Mike Dunleavy will miss Monday's game with an illness and Carlos Delfino slated to start in his place.
Delfino was already a hot commodity coming in with a five-game week and if you were torn on whether or not to start him, this looks like your sign. And once Delfino gets into the starting unit, it could be tough to get him out of there if he keeps hitting threes.

Mike Dunleavy handed out eight assists on Tuesday against the Wolves, and chipped in with five points on 2-of-9 shooting (no threes) with five boards and two steals.
Dunleavy logged 31 minutes in another start at shooting guard with Carlos Delfino (wrist) out, and the shift from scoring to assists was odd but surely useful to those owners spot-starting him. Keep trotting him out there as long as Delfino is out.

Mike Dunleavy started with Carlos Delfino (wrist) out on Monday, and scored 13 points on 3-of-12 shooting (3-of-8 from downtown) with three rebounds and three assists in 37 minutes.
With Delfino out and Stephen Jackson fouling out in just 17 minutes, Dunleavy was relied upon and produced a fairly normal result. Look for him to have similar value in the short-term while Delfino and Jackson get up to speed, but his long-term outlook isn't great.

Mike Dunleavy started Wednesday and had 13 points, three boards, two assists and a 3-pointer.
He started for Stephen Jackson, who is coming off back problems, and looked great. There's a chance he could overtake Carlos Delfino for the starting job, but could have trouble staying healthy. Just keep an eye on him.

Mike Dunleavy looked sharp during Saturday's game, scoring 16 points on 6-of-12 shooting (3-of-6 from downtown) in just 26 minutes.
Dunleavy started due to Stephen Jackson's absence, whereas he'll play off the bench when Milwaukee is at full strength. He's worth a late-round flier and has some upside due to his fantasy-friendly game.

Mike Dunleavy has been fitting in well for the Bucks after signing a two-year deal with Milwaukee earlier in the week.
"I felt good about my decision to come here a week ago and I feel even better now," Dunleavy said after the Bucks' practice session Friday. "I really like this group of guys; I like the coaching staff." Dunleavy is stuck behind Carlos Delfino and Stephen Jackson in the Bucks rotation, leave him on your league's waiver wire.

Mike Dunleavy officially signed with the Bucks on Saturday in what is believed to be a two-year, $7.5 deal.
He's likely to play behind Carlos Delfino and Stephen Jackson, but should be able to stay healthy in a minutes cut. Don't target him on draft day, but keep a close eye on him once the season starts. He could become a nice waiver-wire add at some point.

Free agent Mike Dunleavy has agreed to a two-year, $7.5 million deal with the Bucks.
Dunleavy was barely on the free agent radar, and at $3.8 million per year the Bucks may have gotten a bargain. He will likely backup both the SG and SF positions, behind Stephen Jackson and Carlos Delfino, where he won't be required to play too many minutes. A smaller role could preserve his health, but it also diminishes his fantasy relevance.

The Pistons will take a "close look" at Mike Dunleavy.
Dunleavy's tenure with the Pacers has run its course. The Pistons could view him as a veteran insurance policy behind Austin Daye, but the team would be foolish to commit more than just a single season to him at this point in his career. Dunleavy should be able to land one-year contract so he can attempt to prove his injury woes are behind him.
