Trent amassed 24 points (9-17 FG, 6-10 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across 35 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 125-116 victory over the Knicks.
Trent did the majority of his scoring from beyond the arc, tying his best mark of the season with six made triples. He's now reached the 20-point threshold in three of his last four contests, and he's also collected a block in three straight appearances and multiple steals in four straight outings.

Raptors' Gary Trent: Scores well, brings defense in loss
Rotowire
Trent finished with 22 points (9-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks in 38 minutes in Saturday's 106-104 loss to the Celtics.
With Fred VanVleet (ribs) sitting out Saturday and OG Anunoby (ankle) exiting the contest early, Trent cleared 15 field-goal attempts for the third game in a row and was generally efficient. Perhaps more notable than his scoring contributions were his outputs in the two defensive categories. While the two blocks aren't something that Trent will frequently replicate -- he's averaging just 0.3 per game this season -- he remains an elite source of steals. He's recorded at least one steal in each of his last 15 games and is averaging 2.1 per game over that stretch.

Trent was held to a single-digit scoring total Saturday against Atlanta, but he's bounced back nicely over his two appearances since then. He's played at least 42 minutes in back-to-back outings and logged his highest scoring total since Jan. 2 during Tuesday's defeat. Over his 10 appearances since rejoining the starting lineup, the 24-year-old has averaged 23.1 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.2 steals in 37.4 minutes per game.

The Duke product was held to seven points in his last game Saturday against the Hawks, but he managed to bounce back Monday. He's put together an impressive stretch of late by scoring 18 or more points in 10 of his last 11 contests.

Rotowire

With the Raptors running out of time to turn their season around, Trent's name has consistently come up in trade rumors, and the fifth-year guard's value seems to be peaking at the right time if the team does decide to move him.

Trent amassed 27 points (8-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 42 minutes during Friday's 112-108 loss to New York.

He's averaging 26.0 points per game in a six-game stretch during which he has scored at least 20 points each time out, and he's also doing it with efficiency since he's making 49.1 percent of his shots and 44.2 percent of his threes in that span.

Trent has scored at least 20 points in five games in a row and has been performing well as a starter, averaging 29.7 points per contest and shooting 47.6 percent from the field in his last three outings with the first unit. He opened the season in the starting lineup and moved to a bench role in late November, but given his recent performances, there's no reason to think his time as a starter will end any time soon.

The streaky wing missed four games just before Christmas with a quadriceps strain, but he's been productive on either side of his absence, averaging 20.8 points, 3.1 threes, 2.5 boards, 1.7 steals and 1.4 assists in his last 10 contests while shooting 51.7 percent from the floor, 44.9 percent from three-point range and 85.3 percent from the free-throw line.

Rotowire
Trent ended with 35 points (11-22 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 9-9 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals over 39 minutes during Friday's 113-104 victory over the Suns.
Trent has been producing well as a starter this season, but he had one of his best performances of the campaign Friday, as he carried the Raptors to victory while tying his season-high mark in scoring. Toronto has been shuffling its starting lineup in recent games, but there's a chance Trent stays in the first unit when the Raptors take on the Pacers on Jan. 2. He's scored at least 20 points in three consecutive games.

Raptors' Gary Trent: Starting Friday
Rotowire
Trent is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Suns, Doug Smith of the Toronto Star reports.
The Raptors continue to shuffle around their starting unit, and Trent will be the beneficiary of it Friday. The shooting guard has played a reserve role in his previous three games. He is averaging 16.4 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists across 31.9 minutes in 18 games as a starter.

Raptors' Gary Trent: Scores 20 points off bench
Rotowire
Trent supplied 20 points (8-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist, one block and one steal in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 124-113 loss to the Clippers.
Trent missed four straight games between Dec. 16 and Dec. 21 and looked a step slow in Toronto's win at Cleveland prior to Christmas Day, but he was his usual self in this one. He's certainly capable of putting up solid scoring numbers on a game-to-game basis, but the fact that he keeps coming off the bench puts a hard cap on his fantasy upside. Still, he's managed to become a reliable asset and has averaged 15.8 points per game while shooting 47.7 percent from the field across nine December appearances.
