Milwaukee Bucks guard Pat Connaughton (left adductor strain) is expected to be available for Monday's matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 31-year-old went scoreless in Saturday's loss to Cleveland, and while the strain may impact his performance, he's anticipated to push through it. Through six games this season, Connaughton has provided 3.8 points and 3.2 rebounds per game off the Bucks' bench.
Pat Connaughton, Jae Crowder Starting For Bucks Wednesday
Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Pat Connaughton and forward Jae Crowder will enter the starting lineup on Wednesday against Memphis. Connaughton will be Malik Beasley's backcourt partner, with Damian Lillard (groin) and Patrick Beverley (ankle) unavailable. Crowder replaces Khris Middleton (ankle), who's resting on the second night of a back-to-back. Both players will have extra fantasy value in a starting role. Connaughton is the more attractive piece of the two, with him having notched 10.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 7.5 assists in two previous starts this season.
Milwaukee Bucks forward Pat Connaughton will move into the starting five ahead of Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Connaughton will be the lone change to the lineup with Giannis Antetokounmpo (Achilles) ruled out. A move to the starting five should give Connaughton a boost in fantasy value. However, Bobby Portis remains the better fantasy play despite coming off the bench during Monday's game.
Milwaukee Bucks guard Pat Connaughton (knee) has been listed as probable for the Friday night matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He's listed with patellar tendinitis in his left knee, so it seems to be a pain tolerance issue at this point. Connaughton hasn't been much of a fantasy-relevant player this season as he has only started in two games and his average minutes per game have dropped over the past few seasons. He'll remain in his bench role as the Bucks will try to get back up to the second seed in the East over the remaining stretch of the season.
Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Pat Connaughton (ankle) will remain on the sidelines Monday versus Chicago. This is going to be the fifth straight game he misses due to a right ankle sprain. Connaughton's absence should help MarJon Beauchamp maintain a significant role in the rotation, while Cameron Payne and Andre Jackson Jr. also have an opportunity to log more minutes off the bench. Payne is definitely the best fantasy option from the three, although far from a must-have piece.
Milwaukee Bucks forward Pat Connaughton (ankle) will remain on the sideline for Thursday's game against the Indiana Pacers. This marks the fourth game in a row that Connaughton has missed due to a right ankle sprain. His absence should mean more minutes for MarJon Beauchamp and AJ Green in the rotation. Normally, neither of them would be streaming options. However, it's a two-game slate and with increased minutes they could be valuable given the limited selection.
Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Pat Connaughton (ankle) has been ruled out of the team's in-season tournament game on Tuesday night against the New York Knicks. This will be his third consecutive game that he has missed from a right ankle sprain. Cameron Payne and MarJon Beauchamp have been receiving more minutes off of the bench in his absence and they should continue to do so. The Bucks may opt to give the starters heavy minutes as well since this is the knockout stage of the tournament.
Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Pat Connaughton (ankle) remains out for Saturday's game versus the visiting Hawks. The 30-year-old will now miss his second consecutive contest because of a sprained right ankle. That said, he's averaged only 5.8 points this season, so his absence wouldn't impact many fantasy managers. Nevertheless, without Connaughton in the lineup, rookie Andre Jackson Jr. (back) would be a favorite to see more work. But he's questionable, meaning the Bucks could lean heavily on the starting lineup while allocating most of the bench minutes to Bobby Portis, MarJon Beauchamp, and Cameron Payne.
Milwaukee Bucks forward Pat Connaughton (ankle) has officially been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks as he deals with a right ankle sprain. This will be just the second game that this ankle sprain forced him to miss, but the rest of the team has been on the healthier side lately. As he's sidelined, Malik Beasley and MarJon Beauchamp will see some added minutes.
Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Pat Connaughton (ankle) won't be available to face the Bulls on Thursday. The 30-year-old sniper sprained his right ankle in Tuesday's battle with Miami and will miss his first game of the season. Connaughton has been one of the first guys off the bench for Milwaukee, averaging 23.1 minutes per game. Youngsters MarJon Beauchamp and Andre Jackson Jr. should soak in most of the available minutes. We might see plenty of them on Thursday, as the game has blowout potential, with the Bucks seen as eight-point favorites for the contest.
