Cole Anthony is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Wizards with an illness.Anthony had 10 points in 14 minutes on Tuesday. With Gary Harris (hamstring) already ruled out for Thursday's game, Gary Trent Jr. could be in for a decent workload off the bench.
Gary Harris is out for Thursday's game against the Wizards with left hamstring soreness.Harris is only averaging 17 minutes per game over the team's last five games, even though he has filled in as a starter at times. His absence could mean more minutes for Gary Trent Jr.
Gary Trent Jr. (illness) is not on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.Trent, who was not available for Friday's loss to the Nuggets, has been out of the Bucks' rotation recently. However, Giannis Antetokounmpo's calf strain likely changes that, but there's no need to add Trent immediately. Watch his playing time and production on Tuesday before making that call.

Gary Trent Jr. (illness) is probable for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.Ruled out for Friday's loss to the Nuggets, Trent had fallen out of the Bucks' rotation before his illness. However, with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) out for at least four to six weeks, there may be room for Trent to offer some value. There's no need to add him to fantasy rosters right now.
