• Bucks' Pat Connaughton: Hits two three-pointers in win

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Connaughton recorded six points (2-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 127-120 overtime victory over the Pistons. With Milwaukee's rotation down to only eight players Wednesday, Connaughton logged a season-high 24 minutes and two threes off the bench against Detroit. Over 12 reserve appearances for the Bucks this season, the 31-year-old veteran swingman is still supplying just 4.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 17.3 minutes per game. However, fantasy managers may see Connaughton take on a more pronounced role from the second unit once again if star guard Damian Lillard (concussion) and sixth man Bobby Portis (elbow) remain sidelined for Saturday's favorable matchup with the Hornets.

  Connaughton is probable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers due to a left adductor strain, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports. Connaughton was held scoreless for the first time this season during Saturday's loss to Cleveland, so while he's expected to play through the issue, it may impact his effectiveness. In his first five appearances of the season, Connaughton averaged 4.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 17.2 minutes per game.

  Connaughton closed with five points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds in 15 minutes during Monday's 119-108 loss to Boston. The 31-year-old led the bench in scoring with five points, though the entirety of the Milwaukee bench was outscored 28-19 by Payton Pritchard alone. Connaughton has received fairly consistent playing time off the bench four games into the regular season, but his 15 minutes against the Celtics marked his lowest total yet. In those four appearances, the veteran guard has shot just 7-for-20 from the field, including 4-for-14 from deep.

  Connaughton isn't starting Thursday's preseason game against the Lakers, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports. Connaughton drew a spot start in Sunday's preseason opener, but with Giannis Antetokounmpo (rest) and Gary Trent (elbow) returning to play, Connaughton will head back to the bench. Connaughton should see plenty of looks Thursday night as he prepares to handle a bench role in the upcoming 2024-25 campaign.
