GARY TRENT JR. NEWS

Bottoms out in Saturday's win Trent contributed five points (2-10 FG, 1-7 3Pt), one rebound and three assists across 28 minutes during Saturday's 121-108 victory over Orlando.

Impact Coming off a pair of decent performances, Trent fell in a heap Saturday, scoring a season-low five points. It appears as though the coaching staff has made the decision to shift Trent to the bench, allowing the team to run with a more traditional starting lineup. It remains to be seen what kind of long-term impact this will have on Trent's overall value, given the mixed bag thus far. He remains a hold in standard formats, but his minutes are something to keep an eye on moving forward.

Coming off bench Trent will play off the bench Monday against the Cavaliers, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Coach Nick Nurse usually doesn't offer much reasoning for his lineup decisions, but he'll opt to shift Trent to the bench for just the second time in his Raptors career. The Duke product has struggled shooting the ball of late -- he's 2-of-20 from three over his last four games -- so it's possible Nurse is looking to spark something by removing him from the starting five.

Puts up 19 points in loss Trent contributed 19 points (6-19 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 6-9 FT), one rebound, three assists and three steals in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 112-98 loss to the Nets.

Impact Trent didn't show any signs of rust despite missing three games due to a hip injury and an illness, and he was one of Toronto's most productive players in a game where the team looked overmatched. Trent has been a consistent scoring alternative for the Raptors, but his recent numbers have not looked very good, and he's reached the 15-point mark just twice across his last seven games.
