Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard Pat Connaughton turned into an unlikely hero in Wednesday's 112-100 win over the Knicks, exploding for a game-high 23 points off the bench in 31 minutes with 7-for-13 shooting from deep. He went 8-for-14 overall from the field and almost registered a double-double as well with nine rebounds and five assists. Connaughton is a very good shooter, but he mostly doesn't do much damage to the opposition and had managed 10-plus points just four times this season prior to Wednesday. The last time Connaughton had 20 points, he went on a bit of a scoring tear, so maybe history will repeat itself, although the next matchups are far from ideal, with trips to Boston and Atlanta coming up, followed by a home game against the Lakers.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Pat Connaughton will rejoin the starting five for Wednesday's matchup with the Timberwolves. Connaughton came off the bench Monday- but still played 32 minutes, contributing 13 points, seven boards, and three triples in a win over Indiana. The 28-year-old should have some DFS appeal with added shot opportunities available in the absence of Jrue Holiday (ankle). Connaughton is averaging 13.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, and over two three-pointers made per game this season.
