Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports that Milwaukee Bucks guard/forwardPat Connaughton(ankle) is ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. After making four consecutive appearances, Connaughton was unavailable for Sunday's meeting with the New Orleans Pelicans due to a right ankle sprain. He will now have to sit out another contest because of the ailment. Connaughton has averaged only 4.3 points and 2.5 rebounds in 14.2 minutes per contest in the 2024-25 season, so his absence this evening won't be a big issue for Milwaukee.

After making four consecutive appearances, Connaughton was unavailable for Sunday's meeting with the New Orleans Pelicans due to a right ankle sprain. He may now have to sit out another contest because of the ailment.

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forwardPat Connaughton(calf) is available for Tuesday's matchup with the Indiana Pacers. Connaughtonhas been bothered by a left calf strain, but he is now good to go after playing once in the last 11 games. His return won't affect fantasy basketball. The 32-year-old veteran has seen his minutes dry up when he's been able to suit up, averaging only 14.8 minutes in 31 games. He has posted 4.3 points and 2.6 rebounds.

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Pat Connaughton (calf) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He is trying to shake off a left calf strain ahead of the action. Connaughton has featured just once in the last 11 games, and his status does not affect fantasy basketball. The veteran has seen his playing time dry up this season, averaging only 14.8 minutes in 31 games. He has notched 4.3 points and 2.6 rebounds.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Pat Connaughton (calf) has been cleared to play ahead of Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Connaughton was active on Monday, but only managed to play two minutes during that contest. He'll be available once again on Wednesday and is hopeful to have a bigger role in the rotation. Most nights, Connaughton has been playing minutes in the teens, which hasn't made him a consistent fantasy option. He can continue to be ignored for Wednesday's slate.

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.

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.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Pat Connaughton (ankle) won't return to Tuesday's game against the Miami Heat. Connaughton played 15 minutes in this game, but won't return after halftime due to a right ankle sprain. In his absence, MarJon Beauchamp will likely be given more playing time in the second half. He could have some low-end streaming appeal if Connaughton is forced to miss more time.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Pat Connaughton was the spark plug of the game as he provided a huge scoring boost off of the bench in the 16-point Game 2 victory. The 30-year-old registered 22 points, four rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block while shooting 8-for-12 overall and 6-for-10 from beyond the arc. Anyone setting DFS rosters will have to look for different players stepping on offense if Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) has to miss any more time. Connaughton is one that we're likely to see more often since he's been in and out of the starting lineup throughout the year.

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Pat Connaughton (calf) won't be in the lineup Thursday versus Chicago. He managed to play through a sore left calf Tuesday against Boston but won't take the court this time around, which is probably for the best, as the team won't want to risk an injury with Connaughton. The 30-year-old has become a big part of the rotation, averaging 25.4 minutes per game for the season. With Khris Middleton (knee) also out Thursday, Joe Ingles, Wesley Matthews and Jevon Carter will be asked to pick up some extra work.

The NBA trade deadline has officially come and gone and we had one of the most active deadlines in recent memory with some big stars being dealt. Kyrie, KD, and Westbrook are all heading to new teams and we have been covering those trades and their fantasy impacts here at RotoBaller.But there were plenty of other lesser-known players who were dealt in the last few days and I wanted to go through and make sure we don't overlook some of these trades as some of those deals may even have more fantasy impact than the big moves.So here are some other trades that went down and my two cents on the increase or decrease in value that we should expect from the players involved for the remainder of the 2022-2023 fantasy basketball season. 

Moves That Matter

These are very much in order of how much they matter. Let's start with the Spurs sending their starting center back up North where he started his career.Jakob Poeltl to the RaptorsI am a huge Poeltl fan and was close to acquiring him on multiple teams before the deadline. It was a curious move by Toronto to be buyers instead of sellers at the deadline, but Poeltl gives them the presence at the five they have been lacking all season and allows Siakam to shift over and play PF where he belongs.Poeltl is no longer a shutdown candidate and has legit top-50 upside with his multi-category abilities. His departure also makes ... [More]

Milwaukee Bucks guard Pat Connaughton (calf) originally had a chance to make his season debut but was downgraded to out against the Cleveland Cavaliers. At one point he was even upgraded to probably, but the team is going to play it safe with him. This means he'll probably make an appearance in their next game on Friday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Jordan Nwora will likely see added minutes since there are six players missing from the Bucks' lineup.
