Bucks' Pat Connaughton: Drops out of rotation
Pat Connaughton (coach's decision) didn't see the floor in Wednesday's 122-106 win over the Bulls.Connaughton appears to have lost his spot in head coach Doc Rivers' rotation, as the veteran wing has now failed to get off the bench in both of the Milwaukee Bucks' last two games. Taurean Prince, Gary Trent, AJ Green and Andre Jackson are currently serving as the Bucks' primary options on the wing, and Connaughton's path to playing time will only become more blocked once Khris Middleton (ankles) is ready to make his NBA debut. Connaughton shot just 35.5 percent from the field and 30 percent from three-point range while averaging 4.9 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 17.6 minutes over the Bucks' first 13 games of the season before dropping out of the rotation.

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