Milwaukee Bucks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (back) is expected to suit up against the Wizards. He was a late addition to Friday's injury report and ultimately was ruled out heading into the Raptors' loss to Oklahoma City. Javon Freeman-Liberty moved into the starting lineup, with the rookie finishing with 10 points, the second double-digit scoring performance of his brief career. Once again, Toronto won't have RJ Barrett (personal) and Immanuel Quickley (personal), meaning Trent, averaging nearly 17 shot attempts in his previous eight appearances, should remain heavily involved, assuming he gets the green light. Unfortunately, Trent's anticipated return may limit the ceiling of Gradey Dick, who scored 21 points on Friday evening.

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (back) has unexpectedly popped up on the injury report on Friday afternoon and is now considered questionable for their game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He's listed with lower back stiffness and the Raptors are only competing for the number-one pick in the NBA Draft, so they're not going to force Trent to play if he's not 100% healthy. If he's downgraded to out, which seems more likely with this late of an injury report, that would mean all five starters are out for this game. Jahmi'us Ramsey would likely move into the starting five along with Bruce Brown and Gradey Dick. All three could be considered streaming options, but they'll have an uphill battle against a playoff contending Thunder team.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) has been cleared to play ahead of Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The superstar forward will make his return to the court after missing each of the last two games due to a hamstring injury. He should slide back into the starting five and have his normal role on Thursday. Fellow forward Khris Middleton (ankle) is sitting out on Thursday, which could mean a slight boost for Antetokounmpo. Fantasy managers should make sure to double check their lineups ahead of tip-off.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) isn't on the injury report ahead of Thursday's encounter with the Kings. He's been absent for a pair of games with a shoulder injury but appears to be ready to rejoin the action in a favorable fantasy matchup. Deni Avdija (knee) is questionable for the game, meaning Kuzma could be the only regular starter in the lineup. He's set to do a lot of heavy lifting offensively, along with Jordan Poole. Kuzma produced 27 points, eight rebounds, and one block in 29 minutes against Sacramento in this season's first head-to-head meeting between the teams.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) won't play against Boston on Wednesday. He misses a second consecutive contest despite practicing the last couple of days. Bobby Portis is always a popular fantasy choice when Antetokounmpo sits, while Damian Lillard and Khris Middleton get more offensive responsibilities. Antetokounmpo won't have to wait long for his next opportunity to return, as Milwaukee also takes the court Thursday night against Brooklyn.
