Bucks' Gary Trent: Solid showing off bench Saturday
Rotowire
Trent closed Saturday's 112-101 victory over the Wizards with 15 points (6-16 FG, 3-10 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 31 minutes.
Trent's seven boards established a new season high, and his performance off the bench was encouraging given he had scored in single digits in each of Milwaukee's past three outings. Since the calendar flipped to December, Trent is averaging 10.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 26.1 minutes per game over eight contests. The 25-year-old sharpshooter hasn't been a part of the Bucks' starting lineup since a Nov. 4 loss to the Cavaliers, but he remains an option to make future starts if he can find his rhythm from downtown, as usual starter Taurean Prince moved to the bench for the first time this season Saturday.

Bucks' Gary Trent: Scores 11 points off bench
Rotowire
Trent ended with 11 points (4-11 FG, 3-9 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 119-104 loss to the Hawks.
Trent seems to have adjusted well to a bench role in Doc Rivers' rotation, and the sharpshooter has responded by draining multiple threes in eight of his last 10 games. Trent is shooting an elite 50 percent from three, as well as averaging 10.9 points per game, in that span, so he remains a valuable fantasy option, particularly in category-based leagues.

Bucks' Gary Trent: Bounces back in Tuesday's win
Rotowire
Trent ended with 16 points (6-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 27 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 128-107 win over Detroit.
The 25-year-old wing had scored just four total points over the prior two games while going 0-for-5 on three-point attempts, but Trent shook off the mini-slump Tuesday. Recent stumble aside, he's looked far more comfortable on the second unit -- over his last nine contests coming off the bench, Trent is averaging 10.9 points, 2.8 boards, 2.8 threes, 1.3 steals and 1.2 assists in 25.8 minutes while shooting 53.2 percent (25-for-47) from beyond the arc.

Trent logged four points (1-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes during Monday's 116-114 loss to Cleveland.
