Milwaukee Bucks guard Gary Trent Jr. (hip) is active on Tuesday night for Milwaukee's game against the Toronto Raptors. Trent will come off the bench and Ryan Hollis will get the start in place of the injured Damian Lillard. Trent has missed two games with a nagging hip issue but is now in a spot where he's able to play. Fantasy managers should expect moderate production out of the 25-year-old who has struggled from the three point line, an area he's generally strong at. DFS managers willing to take a risk on a cheap option may find more value out of Trent tonight compared to fantasy managers in traditional leagues.
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is available ahead of Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. As expected, Antetokounmpo will play after being listed as probable heading into this game. The Bucs are going to need him with Damian Lillard (concussion) ruled out for this game. The expectation is that Antetokounmpo will take on a heavy workload on Tuesday. Fantasy managers should get him back in their lineups ahead of tip-off.
Milwaukee Bucks guard Gary Trent Jr. (hip) is listed as probable for Tuesday night's game against the Toronto Raptors. Trent is dealing with lower back spasms that have caused him to miss the last two games. The probable tag is a positive sign for the Bucks who will be in desperate need of more offensive production Tuesday with Damian Lillard (concussion) being listed as out. Trent started seven games for the Bucks to start the season but only averaged 8.0 PPG and shot just 23.1% from three, an area that's generally a strength for him as a 38.3% career three point shooter. It's unclear if the Bucks will put Trent back into the starting lineup but there's potential for him to have a decent fantasy impact with Milwaukee's need to replace Lillard's three point shooting. Fantasy managers should check in on the Bucks' starting lineup before putting Trent into theirs.
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is listed as probable for Tuesday night's matchup against the Toronto Raptors. Antetokounmpo has been dealing with a knee issue but it hasn't caused him to miss any of the last three games. With Damian Lillard in concussion protocol and listed as out for Tuesday, expect Antetokounmpo to shoulder more of the offensive load on Tuesday. Fantasy managers will already have him in their starting lineups but DFS managers may want to ensure The Greek Freak is in their lineups as well and should expect a bump in assists from the 29-year-old.
Milwaukee Bucks point guard Damian Lillard is in concussion protocol and has been ruled out for Tuesday night's game against the Toronto Raptors. Lillard has yet to miss a game this season and his presence will be missed in Milwaukee's first in-season tournament game. The 34-year-old is averaging 26.0 PPG and 6.6 APG for the struggling Bucks. With Lillard out, expect Ryan Rollins or Delon Wright to get more minutes. Wright had been getting bench minutes to start the season but had gotten demoted over the last three games where Rollins has taken over. Rollins has yet to start a game in his three-year NBA career. With volatility at the point guard role, fantasy managers and DFS players should instead expect Giannis Antetokounmpo to produce more, especially from an assists perspective.
