The Bucks held on to beat the Cavs on Saturday behind Mike Dunleavy's 29 points, 12 rebounds, six assists, two steals and one block.
Dunleavy drained 10-of-12 FGs, including an unconscious 6-of-7 from downtown, while turning the ball over just once in 35 minutes. He has a very fantasy-friendly game, as this line attests, but guessing when he'll explode is like betting on green in roulette. His eruption reduced Tobias Harris (13 minutes) to a pile of ash.

Mike Dunleavy (mid-foot sprain) played as expected on Friday, scoring seven points on 2-of-5 shooting (including a three) with six rebounds, two assists, and two steals in 23 minutes.
Dunleavy will operate on a lever with the surging Tobias Harris (18 points, 33 minutes), and if Harris continues to play like he did tonight then Dunleavy will be a hard guy to own. With plenty of injury risk, when Dunleavy isn't producing it's never a bad idea to look for higher upside fantasy prospects.

Mike Dunleavy missed practice on Monday due to a mid-foot sprain, but he's expected to play in Friday's season opener.
Dunleavy had been playing well in the preseason, and with the injury not thought to be a serious concern, owners should keep an eye on him to see if he can replicate the success when the real show begins.

Mike Dunleavy hit 8-of-12 shots for 21 points on Monday against the Raptors, and also chipped in with five boards, three assists, and a block in 31 minutes off the bench.
Mike D hit 3-of-5 triples and his recent strong play has put a dent into Tobias Harris' fantasy outlook, but it remains to be seen if Scott Skiles wants to bring the injury-prone Dunleavy into a more rigid starter's role. Savvy owners looking for a last-round selection could be onto something by forgoing the typical youthful flier pick for a guy in Dunleavy who tends to operate like this when healthy.

Mike Dunleavy filled up the stat sheet on Tuesday with 13 points, eight boards, three assists, one steal and two threes in 29 minutes against the Bulls.
Tobias Harris got a quick six points in the first quarter, but cooled off to finish with eight points, five boards and a block in 19 minutes. Harris is likely to start and has a bigger upside at the end of deeper drafts, but owners shouldn't completely forget about Dunleavy.

Mike Dunleavy scored 23 points on 6-of-12 shooting (3-of-7 from deep, 8-of-9 from the line) with eight rebounds in 32 minutes off the bench on Thursday against the Pacers.
Dunleavy had some extra breathing room tonight with Ersan Ilyasova (back) out and Carlos Delfino putting up bagels in just 16 minutes of action. Ilyasova hasn't been all that happy in Milwaukee, but setting that aside his back injury has to be pretty bad for him to sit out of a must-win game. Dunleavy deserves fantasy consideration going forward, though he'll be a shutdown risk if/when the Bucks are eliminated from playoff contention.

Mike Dunleavy scored nine points off the bench on Friday, hitting 2-of-8 shots (including a three) with three rebounds and two assists in 18 minutes.
Meanwhile, Carlos Delfino finally got his stroke going with 5-of-8 makes for 16 points, so Scott Skiles went with the hot hand. Delfino has been a mess and Dunleavy has been more hit than miss lately, so owners will want to evaluate the situation accordingly.

Mike Dunleavy hit 5-of-15 shots and two 3-pointers for 19 points, six rebounds, three assists and a steal in Wednesday's loss.
Dunleavy got hot early and Carlos Delfino was terrible tonight, allowing Dunleavy to have a big night. But as you surely know by now, relying on any Scott Skiles player for too long can result in fantasy disaster. Dunleavy had just two points on 1-of-5 shooting on Monday, so don't expect him to play like this every night.

Mike Dunleavy scored just two points on 1-of-6 shooting with five rebounds and five assists in 18 minutes on Monday against the Thunder.
Dunleavy has been a borderline producer lately, at best, though he's still a prominent member of the Bucks' attack and could return to being productive at any time. His attempt to karate chop Serge Ibaka was both fun and educational.
