Mike Dunleavy will play through an injury to his right (shooting) ring finger on Wednesday.
It's a situation to monitor, but doesn't sound like a cause for major concern. Dunleavy scored 18 points on Monday (the day after he injured the finger) and should be in line for plenty of run with Stephen Jackson (hamstring) out on Wednesday.

Mike Dunleavy scored 18 points off the bench on Monday, hitting 7-of-13 shots from the field (including two threes) with six rebounds and one assist in 36 minutes.
If we were to know that Stephen Jackson were benched indefinitely it would help Mike D's cause somewhat, but in the vast majority of situations you don't want to chase his numbers. They never pan out.

Mike Dunleavy scored just five points on Monday against the Heat, hitting 2-of-6 shots from the field (no threes) with one rebound and one assist in 19 minutes off the bench.
It's going to be hard for Dunleavy to be counted on in a bench role, and this result was expected to say the least.

Mike Dunleavy had 17 points, three rebounds, three assists and four 3-pointers on 5-of-7 shooting in Tuesday's tough loss to the Suns.
Dunleavy was instrumental in Milwaukee's big comeback that saw them overcome a 21-point deficit, but they came up short in the end. Carlos Delfino started, but scored just seven points, while Stephen Jackson had 12 points in 30 minutes. And given that all three played decent minutes tonight, Dunleavy's line is even more impressive. But now that Jackson appears to be back in the mix, Dunleavy's consistency will likely go out the window.

Mike Dunleavy scored a season-high 20 points on 8-of-10 shooting (including two threes) with three rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 25 minutes off the bench on Monday.
If you want to give Mike D a short-term look while Stephen Jackson is absent from the lineup feel free, but between his injury risk and the chance that Jackson starts playing again there's a lot not to like.

Mike Dunleavy bounced back from an off night on Friday and had 15 points and two 3-pointers on 6-of-8 shooting Saturday.
Carlos Delfino struggled again with just seven points, while Dunleavy benefitted from the absence Stephen Jackson, who was suspended for tonight's game. Jackson will be back for his next game, meaning Dunleavy will have to compete with him and Delfino for shots going forward.

Mike Dunleavy scored just four points on 1-of-5 shooting with two rebounds in 19 minutes off the bench on Friday.
With Stephen Jackson appears to be in Scott Skiles' good graces for now, there's not enough minutes to account for Mike D's off-nights. Drop him if you added him following his string of recent good games.

Mike Dunleavy came off the bench again Wednesday and set another season high with 18 points in 28 minutes.
He hit three 3-pointers and scored 17 on Monday. He's still going to be a bit hit or miss for fantasy owners while coming off the bench, but is playing well enough to be added in many leagues if you have a struggling player you want to drop. Carlos Delfino has been struggling and Dunleavy will take a hit if he ever gets it going.

Mike Dunleavy scored a season-high 17 points on Monday, hitting 6-of-15 shots from the field (0-for-5 from deep) with three rebounds and one assist in 31 minutes off the bench.
Dunleavy has way too many red flags to consider adding after one good game. With Stephen Jackson going in the tank right now, it's possible Dunleavy could hold some value, though. Owners should just watch him for now.

Mike Dunleavy is 1-of-9 from the field in two games since returning from a groin injury.
Dunleavy is a career 44 percent shooter and he'll turn things around eventually, but only if he stays healthy.
