Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (groin) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Trent is back in the mix following a two-game absence due to a right groin strain. The expectation is that Trent will move back into the starting five, which should shift Gradey Dick to the second unit. However, Dick is still worth holding in deep leagues for the moment. Trent is likely to see a bigger role on offense with RJ Barrett (personal) away from the team for some time.
Milwaukee Bucks guard Patrick Beverley (hip) is available for Thursday's showdown with Philadelphia. The journeyman played 27 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Kings. However, he was added to the injury report heading into this contest because of right hip soreness. That said, Beverley's fantasy ceiling isn't high under normal circumstances. But with Khris Middleton (ankle) and Malik Beasley (back) sidelined, Beverley has value potential for DFS managers.
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is cleared to play in Thursday's meeting with Philadelphia. He was upgraded to probable, so many had already assumed he'd be good to go. However, despite warming up, head coach Doc Rivers wouldn't comment on the multi-time MVP's availability. Of course, Antetokounmpo is always a must-start fantasy option. But with Khris Middleton (ankle) still sidelined, there's potential for even more production.
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) remains probable for Thursday's matchup with Philadelphia. He is warming up. However, head coach Doc Rivers hasn't revealed if the multi-time MVP is cleared for action. Antetokounmpo is routinely on the injury report. But his latest issue, a hamstring strain, is something new. Still, he's only missed three games this season, which has been a plus for fantasy managers. At any rate, if the 29-year-old isn't available, Bobby Portis would be a lock for all fantasy lineups. Of course, Damian Lillard would presumably see an increase in fantasy production without Antetokounmpo on the floor.
Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (groin) is questionable for Friday's tilt versus the Orlando Magic. A strained right groin has sidelined Trent for Toronto's past two matchups, and the sharpshooter hopes to return on Friday. Bruce Brown has started for the Raptors in their last two games and would likely continue doing so if Trent sits again, averaging 15.0 points, 7.0 boards, 4.0 assists, and 1.0 steals in 35.3 minutes through these two appearances.
