Mayo scored nine points (3-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), with three assists and one rebound in 27 minutes before fouling out during Wednesday's loss to the Bulls. Mayo has frustrated fantasy owners, and if he's not hitting his shot, then he won't help your team out much. He played plenty of minutes, but after starting the year hot, has really slowed down quite a bit over the past three games.

Mayo was held to three points (1-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT) in 19 minutes in the loss to Washington on Saturday. Mayo had averaged 21 points in the first two games of the season, but had a game all too reminiscent of his 2013-14 season against the Wizards. He should bounce back Tuesday against the Pacers.

Mayo had 25 points (8-13 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT) with three rebounds and five assists in 28 minutes in the win over the 76ers on Friday. Mayo has opened the season well. Perhaps he wants to prove last year was an aberration. He has provided 42 points with eight 3-pointers in two games. With his early production, Mayo could move into the starting lineup before too long since he is the best scorer on the roster.

Mayo scored 24 points (7-13 FG, 6-10 3P, 4-4 FT) in 31 minutes during Monday's preseason win over the Knicks. Khris Middleton got in early foul trouble as the starting small forward, which opened the door for Mayo to get in the lineup and heat up from the outside. Bucks coach Jason Kidd has other, more versatile wings to give court time to, however, so don't expect Mayo to be much more than a long range option off the bench this season.

Jason Kidd is hopeful that he can help O.J. Mayo get back to being an effective player. "I think the big thing with O.J. - I've known him since he was in high school - and he's a great kid, loves the game of basketball. I don't know exactly what happened with him last year. But when you look at him playing in Memphis, playing in Dallas, he was playing at a very high level. That's our job, is to get him back there." Mayo's first season with Milwaukee could be described as catastrophic, but perhaps Kidd can make Mayo actually want to play basketball. The Bucks don't have too many options at the shooting guard position, but Mayo showed last year that he's a master of squandering opportunity.

Brian Windhorst said on ESPN early Sunday morning that the Bucks have been in negotiations to trade O.J. Mayo. Given Mayo's struggles, playing time and odd role with the Bucks last season, along with the arrival of Jabari Parker, this isn't the least bit surprising. Additionally, Gary Woefel said on Twitter Saturday night the the Bucks were also looking to move Larry Sanders for a veteran big man. These plans could all change if Jason Kidd takes over basketball operations, but it would be surprising to see Mayo back with the Bucks next year.

Duke forward Jabari Parker said he can learn from O.J. Mayo in an interview with ESPN on Wednesday. Wait, what? Perhaps no player in the NBA had a worse work ethic than Mayo last year. Mayo played just two of the last 19 games due largely because the team didn't even want to play him. The Bucks weren't very forthcoming on his injuries last season and even attributed some of his DNPs to lack of conditioning.

O.J. Mayo is not in uniform for Wednesday's game vs. the Hawks. His offseason started a long time ago and it couldn't have ended soon enough. Mayo likely had more double cheeseburgers than double-doubles this year, which isn't saying much considering he had zero double-doubles.

O.J. Mayo is not in uniform for Monday's game vs. the Raptors. The Bucks haven't really bothered updating Mayo at all and didn't even disclose his status tonight, so we're just assuming he's out. Only one more game after tonight, Bucks fans.

O.J. Mayo (ankle) will not play on Friday night. We really wish the team would just rule Mayo out for the season.
