Trent finished Tuesday's 131-115 victory over Chicago with 15 points (5-9 FG, 5-8 3Pt) and one rebound in 23 minutes off the bench.

The 15 points represented Trent's best scoring effort since Dec. 14, when he dropped 20 points in a start against the Nets. The 27-year-old wing has been in a groove from downtown over the last week, shooting 12-for-29 (41.4 percent) from three-point range over the last four games while averaging 10.0 points in 23.5 minutes, but he offers very little else from a fantasy perspective.

Grant amassed 23 points (8-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), two rebounds and four assists in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 130-125 loss to the Suns.

The veteran has excelled as Deni Avdija's (back) placeholder. Although Grant has played a reduced role this season, the veteran has been quite useful while the team continues to develop its young core of players. Despite the youth-focused approach, it's clear that Grant's efforts are needed when injuries strike.

Nance finished Tuesday's 131-115 victory over the Bulls with 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt), eight rebounds and two assists over 27 minutes off the bench.

The third-year big man set a new season scoring high while falling a couple of boards shy of his first career double-double. Nance has seen a bigger role in the Bucks' frontcourt of late due to injuries, averaging 7.6 points, 4.0 boards, 1.3 threes, 0.9 assists and 0.7 steals in 17.7 minutes a contest over the last seven games. If the Bucks end up trading Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) ahead of the deadline, Nance could maintain or even increase that workload as the season progresses.

Green amassed 17 points (6-11 FG, 5-9 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 131-115 win over the Bulls.

After a quiet three-game stretch in which Green had scored just 13 combined points, the fourth-year guard found his rhythm again from long distance. Green has supplied multiple three-pointers in nine of his last 11 games, averaging 10.4 points, 3.0 threes, 2.3 boards and 2.0 assists over that span while shooting 44.6 percent from beyond the arc.

Williams ended Tuesday's 130-125 victory over the Trail Blazers with 24 points (11-14 FG, 2-3 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one block in 26 minutes.

Along with his double-double, Williams enjoyed one of his highest scoring totals of the season during the victory. Although Donovan Clingan succeeded against Williams' defensive efforts, a complete performance from the Suns was enough to turn the tide. Williams' production rebounded after a three-game stint in which he averaged only 7.7 points and 6.3 rebounds per game.

Rollins posted 21 points (8-21 FG, 5-8 3Pt), seven rebounds and 10 assists across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 131-115 win over the Bulls.

The double-double was the second of the season for Rollins, with the other coming back on Nov. 20 against the 76ers. The fourth-year guard has topped 20 points in four of the last five games, averaging 21.6 points, 6.0 assists, 5.6 boards, 3.4 threes and 1.6 steals over that stretch, and Rollins could see his usage increase even further the rest of the season if the Bucks do go through with a Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) trade this week.

Kuzma accumulated 31 points (12-22 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 131-115 win over the Bulls.

The 31 points tied his season high, while the double-double was Kuzma's fourth of the year, two of which have come in the last five games. The Bucks remain on the verge of a seismic roster shift with trade rumors swirling around Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf), but Kuzma is doing his best to improve his market value if he's also on the block. He's started seven straight games, averaging 16.1 points, 6.7 boards, 4.1 assists and 1.3 threes over that stretch.

Allen notched 24 points (9-18 FG, 6-11 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 130-125 win over Portland.

Allen turned in another solid total in the victory. He's now started six consecutive games, averaging 20.0 points, 5.0 assists and 3.2 rebounds during that stint. His tenure with the first unit could come to an end once Devin Booker (ankle) returns, but Allen should still have a noticeable impact with the second unit.

Williams logged 17 points (7-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 27 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 131-115 loss to the Bucks.

With Nikola Vucevic traded to Boston on Tuesday, Williams maintained an elevated role in the Chicago frontcourt and set a new season scoring high. The 24-year-old big will likely stick with the second unit, working behind Jalen Smith and Matas Buzelis, but Williams could see a starter's workload -- over the last three games he's averaging 13.7 points, 6.3 boards, 2.0 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.3 blocks in 29.7 minutes per game.

Gillespie closed with 30 points (10-17 FG, 8-14 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists and three steals over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 130-125 win over Portland.

The Suns have managed to stay afloat during Devin Booker's (ankle) absence, and Gillespie has been key to the team's success. He finished way above projections Tuesday night, blowing out his previous career high in points and recording his second double-double of the season. With Jalen Green (hip) looming on the bench, there are no guarantees for continued production for Gillespie, and he may have to settle for work in the second unit once the team is fully healthy.
