Held to four points
This was a nightmare showing for Trent as the Bucks dropped to 1-6 on the season. To make matters worse, Trent was unable to take advantage of any extra touches vacated by Giannis Antetokounmpo (thigh). In seven appearances for his new team, Trent is shooting a mere 28.8 percent from the field and 23.1 percent from beyond the arc.

Shooting woes from deep in loss
Lopez stuffed the stat sheet on the defensive end while grabbing six steals-plus-blocks for the third time this season. However, the big man struggled from three-point range once again, and he has shot only 28.2 percent from deep while attempting 5.6 triples per game. Lopez's defensive ability has helped his fantasy value, though his struggles with efficiency thus far have put a damper on his defensive production. Through seven regular-season outings, the 36-year-old has averaged 10.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.4 blocks, 1.4 assists and 1.1 steals across 31.4 minutes per game.

Impresses in loss Monday
After receiving a DNP in Saturday's loss to Cleveland, Green exploded for the second-highest mark in points of his career Monday. The sharpshooter has struggled to carve out a consistent role with coach Doc Rivers giving Andre Jackson significant playing time off the bench. However, the second unit has struggled with production, especially from beyond the arc, and Green's performance from outside Monday bodes well for his role moving forward.

Massive double-double in defeat
While filling in for Giannis Antetokounmpo (thigh) in the starting five, Portis posted a monster double-double with a season high in both points and rebounds. The big man has remained a mostly consistent option off the bench thus far, leading a second unit which has had its fair share of struggles through seven regular-season games. Aside from his rebounding, Portis' best ability in fantasy is his availability, and he has played in 65 or more regular-season contests in each of his last five seasons. The 29-year-old has averaged 12.4 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.9 blocks while shooting 47.6 percent from the field across 26.3 minutes per game thus far.

Team-high 36 points in loss
With Giannis Antetokounmpo (thigh) absent Monday, Lillard exploded for his second-highest mark on the season. The superstar point guard amassed 41 points in Saturday's loss to Cleveland, and he again failed to will the Bucks to a win Monday, despite a valiant effort. Alas, the club finds itself with a 1-6 record, and the Bucks will need the All-Star to continue shooting the rock at a high volume alongside a healthy Antetokounmpo if they are going to turn things around. Lillard has averaged 27.6 points, 6.7 assists and 4.6 rebounds while shooting 39.1 percent from downtown across 35.9 minutes per game in seven regular-season outings.
