Mike Dunleavy, an unrestricted free agent, admitted he likes the Bucks but stopped short of guaranteeing his return.
Dunleavy was a solid pickup for the Bucks and will have no shortage of interest on the open market as someone capable of doing multiple things off the bench. "I like being here; I grew up here," he said. "I'm willing to come back. Honestly I haven't given a lot of thought to it." The Bucks have a huge offseason ahead, and it wouldn't surprise us to see Dunleavy try and land with a more competitive team. Apr 30 - 8:02 AM

Mike Dunleavy - G/F - Bucks

Mike Dunleavy shot 6-of-9 from the field for 16 points in Tuesday's loss to the Heat with six boards, five assists, two steals and two 3-pointers in 25 minutes.

He scored 16 of Milwaukee's 30 bench points with Marquis Daniels chipping in with eight. J.J. Redick played just eight minutes, scored two points and the trade to give up Tobias Harris isn't looking great so far. Miami's first unit is head and shoulders above Milwaukee's and their second unit looks to have an advantage, as well.

Mike Dunleavy - G/F - Bucks

Mike Dunleavy stepped up for the short-handed Bucks, scoring 19 points with three 3-pointers and three assists off the bench in Saturday's loss to Charlotte.

The Bobcats give up the most 3-pointers of any team (8.7 per game), but Jim Boylan probably regrets his team launching 29 attempts from downtown, only nine of which went in. Milwaukee is gearing up for the playoffs and it's doubtful that Dunleavy will exceed his usual low-end value in the final two games of the regular season.

Mike Dunleavy - G/F - Bucks

Mike Dunleavy played 37 minutes off the bench vs. the Magic on Wednesday, scoring 17 points with six boards, six assists, one block and three 3-pointers.

It was really a perfect storm for Dunleavy tonight with Brandon Jennings going down with an Achilles and Ersan Ilyasova not playing. Dunleavy was actually already holding mid-round value over the past week, so he's worth a look while the Bucks are banged up.

Mike Dunleavy - G/F - Bucks

Mike Dunleavy cooled off in Friday's 101-83 loss to the Knicks, shooting 2-of-6 from the field for five points with three boards, one assist and one 3-pointer in 20 minutes.

He scored 15 points in each of his last two games and averaged 31.5 minutes, but this dud will be a tough pill to shallow for those that justifiably bought into those games. Dunleavy should be better, but there's no reason to pick him up in shallower leagues with the demand unlikely to be there following Friday.
Apr 5 - 11:56 PM
Mike Dunleavy - G/F - Bucks

Mike Dunleavy scored 15 points with three 3-pointers, four rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks vs. the Wolves, while logging 32 minutes off the bench.

Starting SF Marquis Daniels had just two points in 16 minutes, and Dunleavy now has back-to-back games with 15 points. His role is too volatile for use in most formats, though with four games next week he could be a tempting start in deeper weekly leagues.

Mike Dunleavy - G/F - Bucks

Mike Dunleavy played 31 minutes against the Bobcats on Monday, scoring 15 points with seven assists and one 3-pointer.

He played just seven minutes on Saturday because of an illness limiting him, but he was fine today and the Bucks gave him some extra burn without Luc Richard Mbah a Moute (toe). Dunleavy is worth a look in standard leagues with a favorable schedule.
Apr 1 - 11:12 PM
Mike Dunleavy - G/F - Bucks

Mike Dunleavy played through his illness on Wednesday and had nine points, four boards, a steal, a block and a 3-pointer on 4-of-7 shooting in 27 minutes.

Brandon Jennings was benched and Dunleavy saw very solid minutes. If Jennings continues to sit in Jim Boylan's doghouse, which is quite possible, Dunleavy and J.J. Redick are going to be very relevant down the stretch.

Mike Dunleavy - G/F - Bucks

Mike Dunleavy (illness) and Larry Sanders (rest) did not practice on Monday, but they're both expected to play on Wednesday against the Sixers.

Sanders is dealing with routine soreness and should be fine, while Dunleavy is battling a flu bug. Since the Bucks don't play until Wednesday, we're optimistic both will be recovered in time to take on Philadelphia.

Mike Dunleavy - G/F - Bucks

Mike Dunleavy had 10 points, seven rebounds, three assists, a steal and two 3-pointers in 28 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's loss to the Hawks.

As long as Ersan Ilyasova is out with a back injury, Dunleavy is worth a look in deeper leagues.

Mike Dunleavy - G/F - Bucks

Mike Dunleavy missed all six of his shots on Wednesday and failed to score despite starting and playing 26 minutes.

This was the polar opposite of Tuesday's performance, when Dunleavy caught fire for 18 points, four 3-pointers and a nice stat line, but he'll be worth a close look going forward if he sticks in the starting unit. That's up for debate, as injuries to Ersan Ilyasova (who is back) and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute (who is out) are responsible for his recent starts.

Mike Dunleavy - G/F - Bucks

Mike Dunleavy hit four 3-pointers in Tuesday's loss to Dallas, adding 18 points, six boards and one steal on 7-of-12 shooting.

He received 38 minutes of playing time due to Luc Richard Mbah a Moute (turf toe) sitting this one out. Dunleavy has been relatively quiet, but he's heating up with a 16-point, four-trey game coming on Sunday. He has upside, so he'll be worth a look while he's producing like this.
Mar 12 - 11:56 PM
Mike Dunleavy - G/F - Bucks

Mike Dunleavy made his second start of the season in Saturday's road victory, scoring nine points with two 3-pointers, eight rebounds, two assists and one block in 31 minutes.

Ersan Ilyasova's absence with a bruised knee necessitated the lineup change, but with Ersan day-to-day this is unlikely to have long-term consequences. Dunleavy is great for the Bucks' ball movement and spacing but he's mired in a March shooting slump, going 10-of-30 from the field in his past three games.
Mar 10 - 1:20 AM
Mike Dunleavy - G/F - Bucks

Mike Dunleavy (ankle) played 20 minutes off the bench on Saturday, scoring eight points with two 3-pointers, three rebounds and two assists.

Dunleavy hurt himself on Wednesday but the Bucks haven't played since, and his ankle didn't seem like a concern tonight. J.J. Redick's arrival has done Dunleavy no favors, but when healthy he's versatile enough for low-end value.
Mar 3 - 1:39 AM
Mike Dunleavy - G/F - Bucks

Mike Dunleavy had 16 points, six rebounds, three assists, a steal, a block and two 3-pointers on 6-of-11 shooting in 31 minutes on Wednesday, despite suffering a sprained right ankle.

He left the game in the second half due to the injury but was able to return. However, we're going to call him day-to-day until we see how it responds in the morning. This is the first time we've blurbed Dunleavy since January, which should tell you how poorly he had been playing up to this point. And it's probably not a coincidence that Brandon Jennings has suddenly disappeared. Keep an eye on Dunleavy, but don't expect Jennings to stay invisible for much longer.
