Dunleavy finished with 21 points (7-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one steal and one blocked shot in 39 minutes during Wednesday's victory over the Pacers.
Dunleavy had shot less than 30 percent from the field in three of the last four games prior to Wednesday's matchup. He also had scored less then seven points in each of those games as well, so he continued to exemplify his inconsistent play with his most recent 21-point performance. While he'll randomly break out for a big scoring night here and there, he's too inconsistent to be worth much more than a look in deeper leagues. His biggest asset remains his three-point shooting, as he's hit at least one in each of his last 11 games.

Dunleavy scored 21 points (8-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) in 38 minutes Thursday in a win over the Thunder, in addition to grabbing four rebounds and dishing out two assists.
Dunleavy has been wildly inconsistent as of late. In his two previous games, he was held to a combined eight points, but also scored 21 Feb. 27 against the Timberwolves. While he can have scoring outbursts, Dunleavy simply isn't consistent enough to be a reliable fantasy option in standard leagues.
Wed Feb 25 201522:39Dunleavy missed all three of field goal attempts and contributed...
Dunleavy missed all three of his field goal attempts and contributed just two assists, one rebound and one steal in 20 minutes of court time Wednesday.
It's the second time in four games Dunleavy has laid a goose egg in his stat line, and he's been mostly ineffective since returning to action from his ankle injury six games ago. With Derrick Rose once again on the shelf, the Bulls need Dunleavy to find his shot, or he'll continue losing minutes to players like Tony Snell.

Dunleavy (ankle) only contributed five points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 28 minutes during Thursday's game against the Cavaliers.
Dunleavy has now played in two games since returning to the court from prolonged ankle soreness. The lengthy All-Star break should help his situation even yet, although even at his healthiest the 34-year-old only provides value in deeper leagues.

Dunleavy is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers, Nick Friedell of ESPN Chicago reports.
Dunleavy returned from a lengthy absence Tuesday to play 24 minutes in a win over the Kings. While he emerged from the contest unscathed, he may still be dealing with pain in his ankle, so the team will wait to see how he feels Thursday morning before officially giving him the green light.

Dunleavy (ankle) returned Tuesday against the Kings after missing 19 games, finishing the game with five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and three assists in 24 minutes.
Dunleavy will likely return to the starting lineup on a full-time basis now. However, he's probably the fifth scoring option on the Bulls' offense. In his 34 games this season, Dunleavy is averaging just 9.4 points per game, 1.7 assists and 3.7 rebounds, which aren't particularly impressive fantasy numbers.
Tue Feb 10 201518:24Dunleavy (ankle) will play in Tuesday's game
Dunleavy (ankle) will play in Tuesday's game, ESPN Chicago's Nick Friedell reports.
It is not clear if Dunleavy will start Tuesday's game, but he should see 20-plus minutes, esentially taking all of E'Twaun Moore's minutes and some of Tony Snell's playing time. That said, it would be wise to hold off on using Dunleavy in daily leagues until he has shown the ability to play significant minutes in his return from a lengthy absence.

Hopefully he will be able to go when the Bulls take on the Warriors on Tuesday.
