Gary Trent Jr.

Already without Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Bucks also won't have AJ Green again due to a shoulder injury. Trent moves into the starting lineup for Thursday's game, with Jericho Sims being moved to the bench. While he doesn't possess the highest fantasy ceiling, Trent is worth a look in deep leagues due to the opportunity.

Green missed Saturday's game after injuring his shoulder on Friday, which allowed Kyle Kuzma to start in his place and log while 29 minutes, and for Gary Trent Jr. to also play 29 minutes off the bench. If Green returns, Kuz will return to a reserve role, and both will lose out on minutes.

Green shot 0-for-4 in the first half in 14 minutes and may not be available to close out this game. Gary Harris or Gary Trent Jr. will likely start the second half in his place, though both should see extra minutes.

It won't be Trent that returns to the bench with Giannis back. Trent will remain a starter, while Kyle Kuzma will be pushed to the bench after starting the last eight games. Kuzma will still play a significant role off the bench.

Giannis will return after a four-game absence, and he'll immediately be back to playing his typical, high-usage role. Gary Trent Jr. started in his place in the Bucks' last game, but he'll likely return to playing a reserve role with Antetokounmpo back.
