent Jr. Returns To Action Thursday
3 years agoToronto Raptors shooting guard Gary Trent Jr. (calf) has been cleared to take the floor for Thursday's game against the Bucks. Trent returns after a two-game stint on the sidelines that allowed Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk to become a DFS option, although the latter is set to return to the second unit Thursday. Trent has upped his scoring average to 17.3 points across his first 20 contests, pitching in 3.1 boards and 2.1 steals on a nightly basis. His workload (34.4 minutes per game) likely earns him consideration in most season-long formats, especially while averaging 2.7 made triples per outing. Milwaukee's defense presents a tough test, as the Bucks are allowing opponents to hit at just a 32.3 percent clip from deep, the third-lowest mark in the league.
