Bucks' Gary Trent: Goes missing Saturday
Trent amassed one point (0-5 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and one rebound across 22 minutes during Saturday's 110-102 victory over the Hawks.
Trent's woeful season continued Saturday, scoring a season-low one point despite playing 22 minutes. After starting the first seven games of the season, Trent was subsequently moved to the bench following a string of poor performances. Across 23 games, Trent is averaging just 8.9 points and 2.0 three-pointers in 25.8 minutes per game.

Bucks' Khris Middleton: Quiet in win Saturday
Middleton closed with six points (2-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 22 minutes during Saturday's 110-102 win over the Hawks.
Middleton struggled again Saturday, continuing what has been an underwhelming return to competition. He has now played four games since returning from a lengthy injury absence, averaging 7.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.5 steals in 21.3 minutes per game. While he will likely be better than this moving forward, it is clear the medical staff is going to exercise caution given his lengthy injury history.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Flirts with triple-double in win
Antetokounmpo ended with 32 points (10-15 FG, 12-18 FT), 14 rebounds, nine assists, four blocks and one steal across 38 minutes during Saturday's 110-102 victory over the Hawks.
Antetokounmpo was fantastic in the win, guiding the Bucks to the In-Season Tournament final, where they will face the Thunder. Despite regularly appearing on the injury report, Antetokounmpo has had a relatively healthy start to the season. An indication of how well he has been playing is the fact that he is averaging a career-high 32.7 points and 6.1 assists. Milwaukee have now won 13 of its past 15 games after losing six of its first seven games to open the season.
